Claim:
1. A force-applying element for fixing radomes, comprising: an annular flange region; and at least one fixing region which extends from the annular flange region in the direction towards a foam radome to be fixed, the fixing region having an annular shape with a diameter that narrows in the direction towards the radome to be fixed, the fixing region including two outer surfaces and undercuts in the form of a plurality of tunnels that connect both outer surfaces of the fixing region to one another, such that the fixing region defining the tunnels surrounds portions of the foam radome to be fixed in a form-fit manner on four sides to prevent it from being rotated relative to the force-applying element or pulled from the force-applying element in an axial direction, the outer surfaces being configured to be surrounded by the foam radome to be fixed at least partially in a form-fit manner, wherein one or both outer surfaces of the fixing region provide indentations or notches, which are configured to be filled by the foam radome to be fixed in a form-fit manner and which are configured to prevent the foam radome to be fixed from being pulled from the force-applying element in an axial direction.
