An aircraft radome includes a composite structure including, or according to the circumstances configured to define, at least one housing extending along the radome from a base of the radome. The housing receives an electrically conductive strip in contact with an inner surface of an outer wall, or according to the circumstances flush with the outer wall, of the composite structure. A conductive base is situated in the region of the radome base and connected to a ground of the aircraft. The composite structure of the radome is devoid of any perforations or through-passages in the region of the electrically conductive strip, and a first end of the electrically conductive strip is in contact with the conductive base.
