1. An avionics chassis comprising:
- a housing having an outer surface, defining an exterior of the housing, an inner surface, defining an interior of the housing, and made from a composite material;
a radio wave shield comprising a metallic layer provided on the housing; and
a lightning strike conductive path comprising a metallic strip provided on the housing;
wherein the radio wave shield attenuates electromagnetic interference entering and leaving the interior, and the lightning strike conductive path directs the current from a lightning strike away from the interior of the housing.
