Offshore wind power projects are reshaping military radar strategies, as they can interfere with radar systems. However, nations such as the U.S., Taiwan, and several European countries have effectively managed these impacts for over a decade.

Solutions include advanced radar technologies and dual-use sensors that enhance surveillance capabilities. For example, in 2021, Saab tested air defense radar on Ørsted's wind farm in the U.K., extending radar coverage.

Poland requires defense equipment on its offshore wind farms, while the U.K. experiments with dual-use sensors. In contrast, Sweden has restricted offshore wind development, citing national security concerns related to missile detection.
