However, defense experts argue these are solvable problems, not reasons to halt wind development. Solutions include modern phased-array radars that can see through turbine interference, software algorithms to filter turbine signatures, careful siting, and 'infill' radar installations. More notably, European countries like Poland, the UK, Belgium, and the Netherlands are turning wind farms into defense assets by mounting radar and multi-sensor suites on turbines to extend military surveillance range. Poland mandates defense equipment on all offshore wind farms. Sweden and the US under Trump have used security concerns to broadly restrict offshore wind, a stance criticized by defense experts who argue it forfeits tactical advantages and training opportunities in wind-farm-dense coastal environments. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
