industry stakeholders to address the problems that future windfarms would cause to
MOD's radars.</p><p>This joint work is essential to ensure air security of the United
Kingdom and supporting the deployment of offshore windfarms that are essential for
our nation's future energy security and decarbonisation.</p><p>MOD has established
Programme NJORD to deliver the technical solutions needed to address the problems
