<p>Through the Air Defence and Offshore Wind Task Force, Ministry of Defence (MOD)
officials are working closely, and collaboratively, with colleagues from the Department
for Energy Security and Net Zero, Scottish Government, the Crown Estates and windfarm
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
that future offshore windfarms, including Floating installations, would have on MOD's
Air Defence Radar. A commercial framework of potential suppliers is now in place and
MOD will launch the first call-off competitions within this framework later this year.</p>
