The Ministry of Defence remains committed to working with the wind farm industry on the development of enduring technologies that will mitigate the effects to Air Traffic Control and Air Defence radars; to ensure the safety of military and civil airspace users and the effectiveness of defence operations. This commitment includes, where possible, supporting temporary mitigation measures while enduring solutions are explored by industry.
