"No conflict between radar and wind turbines"

A couple of weeks ago the Royal Danish Air Force conducted some tests in cooperation with Royal Air Force. The purpose was to test whether the offshore wind turbines at Horns Rev would cause any unwanted effects in relation to the TPS-77 radars to be used by the Royal Danish Air Force.

Different aircraft, including British Hawks flew various patterns to unveil any false signals or other undesirable effects caused by the turbines.

All preliminary analysis of the test results indicate that the turbines do not cause any problems in relation to the radar coverage.
