Wind Farm Radar Clutter

Sensor clutter generated by offshore wind farms that creates radar blackout zones — particularly across the UK east coast and the North Sea. A detection gap relevant to both conventional air defense and to low-RCS sUAS / drone incursions / UAP.

Per the 27 November 2024 UK Westminster Hall debate, mitigation is at an early stage and likely costly (see src-uk-airspace-defense-gap-2024-11).
