Achieving the de-carbonised electricity generating capacity needed requires large-scale deployment of offshore wind that, if unmanaged, could have adverse impacts on the UK’s air defence radars used to deliver the security of the UK and its airspace. In 2019 the Offshore Wind Sector Deal acted as a catalyst to bring together the Ministry of Defence, Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (now Department for Energy Security & Net Zero), The Crown Estate and the Offshore Wind Industry Council. They formed a Joint Task Force, reporting to a Joint Programme Board, whose aim is to enable the co-existence of air defence and offshore wind. This first iteration of our Strategy and Implementation Plan shows the great progress that can be achieved by working together, despite the disruption caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic, and serves as an exemplar for resolving other complex issues between multiple government, industry and other stakeholders. This document represents an important milestone by sharing the progress made thus far, together with setting out the direction of travel for further work. The Task Force will continue working together, at pace, to make its aim of the effective co-existence of air defence and offshore wind a reality and together.

The TF meets each month in full, with an intermediate update meeting to review progress and a number of working sub-groups established to progress specific areas of work. Four focussed lines of activity were initially established to develop a body of evidence to support the development of the Strategy and Implementation Plan: • Paper-based Studies. To investigate what technical mitigation solutions might exist. • An offshore wind industry contracted Thales report on mitigation concepts and scenarios. • MOD Paper-based Feasibility Study by Defence Equipment and Support 11 on mature mitigation solutions. • MOD-contracted BAE Systems Windfarm Mitigation Study on low-Technical Readiness study. • Concept Demonstrations. To demonstrate the practical performance of selected mature technical mitigations identified by the MOD in its paper-based feasibility study focussed on those that might support offshore windfarm developments in the 2025-2030 timeframe. • Innovation. A BEIS funded, MOD delivered, Innovation Challenge to encourage development of novel solutions for the future. Managed by the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) with Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl). • Operational Analysis. To help MOD understand the operational effect that adverse impacts of windfarms have on the AD system, and so inform the development of the detailed requirements against which solutions will be procured. The TF’s work evolved in early 2021 into three broad workstreams delivered through collaboration between the four stakeholder groups (MOD, BEIS, TCE and OWIC). These workstreams are: • Evidence: comprising the Innovation Challenge, Concept Demonstrations, Operational Analysis, User and Systems Requirements and initial consideration of Integration aspects. • Process Development: through which mitigation solutions would be chosen and delivered; specifically, a Procurement and a Commercial Strategy. • Risk and Mitigation: a Joint Programme Risk Register along with the identification of impacts and mitigations for each stakeholder group: BEIS, MOD, TCE, OWIC. In this way the TF works together to identify potential technical mitigations and supporting processes to enable mitigation of windfarm impacts on AD in the 2025-2030 timeframe.
