The Swedish government recently rejected 13 offshore wind farm applications in the Baltic Sea, citing potential interference with military operations.
Saab, a defense company, claims its sensor technology can mitigate these risks by ensuring wind turbines do not obstruct military surveillance.
Saab's CEO, Micael Johansson, asserts that their sensors can maintain clear visibility for detecting threats like submarines and missiles.
Despite Saab's assurances, the Swedish Armed Forces support the government's decision, emphasizing national security concerns.
Brigadier General Stig-Olof Krohné highlights the complexity of integrating military technology with civilian infrastructure, questioning ownership and legal implications.
The debate continues as Sweden balances energy needs with defense priorities.
