Whilst the level of objections to wind farms from radar operators is highest in the UK with national air traffic services NATS thought to object to more wind turbines than any other organisation in the world.

We have recently completed Wind Turbine Radar Impact Assessments for developments in Bulgaria and Greece. Issues considered include Air Defence Radar, Secondary Surveillance Radar, Radio Navigation Beacons and Instrument Flight procedures.
