The new purchase aims to secure Denmark’s skies amid Arctic tensions.
Denmark has placed a $610 million order for air surveillance radars from US defense contractor Lockheed Martin, citing the move as essential to national security. The contract, awarded directly to Lockheed, covers three TPY-4 fixed air defense radars, with the option for a fourth unit.
The radars are set to be stationed in Skagen at Denmark’s northern tip, Bornholm in the Baltic Sea, the Faroe Islands, and potentially eastern Greenland, extending surveillance over one of the most remote parts of the Arctic.
