It is now all-out war between the owners of wind power and defense. Armed Forces to keep clean around his ten military airports to grapple not plan to think that there is an enemy helicopter attacks.
For pulse Doppler radar in fighter aircraft JAS 39 Gripen is a peaceful wind turbines as well be a hostile helicopter view Armed Forces and would like to have wind-free fyra mil around his ten military airports.
There may also cause problems when flying in the so-called radar column.
After several JAS 39 Gripen take off and land lock number two,
third-place and fourth grade their number one radar in the rotation.
Even if the plan starts in darkness and fog, and with minutes between
starts to find another plan like this.
But if there is one wind turbine and spins near the radar can be
mistaken and think that it is either an enemy helicopter or that it is
rotated FIRST motion you look at the radar and lock the turbine in
place.
In practice, it need not be a major problem - the pilot discovers quite
soon that the radar is locked on the wrong object - but the Armed Forces
want order and want to ban wind farms in the vicinity of the ten
military airports that it owns.
"Wind turbines have proved to be a major flight safety for the military
aviation, especially in the radar off the column. A decision in
principle has been taken to an area with a radius of 40 kilometers from
the center of the runway must be clear of wind turbines, at any
altitude. "
In the next sentence writes Anders iron that unfortunately is not able
to influence the wind turbines of less than 20 feet since they are not
bygglovspliktiga.
While Iron Anders sent the maps section to the state provincial offices
and showed how they wanted it.
This was leaked from the County Administrative Board of Blekinge to wind
power owners in the county and to the media, who interpreted it as the
Armed Forces want to tear down the entire turbine, are too close to the
military airports.
Then it took home the heck of lobbying organization Swedish Wind Energy.
- Is this only a problem for the JAS Gripen’s radar and not other types
of aircraft it would perhaps be easier to modify this radar instead of
halting progress towards a society based on renewable energy, "said an
upset Gunnar Frederickson, vice president of the Swedish Wind Energy.
