“Wind turbines within the line of sight of Early Warning Radar (EWR) disrupt these systems used for early threat detection and military surveillance. As depicted in Figure 1, all three of the projects under construction (Revolution, SouthFork, and Vineyard Wind) will significantly interfere with the EWR system. Interference can hinder ballistic missile airspace surveillance, confound target detection, and prolong response time to attacks.”

“Nonetheless, the presence and layout of large numbers of WTGs [wind turbines] could make it more difficult for SAR [search and rescue] aircraft to perform operations (of people or marine mammals), leading to less effective search patters or early abandonment of searches. This could result in otherwise avoidable loss of life due to maritime incidents.” page 3.17-8.
