"The Navy conducts obviously not lobbying, but orients just objectively about what it would take if the Danish politicians will follow up on the promise that then Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt gave the other NATO countries at the summit in Wales in 2014. Here, she said that Denmark had taken a decision in principle to equip at least one frigate with radar contributions for use in ballistic missile defense.
Such an objective orientation came the Head of Marine Staff, Frank Trojahn, with the conference on ballistic missile defense, which took place on the frigate Niels Juel Friday.

The three Danish frigates of Iver Huitfeldt class has called MK 41 launcher, which can accommodate the SM3 missiles to be used to shoot down ballistic missiles fired from rogue states like Iran and North Korea. We are not holding the SM3 missile frigate States' radar can not detect incoming missiles. It did not follow when they were a few years ago spent several billion kroner to get the three frigates built.
Initially trades the political discussion in addition to the next defense only on whether the radar on frigates to be upgraded so that they can detect incoming ballistic missiles.
When a ship is able to detect missiles, so moving it is also a class and becomes a strategic goal, says the Navy. Hence, the need to equip the frigates in the area air defense, which is not included when the big three frigates were built a few years ago. It will be the so-called SM2 missiles, which can also be fired from MK-41 launcher that can accommodate missile 32 in total.
In the Navy, it would indeed well imagine radar capacity. But one could also think just being able to low range air defense. The commander of Marine Staff, Frank Trojahn, they used his speaking Friday to talk more about area air defense than on detecting and shooting down ballistic missiles. Immediately, it might appear as if the Navy is a little worried that you get money for a new radar, but do not get money for area air defense.
"Area Air Defence is not only the protection of the ship itself. It is also the protection of society. A frigate with area air defense would be able to cover ports and cities, be a part of an aircraft carrier group or provide cover for troops on the ground, if they operate near a coast, "explained Frank Trojahn.
The opinion can also be interpreted as a form of full-hedge. By highlighting area air defense as an autonomous capacity that could solve many tasks other than just self-protection of a ship with missile radar, so it might help to ensure that the Navy will range air defense of the frigates - even if they do not get radar upgrade. For the portion is mixed policy positions.
So
if politicians choose radar upgrade, so it is important to remember the area air defense. And if they do not choose radar upgrade, then they should still choose to spend money on area air defense. Just how could one imagine a tactic was in the Navy - though not commit lobbying."
