Terma has concluded an agreement with the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) for the supply of new coastal surveillance radars.
These systems are slated to replace existing radar infrastructure, ensuring the continuation of maritime domain awareness and the protection of Denmark's sovereignty over its waters.
The entire procurement package includes replacement of 32 existing radars within Denmark's coastal regions, integration and fusion of radar data supported by AI technology.
It also covers the provision of spare parts and technical documentation, training programmes for technical personnel charged with system maintenance.
The company said that two coastal radars are intended for deployment in Greenland under Arctic capability commitments.
The delivery schedule is set for 2025 and 2026.
The upgraded radar is expected to augment Denmark's capabilities in monitoring maritime traffic, responding to potential threats to critical infrastructure, and preserving the marine environment.
In addition, these systems will assist the vessel traffic service in managing the safe movement of ships through Denmark's major straits.
Terma CEO Henriette Hallberg Thygesen said: “This agreement reflects Terma’s enduring commitment to supporting Denmark’s sovereignty and security. As a Danish company with decades of global experience in advanced coastal surveillance, we are proud to deliver solutions that strengthen national resilience and safeguard our maritime domains. This delivery is another milestone in Terma’s close relationship with the Danish Defence and contributing to the country’s ability to navigate future challenges with confidence.”
The contract also includes a modern integration platform that employs AI to consolidate data from all radar sites.
This feature is designed to enhance real-time situational awareness and facilitate multi-domain operations by providing decision-makers with AI-processed data.
The installation process for the new radar systems will primarily utilise existing tower structures.
By the end of 2026, the full coastal surveillance system is expected to reach full operational status.
