; Whereas the potential safety and maritime supply chain impacts of navigational and radar interference related to proposed offshore wind leases has not been duly evaluated or mitigated; Whereas the Department of Defense’s Offshore Wind Mission Compatibility Assessment ruled much of the offshore east coast a wind exclusion zone , for defense and defense training reasons; Whereas, according to the Department of Defense, ARSR–4 primary long-range air surveillance radars would be very susceptible to interference from wind turbines, and that target tracking abilities decrease as turbine number, size, and density increases ; Whereas the Department of Defense acknowledged in May 2019 that noise generated by offshore wind turbines disturbs acoustically sensitive environments and may interfere with offensive- and defensive-based military sensors, and that currently there are no Department of Defense-supported unclassified studies that have been conducted regarding this topic; and Whereas the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Wallops Flight Facility stated in 2022 that offshore wind farms built within wind exclusion zones could potentially be flight obstructions, be impacted by falling debris from launches, and would impact the facility’s ability to accept and expand new technologies: Now, therefore, be it
