Denmark possesses significant strengths in design innovation, electrification, energy efficiency, sustainability, and systems integration, which could be leveraged to enhance its defense capabilities. This approach would not only bolster security but also stimulate job creation, exports, and technological advancements.
Denmark already excels in marine technology, constructing advanced trawlers that often surpass the sophistication of naval vessels. This existing expertise can be channeled into developing intelligent defense systems.
The focus should be on creating solutions that minimize the reliance on large crews while maintaining a strong deterrent effect. This can be achieved by incorporating cutting-edge design and technological skills.
While Denmark doesn’t need to manufacture every component independently, it should actively participate in collaborative Nordic and European defense projects, contributing its unique design and technology capabilities.
