During its incapacity, the frigate was placed under protective radar coverage from an American warship and eventually relocated to a lower threat area north of the Red Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe complete launcher system has therefore been taken ashore after Iver Huitfeldt\u2019s return to Denmark, where analysis is continuing in collaboration with the supplier,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ESSM weapons are made by a multinational industry consortium led by RTX\u2019s Raytheon. More than a dozen navies around the world have the missiles in their inventories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contrary to initial claims made by some Danish media, the investigation concluded that there is no indication of deficiencies with the ship\u2019s active phased array radar, made by Thales Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding artillery malfunctions, the crew reported that those were primarily caused by the early burst of shells close to the ship or failing to hit the target. The frigate\u2019s captain estimated that around 50% of the munitions used during the March 9 drone operation detonated early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shells fired by the Iver Huitfeldt were from production batches made between 1989 and 1992, which investigators said had previously not encountered such problems in test firings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the country\u2019s Defense Command maintains it did not receive any reports of operational concerns prior to the frigate deployment, a few details provided in the report appear to contradict this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The document notes that when the frigate underwent the British Fleet Operational Sea Training course, in December 2023, in at least two instances the crew faced challenges with data flow between the ship\u2019s command-and-control system and the radar and fire-control system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, a day after leaving Denmark, the vessel\u2019s commander shared in an assessment that the personnel situation remained \u201cfragile due to inexperience in new crew members,\u201d and that regarding the state of the equipment a \u201cfew concerns persisted, but appeared manageable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These concerns were in reference to the installation of one of the ship\u2019s guns and counter-drone system, which remained to be finalized and tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one of the concluding sections, the report further states that prior to March 9, the Ministry of Defense Acquisition and Logistics Organisation had knowledge of an existing \u201csoftware weakness\u201d in the interface between the ships\u2019 radar and fire control system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt could cause the system to lock if a certain operator behavior was detected, and this knowledge has probably to some extent been present in the naval command,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent government report about the frigate Iver
