The Royal Danish Navy’s flagship air defene frigate, HDMS Iver Huitfeldt (F361), is actively participating in NATO’s major live-fire integrated air and missile defense exercise, At-Sea Demonstration/Formidable Shield 2025 (ASD/FS 25). This high-stakes naval exercise, taking place throughout May off the coast of Bodø, Norway, is hosted by the U.S. Sixth Fleet and coordinated by Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO (STRIKFORNATO). It has become the largest of its kind in the European theater this year, involving more complexity, more nations, and a broader array of threats than any previous iteration.
