Photo: The AWWLF Mjølner 2026 AM exercise takes place in northern Norway around Andøya, Andenes, with the international participation of Belgians, Dutch, Norwegians and Danes. This is where the so-called "grey firing" is trained, i.e. a scenario that is as real as possible in which "enemy forces" shoot at drones in the water and in the air. The CIR (Cyber and Information Space) command provides a container for Link 16 and several antennas for the exercise. In the background you can see the ASD (Andøya Space Defence) antenna on the mountain. AWWLF Mjølner 2026 AM
