- The Royal Netherlands Navy’s air-defence frigate HNLMS Evertsen completed its first involvement in Exercise Sharpshooter, led by QinetiQ.
- During three days about 20 miles off the Welsh coast, the ship shot down five aerial drones and sank two unmanned surface vehicles.
- The exercise blended live and virtual threats such as cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and hostile aircraft to simulate complex swarm attacks.
- QinetiQ highlighted that multinational training enhances allied readiness and fosters shared tactics for rapid decision-making in evolving threat scenarios.
HNLMS Evertsen and the Royal Netherlands Navy are grateful to have trained on such an immersive level. To be able to fire at live targets and keep our crew in a higher state of readiness for multiple days has taught us many lessons we aim to take with us when sailing on an operational level.— Commander Marcel Keveling of the Royal Netherlands Navy on the Sharpshooter exercise.
