Norway sent four F-35 Lighting II fighters to police Iceland’s airspace in March 2020, marking the first deployment abroad for the Royal Norwegian Air Force’s most advanced fighter. NATO’s Air Policing mission in Iceland, formally called Airborne Surveillance and Interception Capabilities is designed to meet Iceland’s Peacetime Preparedness Needs. Iceland has been a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) since its foundation in 1949, it is responsible with support from NATO for monitoring the airspace in and around Iceland while ensuring that all air traffic is identified. Because Iceland has no military, Air Policing service is provided by Allies on a rotating basis. Footage includes shots of F-35s taxiing, taking off and landing; shots inside Control and Reporting Centre Keflavík; and drone footage of the Icelandic coast. Includes interviews with Royal Norwegian Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Ståle Nymoen, detachment commander, and Icelandic Coast Guard Lieutenant Guomundur Hallgrimsson.
