A layered defence plan for the Falkland Islands

What should Britain procure to strengthen anti-access and area defence around the Falkland Islands?

A measured response could combine mobile and fixed air-defence missiles, coastal anti-ship weapons, more Typhoons, and airborne early warning.

Any reinforcement should follow actual changes in Argentine capability rather than assume an immediate threat. A stronger defence could combine fixed and mobile CAMM launchers with a longer-range area air-defence missile. A coastal anti-ship battery would complicate an amphibious approach. Additional Typhoons and an airborne early-warning capability would improve detection and interception. Together these systems would create overlapping land, sea, and air layers around the islands.
