Japan: Advanced technology, cooperation with each country: SM-3, SPY-7, JNAAM
Japan: Advanced technology
Japan has achieved results through joint development with developed countries using advanced technology and parts.
SM-3 Block IIA:
A typical example is the defense missile “SM-3 Block IIA”.
Recently, the US Navy has successfully intercepted an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
Japan will supply the nose cones on the front of the conical warhead here.
SPY-7 Radar:
The SPY-7 radar is installed in the MD system in the United States.
The MD system is a land-based ballistic missile defense (MD) system in the United States.
Japanese technology is also used in the “SPY-7 radar mounted on Aegis Ashore”.
The SPY-7 will be installed on the next battleships in Canada and Spain, as well as in Japan.
AAM-4B radar probe:
AAM-4B radar probe developed by Japan.
We are co-developing a long-range air-to-air missile with the United Kingdom.
It will also combine with Europe with the Meetio missile developed by MBDA.
New long-range missile (JNAAM):
In the future, we plan to develop a new long-range missile (JNAAM) and install it in the F-35 fighter.
South Korea’s defense industry exports:
Japan’s international joint development is a way to share risks and grow the market at the same time.
South Korea’s defense industry exports are currently stagnant.
As in Japan, we must actively consider plans to discover and participate in international joint development projects.

Long Range Discrimination Radar: What is LRDR (Long Range Discrimination Radar)?
Used in US ground-based mid-course defense anti-ballistic missile systems.
It is planned to operate in Alaska in 2020. [1]
The main contractor is Lockheed Martin:
In October 2015, he signed a $ 784 million contract with the US Missile Defense Agency. [2]
The LRDR is a gallium nitride (GaN) -based solidified active electronically scanned array (AESA) early warning radar [2].
Continuous observation is possible even during maintenance [3].
Consists of solidified radar blocks:
This radar consists of individual solidified radar blocks.
When combined, the size of the radar can be increased.
Multipurpose GaN device manufactured by Fujitsu:
According to Lockheed Martin, the multipurpose GaN device used in the prototype version of LRDR is from Japanese electronics manufacturer Fujitsu. [4]
