Britain and France jointly develop new missile: (FC/ASW)
Joint UK-French development of a new long-range missile is underway.
It will replace the ‘surface-to-surface missiles and anti-ship missiles’ currently in use by the British and French Navy and Air Force.
Current missiles to be updated:
MBDA manufactured the current air-launched cruise missile.
”Integration of long-range anti-ship missiles and cruise missiles” is a global trend.
England:
The long-range missiles currently deployed are: Will update in the future.
1. Air-to-ground cruise missile: Storm Shadow (name given by the British)
2. Anti-ship missile: U.S. Douglas-made Harpoon currently deployed.
France:
The currently deployed long-range missiles are: Will update in the future.
3. Air-to-ground cruise missile: SCALP-EG (=name given by France)
4. Anti-ship missile: Currently deploying Exocet manufactured by France’s MBDA.
FC/ASW: Franco-British Future Cruise / Anti-Ship Weapon
Integrated missile operation with FC/ASW:
Rolls-Royce and Safran Power Units will participate in the FC/ASW project.
In the future, air-to-ground cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles will be integrated.
1. Start FC/ASW ship-to-ship missile operations in 2028
2. Start of FC/ASW air-to-ground missile operations in the 2030s
Royal Navy Equipment Plan:
In the future, the new Type 26 frigate will be equipped with FC/ASW anti-ship missiles.
The Royal Navy’s Harpoon anti-ship missile will be retired in 2023.
Interim operation of anti-ship missiles:
For the time being, British frigates will temporarily operate NSM anti-ship missiles.
In 2024, Type 23 frigates and Type 45 destroyers will be equipped with NSM missiles.
What is the new anti-ship missile NSM?
A ship-to-ship missile developed by the Norwegian company Kongsberg.
Get past the enemy’s alertness with excellent stealth.
1. Maintains the ability to accurately attack enemies 180km away
2. Check the target detected by the sensor against the database
British government contracts with Kongsberg:
In November 2022, we concluded an NSM purchase agreement with Kongsberg.
1. Introduced as a temporary measure until the appearance of FC/ASW
2. Equipped with type 23 frigate and type 45 destroyer
In 2023, the 11th Type 23 frigate ” Somerset” will also be equipped with NSM.
Japan’s Type 12 surface-to-ship guided missile:
Japan will adopt the Type 12 surface-to-ship guided missile with improved capabilities and gradually extend its range.
Japan Ground Self-Defense Force:
Development of the Type 12 surface-to-ship guided missile with improved capabilities has begun.
Range of Type 12 surface-to-ship guided missile:
Ultimately, it attacks ships and ground targets 1500 km away.
It will also be installed on ships of the Ground and Maritime Self-Defense Forces and fighter aircraft of the Air Self-Defense Force.
Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force:
Conduct operational training for the Tomahawk missile with the U.S. military.
The Ministry of Defense announced that training will be held at the end of March at a facility in Yokosuka.
Educational training with the US military:
Training to operate the long-range cruise missile Tomahawk will be provided to members of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.
Operating a Tomahawk on an Aegis ship:
It has been decided that the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and Aegis ships will operate Tomahawks.
Implementation will be based on the “Three Security-Related Documents” of December 2022.
Necessity of tomahawk operation
Long-range cruise missiles can attack safely while maintaining a distance from the enemy.
In the future, it is said that the deployment of the Type 12 surface-to-ship guided missile with improved capabilities will be promoted.

Internet users’ opinions: Part 1
Japan, like Britain, is surrounded by the sea.
Long-range weapons are necessary as a means of intercepting missile attacks from other countries.
First of all, it is important to have the power to prevent your opponent from shooting you.
Internet users’ opinions: Part 2
Modern warfare is a missile exchange.
Developed countries deploy long-range anti-aircraft missiles for air defense.
1. In air strikes, if the enemy’s air defenses are not destroyed, they will be intercepted and shot down.
2. Long-range missiles are needed to destroy enemy air defenses, command centers, and ships.
3. Long-range missiles are also needed to recapture stolen land.
Internet users’ opinions: Part 3
The security environment surrounding Japan is rapidly deteriorating.
There are 10 types of long-range bullets currently under development, including gliding bullets.
1. Precision striking power is the most important aspect of Japanese missile performance.
2. Along with guidance technology, what is important is further expansion of ISR capabilities.
