Japan, U.S. to Conduct Missile Interception Drill
November 12, 2010
The U.S. and Japanese militaries are planning to hold a bilateral missile defense exercise early next month simulating a ballistic missile attack on Japan, Jiji Press reported yesterday (see GSN, Nov. 11).
The drills are set to begin on Dec. 3 and last for eight days. They would be staged in waters near the Japanese island territory of Okinawa as well as other areas.
The exercises would involve the simulated detection of a hostile missile, its monitoring by radar and its targeting for elimination, either by a Standard Missile 3 interceptor fired from an Aegis-equipped warship or by the Patriot Advanced Capability 3 system fielded at U.S. and Japanese military bases (Jiji Press, Nov. 11).
