La constitution japonaise interdit au japon d'avoir des porte-avions. Lorsque leur porte helico amontré un "signe" qu'il pouvait etre utilisé comme porte-aeronefs, cela a provoqué un tolle au parlement. A titre d'exemple, l'exercice de bombardement aerien n'est pas autorisé au japon, d'ou des F-2 qui se sont entrainait en douce a l'etranger... Cf DSI il me semble que j'ai déjà posté une vidéo montrant un F-2 faire une démonstration de bombardement en public au japon

- First Airborne Mine Counter Measures MCH-101 Delivered to the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force
Continues successful partnership between Finmeccanica-AgustaWestland
Delivers new AMCM capability to the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force The MCH-101/AW101 is the only modern helicopter capable of towing the AN/AQS-24A Provides a complete surface-to-bottom mine detection capability from a helicopter
Finmeccanica – AgustaWestland and Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) are pleased to announce the delivery of the first Airborne Mine Counter Measures (AMCM) equipped MCH-101 helicopter to the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force. The KHI MCH-101, a licence built version of the AgustaWestland AW101 helicopter, is equipped with the Northrop Grumman AN/AQS-24A airborne mine hunting system and the Northrop Grumman AN/AES-1 Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS). Together these systems provide a complete surface-to-bottom mine detection capability. The AW101/MCH-101 is one of only two helicopter types capable of towing the AN/AQS-24A and the only modern helicopter type.
The development of the AMCM variant of the AW101/MCH-101 has been led by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, as prime contractor, with AgustaWestland providing technical support. KHI has responsibility for system integration and design of the AN/AQS-24A carriage, deploy, tow and recovery system that is installed in the cabin. AgustaWestland in addition to providing technical support also modified the aircraft’s Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) to be able to perform coupled towing patterns with the AN/AQS-24A.
Following the handover ceremony at Kawasaki’s Gifu factory on 27th February, the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force aircraft was delivered to Iwakuni where it will perform evaluation trials with the 51st Experimental Squadron before entering operational service in 2016.
The AN/AQS-24A is the only operationally proven, high speed airborne mine hunting system in the world. It features a high-resolution, side scan sonar for real time, detection, localization and classification of bottom and moored mines at high area coverage rates and a laser line scanner to provide precision optical identification of underwater mines and other objects of interest.
The AN/AES-1 Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS) uses pulsed laser light and streak tube receivers housed in an external equipment pod to image the entire near-surface volume potentially containing mines. The ALMDS pod is mounted on the port weapon carrier and data is displayed on the cabin mission console.
The first AMCM configured is the eighth of 13 AW101s that Kawasaki Heavy Industries is building under licence from AgustaWestland for the Japan Maritime Defense Force. The eight aircraft delivered to date comprise six MCH-101s and two CH-101s. The CH-101s are used to support Japan’s Antarctic research activities. http://www.agustawestland.com | |

- Japan Maritime Self Defense Force to Commission DDH183 Izumo Helicopter Destroyer in April 2015
The Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) future helicopter carrier DDH138 Izumo will be commissioned on April 11 2015 in Yokosuka naval base according to a statement on the JMSDF website. Izumo will become the flagship of the JMSDF fleet and is the largest warship built by Japan since World War II. The 248-meter-long and 19,500-ton helicopter carrier was unveiled for the first time in August 2013 in Yokohama. The Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) future helicopter carrier DDH138 Izumo will be commissioned on April 11 2015 in Yokosuka naval base according to a statement on the JMSDF website. Izumo will become the flagship of the JMSDF fleet and is the largest warship built by Japan since World War II. The 248-meter-long and 19,500-ton helicopter carrier was unveiled for the first time in August 2013 in Yokohama. DDH183 Izumo is 248-meter-long and 19,500-ton. It is the largest warship built by Japan since World War II. Once commissioned, the ship will be able to accomodate nine helicopters. The ceremony took place with some 3,600 people, including the Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso.
According to the Japanese Ministry of Defense, the helicopter carrier is expected to play a key role both in defense of territorial sovereignty, in rescue missions, and in case of natural disasters.
Independent experts, however, believe that the warship, given its large size, could conceivably one day be used as a versatile aircraft carrier and serve as a platform to launch fighter aircraft capable of vertical takeoff (such the F-35B) http://www.navyrecognition.com | |

- Le Japon et les États-Unis adoptent de nouvelles « lignes directrices » pour leur coopération militaire
Posté dans Asie-Pacifique, Diplomatie par Laurent Lagneau Le 28-04-2015
Au vu de l’évolution du contexte géostratégique régional (et même mondial), avec l’affirmation de la puissance chinoise, l’affirmation toujours plus soutenues de revendications territoriales ou encore la menace balistique et nucléaire de la Corée du Nord, le Premier ministre japonais, Shinzo Abe, a fait part de son intention, en juillet 2014, de revoir l’article 9 de la Constitution pacifiste, adoptée au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale par le Japon, sous la pression américaine. Ce texte interdit à Tokyo de prendre part à des opérations de guerre à l’extérieur de ses frontières.
Cette nouvelle approche, qui, défendue depuis longtemps par Shinzo Abe, met désormais l’accent sur le principe « d’autodéfense collective » a été accueillie très favorablement par la France et les États-Unis. En effet, pour Washington, elle ouvre la voie une révision de son alliance militaire avec Tokyo.
Ainsi, le 27 avril, les ministres américains et japonais de la Défense et des Affaires étrangères, ont approuvé de nouvelles « lignes directrices » dans le domaine militaire, qui prendront en compte la possibilité des forces d’autodéfense nippones à intervenir si jamais un des pays alliés de l’archipel est attaqué.
Pour rappel, les deux pays sont liés par un traité de Défense qui obligie les États-Unis à défendre le Japon en cas d’attaqie. D’où la présence de 47.000 militaires américains dans l’archipel.
Selon un reponsable américain, ces nouvelles lignes directrices permettraient aux forces japonaises de prêter main forte à l’armée américaine en cas de menace exercée par un pays tiers ou bien encore de déployer des navires de lutte contre les mines au Moyen Orient.
Par exemple, le Japon pourrait détruire un missile balistique se dirigeant vers les États-Unis et passant à proximité de son territoire même s’il n’est pas directement visé.
En outre, il est question d’approfondir la coopération entre Tokyo et Washington dans les domaines du renseignement, de l’espace et de la cyberdéfense.
Cela étant, cette mise à jour de cette coopération militaire entre le Japon et les États-Unis devra être approuvée par les parlementaires des deux pays. Pour Shinzo Abo, elle rendra « l’alliance nippo-américaine plus efficace et plus forte ». Et, « en conséquence, la dissuasion se renforcera et la région n’en sera que plus stable », a-t-il ajouté.
Quoi qu’il en soit, le Japon cherche avant tout à contenir la Chine. C’est ainsi qu’il a récemment signé des accords de coopération navale avec les Philippines et le Vietnam, deux pays qui contestent la mainmise chinoise dans les archipels Spratleys et Paracel, en mer de Chine méridoniale.
Enfin, Tokyo a relancé son effort de défense, en portant ses dépenses militaires à un niveau record depuis la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, soit à 4.980 milliards de yen. Il s’agit ainsi de moderniser les capacités de ses forces d’autodéfense, avec l’entrée en service de l’imposant porte-hélicoptères Izumo, l’acquisition de moyens amphibies ou encore le renforcement des capacités antimissiles.

- Le Japon élargit les attributions de ses forces armées
21:22 14.05.2015
Tokyo envisage de modifier la Constitution du pays en autorisant les forces d'autodéfense japonaises à mener des opérations à l'étranger.
Le gouvernement de Shinzo Abe a approuvé une série de projets de loi autorisant les forces d'autodéfense japonaises à mener des opérations militaires à l'étranger. Ces textes seront prochainement soumis au parlement.
Il ne fait aucun doute qu'ils seront adoptés, car la coalition au pouvoir dispose de la majorité dans les deux chambres du législatif nippon.
Les nouvelles lois donneront à Tokyo le droit de recourir à la force "dans la mesure minimale nécessaire" en cas d'agression contre un pays avec lequel le Japon entretient des relations d'amitié. Ces pays ne sont pourtant pas spécifiés. Les textes lèvent également les restrictions géographiques pour l'utilisation des forces armées.
Cette initiative a immédiatement provoqué une vive réaction de Pékin. La porte-parole du ministère chinois des Affaires étrangères Hua Chunying a déclaré à cette occasion: "Nous avons averti à plusieurs reprises que pour des raisons historiques, les pays asiatiques voisins du Japon et toute la communauté internationale se devaient d'être extrêmement attentifs à toute modification de la politique japonaise de sécurité".
Selon la diplomate chinoise, Pékin espère que Tokyo retiendra les leçons de l'histoire et jouera un rôle plus constructif en vue de promouvoir la paix, la stabilité et le développement commun de toutes les nations asiatiques.
L'idée d'élargir les prérogatives et la zone d'action des forces d'autodéfense japonaises a également provoqué des protestations au sein de la société japonaise. Plusieurs centaines de personnes se sont réunis jeudi devant la chancellerie du premier ministre. L'un des manifestants, Junichi Kawazoe, a expliqué à Sputnik pourquoi de nombreux Japonais s'opposaient aux nouvelles lois sur l'armée.
"Le Japon — autrefois pays agressif — a tué beaucoup de gens. Conscients de ce fait, nous avons juré d'empêcher une nouvelle guerre. L'adoption de ces lois poussera le Japon vers de nouveaux conflits. Voici pourquoi nous nous y opposons. Nous envisageons de réunir un million de signatures qui constitueront une force capable de bloquer ces lois", a déclaré Junichi Kawazoe.

- Japanese P-1s to visit RIAT, Djibouti in first overseas trip
James Hardy, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly 07 July 2015
apan will send its Kawasaki P-1 maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) overseas for the first time later this month to conduct operational trials in Djibouti and take part in the UK's Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT).
Two Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) P-1s will leave Naval Air Facility Atsugi in Kanagawa Prefecture on 10 July and appear at RIAT at RAF Fairford from 17-19 July, the Japanese Ministry of Defense said on 7 July. A Japanese MoD official told IHS Jane's that one aircraft will be on static display and the other will fly at the airshow.
It is not the first time Japanese military aircraft have been to RIAT: KC-767 tanker transports visited in 2012 and 2014, although these were only part of the static display.
After RIAT the P-1s, which are from 51 Air Development Squadron, will head for Djibouti to allow testing and understanding of "the technical challenges when operating in tropical and desert areas", the MoD said.
Japan signed an agreement in 2010 to build a base near Ambouli International Airport in Djibouti that houses about 200 personnel and two Kawasaki-Lockheed P-3C Orion MPAs. Facilities include a barracks and a maintenance hangar for the JMSDF naval aviation personnel supporting the P-3C Orion in anti-piracy operations. The JMSDF plans to replace its fleet of about 80 P-3Cs with 65 P-1s.
The JMSDF received its first two P-1s in March 2013, after which they entered a two-year "operational test period" that included weapons testing before entering operational service.
The MoD initially set aside funds to buy P-1s at a rate or one or two a year, but in its most recent budget, for fiscal year 2015, the JMSDF received JPY350.4 billion to buy 20 P-1s in a bulk order intended to reduce unit costs.

- Japan parliamentary committee approved bill to allow country's troops to fight abroad
Published: Wednesday, 15 July 2015 09:18 A Japanese parliamentary committee approved legislation that would expand the role of Japan's military on Wednesday, July 15th, announced several local medias. The approved security bills would allow the country's troops to fight abroad, despite the opposition from the majority of ordinary residents.
Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe claimed that the bills are essential for Tokyo's new challenges in the region, such as China.
The unpopular legislation was crafted after Abe's Cabinet adopted a new security policy last year that reinterpreted a part of Japan's post-World War II constitution that only permitted the nation's military to use force for its self-defense. The bills in question would allow Japan to also defend aggression against its allies — a concept called collective self-defense.
Abe has argued that Japan should better prepare for China's regional threat and do more to contribute to international peacekeeping efforts.
In case of approving the initiative, that is currently being discussed in the parliament, Japan will be for the first time entitled to conduct warfare abroad since defeat in WWII.
But opponents, including legal experts and academics, counter that the new interpretation is unconstitutional. Moreover, over half of the population claim it won't serve the interests and national security of the country.

- US, Japan ink deal for first batch of V-22 tiltrotor planes
Japan has agreed to spend $332.5 million to buy an initial five V-22 tiltrotor planes built by Boeing Co and Bell Helicopter, finalizing the first international sale of the "Osprey" aircraft, the Pentagon announced on Tuesday.
Japan has agreed to spend $332.5 million to buy an initial five V-22 tiltrotor planes built by Boeing Co and Bell Helicopter, finalizing the first international sale of the “Osprey” aircraft, the Pentagon announced on Tuesday.
It was the first tranche of 17 V-22s and 40 engines built by Britain’s Rolls Royce Holdings Plc that Japan plans to buy in coming years for a total value of about $3 billion, according to a May congressional notification by the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).
At the time, DSCA said the proposed sale will help Japan modernize its transport fleet and enhance its ability to carry out humanitarian and disaster relief missions, and support amphibious operations.
Bell-Boeing, a strategic alliance between Textron Inc’s Bell Helicopter and Boeing, said the deal would give Japan access to a game-changing technology, offering the ability to get people and cargo to remote areas without an airstrip.
“The V-22 redefines what’s operationally possible for a country, and we’re looking forward to delivering this capability to Japan as we continue our enduring partnership there,” said Shelley Lavender, president of Boeing’s military aircraft division.
Mitch Snyder, executive vice president of Bell’s military business, said the Osprey offered “an unrivaled combination of speed, range, and payload.”
The United Arab Emirates and other countries are also looking at possible orders of six to 12 V-22 aircraft, which could add up to another 100 sales in coming years, industry executives told Reuters at the Paris Airshow last month.
First fielded by the U.S. Marine Corps in 2007, the aircraft has rapidly become one of the U.S. military’s most popular and sought after aircraft due to its long range and ability to carry out missions quickly and participate in humanitarian missions.
Foreign sales have been slower to materialize than initially expected, partly due to the relatively high price of the aircraft compared with helicopters.
The U.S. Navy’s decision to buy 44 V-22s to replace the aging C-2A fixed wing aircraft that now ferry people and supplies on board aircraft carriers will help extend production of the planes from 2020 to 2025.
Last month, Bell Helicopter President John Garrison said it was unclear if or when Israel would revisit plans to buy some V-22s after the deal was put on hold for budget reasons. http://www.financialexpress.com | |

Japan continues to modernize its fleet to support Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) roles and special mission requirements. The addition of two (2) new AEGIS DDGs will fulfill Japan’s mission goal of acquiring eight (8 ) ballistic missile defense capable ships and will further enhance interoperability with the U.S. Navy, build upon a longstanding cooperative effort with the United States, and provide enhanced capability with a valued partner in a geographic region of critical importance to Japan and the U.S. Government.
The proposed sale to Japan will represent an important commitment by the U.S. Government in furtherance of foreign policy and national security goals for both the United States and Japan. Japan is one of the major political and economic powers in East Asia and the Western Pacific and a key partner of the United States in ensuring peace and stability in that region. It is vital to the U.S. national interest to assist Japan in developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense capability. This proposed sale is consistent with U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives and the 1960 Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security.
The addition of two (2) new AEGIS DDGs to Japan’s fleet will afford more flexibility and capability to counter regional threats and continue to enhance stability in the region. Japan currently operates AEGIS ships and is proficient at using evolving ballistic missile defense capability and effective at employing the AN/SQQ-89 UWS for undersea surveillance and detection. Japan has demonstrated the capability and commitment necessary to incorporate CEC into its fleet and will capably assimilate this technology into its operations.
The proposed sale of these combat systems will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
The prime contractors will be Lockheed Martin, with offices based in Moorestown, NJ; Syracuse, NY; and Manassas, VA per sole source request from Japan as the primary AEGIS System Contractor for JFY 2015 and JFY 2016 DDG Class Ships. Japan has also requested Data Link Solutions, Cedar Rapids, IA be designated as the sole source prime contractor for the Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) on Ships (MOS) to reduce the cost of sparing and logistics for its AEGIS Ships. There are also a significant number of companies under contract with the U. S. Navy that will provide components and systems as well as engineering services during the execution of this effort.
Japanese industry has requested participation with U.S. industry as sub-contractors under the FMS case on a limited basis to provide selected components and software. Japanese industry sourced items are: 1) TR-343 Equivalent Replacement Sonar Transducers for SQS-53C sonar by NEC, 2) Partial AEGIS Display System application software by MHI, and 3) Partial AEGIS Display System Hardware and Common Display System hardware by Fujitsu. The Japan sourced products will be subject to product qualification, export control or other requirements for use in FMS-provided systems. The U.S. Navy retains the option to use U.S. Navy Programs of Record to source products or services as required to meet program requirements. There are no known offset agreements in connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require travel of U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Japan on a temporary basis for program technical support and management oversight.

- Japan to reach record defense budget of US$42 bn for FY2016
Japan is expected to seek a record defense budget of 5.2 trillion Yen, or about 42 billion US Dollars, for the fiscal year of 2016, revelead on August 9 local medias. This comes after three years of increased defense spending by the administration of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Japan's Kyodo news agency says the budget request will likely include 140 billion yen on US military realignment costs. The request is also expected to cover costs for the bulk purchase of 17 SH-60 helicopters, and manoeuvre combat vehicles. Abe's government adopted a new five-year Defense Program at the end of 2013.
Under the plan, Japan's defense spending is expected to rise by an average of 0.8 percent annually. The latest budget hike would come as Abe looks to overhaul the country's defense policy with new security bills.
Based on the program through fiscal 2018, Japan’s defense spending is expected to grow by an average of 0.8 percent annually.
China’s rise and the military threat posed by it has been the main trigger for the boosted defense spending, officials say.
The two Asian giants have been butting heads over the Japanese-controlled Senkaku Islands, which Beijing also claims and calls the Diaoyus, with Chinese ships and aircraft regularly testing the Japanese response.
In a Defense Ministry white paper issued last month, the ministry said it remains deeply concerned about China’s maritime ambitions in the region.
The report said Tokyo is paying particular attention to Beijing’s growing military assertiveness in the East and South China Sea, accusing it of “high-handed” actions to change the status quo by force.

- Lockheed Martin confirms sale of Sniper pod for Japanese F-2
James Hardy, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly 09 August 2015
Lockheed Martin has confirmed that it supplied one Lockheed Martin AN/AAQ-33 Sniper advanced targeting pod (ATP) to Japan for integration on a Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) Mitsubishi F-2 fighter combat aircraft in 2014.
The contract was for one Sniper pod, spares and support equipment for integration, and made the F-2 the eighth aircraft to be equipped with the system, the company said in a 10 August statement.
The Lockheed Martin statement added that it expected follow-on contracts to "include additional pods, spares, logistics, and support equipment for the F-2 fleet".
The Japanese Ministry of Defense (MoD) assigned JPY6.1 billion (USD49.1 million) to acquire an "onboard targeting pod" for a "trial upgrading" of an F-2 in its fiscal year 2014 (FY 2014) budget, adding that "several hundred million yen per unit is expected" to upgrade further aircraft.

- DSCA notification sheds light on next-gen Japanese destroyers
James Hardy, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly 11 August 2015
The 7 August notification by the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) of a possible USD1.5 billion sale of two Aegis combat systems and other naval equipment to Japan has provided new details on the two-ship class of ballistic missile defence (BMD) destroyers that Tokyo is building.
The destroyers, tentatively called the 27DDG class based on 2015 being the 27th year of the reign of the current Japanese emperor, were authorised in the fiscal year 2013 and FY 2014 budgets and were originally thought to be modified Akizuki-class hulls with an empty displacement of about 5,000 tonnes.
However, the DSCA notification describes them as featuring "a modified Atago-class hull" and propulsion system, while a graphic included in a request for proposals (RfP) released by the Japanese Ministry of Defense (MoD) to potential shipbuilders in July said that the new class will displace 8,200 tonnes (empty), compared with the Atago class's 7,700 tonnes.
The DSCA notification states they will feature the AEGIS Weapon System (AWS) MK 7, which includes the Lockheed Martin SPY-1D radar, and supporting systems; AN/SQQ-89 (V) 15 Underwater Surveillance and Communication System; Multi-Function Towed Array (MFTA) and associated OK-410(V)3/SQR handling equipment; MK 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS) and associated systems to support the Standard Missile 3 (SM-3) BMD system; and a number of other systems that are already fitted to the Atago class.
New systems not featured on the Atago class to be provided by the US include the Northrop Grumman AN/SPQ-9B X-band (NATO I-band) pulse-Doppler, frequency-agile fire control radar, which is also being installed on the Royal Australian Navy's Hobart-class air warfare destroyers.
According to the RfP released in July, the ships will also feature new anti-ship missiles and as previously reported will be the first JMSDF ships to be powered by a COGLAG configuration. The larger displacement of 8,200 tonnes may reflect plans for advanced weapon systems to be retrofitted to the class at a later date: MoD graphics in the fiscal year 2015 budget overview have suggested that electromagnetic railguns and laser-based short-range air defence systems are being developed.
