Japan Aegis BMD (JFTM-1) Stellar Kiji Quicklook

Narrative on the first successful intercept of a medium range ballistic missiles (MRBM) by an allied Navy ship. The JS Kongo (DDG-173) successfully detected, tracked and engaged the "separating" target launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) with the Aegis BMD weapon system, firing the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Blk IA missile for a successful intercepts outside the earth's atmosphere. JFTM-1 was the first time that a Japanese ship was designated to launch the interceptor missile, a major milestone in the growing cooperation

wow this is a cool system ;)

is it possible to shoot down planes with it or only rockets?

[AegisBMD]

The SM-3 was designed to intercept targets in the exoatmosphere. Other variants of the Standard Missile such as the SM-2 are currently used against endoatmospheric targets such as planes, drones, and cruise missiles.

@innpressTV fuck japan usa is so much better like how could you even say that

[AyanokoujiMiwa]

Japan is on the edge now. There are just a few Japanese who know this event because most of mas media have not reported this, due to superb Chinese and Korean spy works. Many Chinese nuclear missiles are aimed at Japanese major cities but Japanese majority does not pay any attention because of above reason. Accepting Chinese pacification work will endanger your country. Please remember!

@misterbonzai08 AEGIS is an ENTIRE combat system. AEGIS BMD is a later development that involves the SM-3 and software that allows the interception of ballistic missiles et cetera.

The Aegis combat system includes just about everything else on the ship - weapons systems, sensors, et cetera.

Rio de Janeiro. I'm glad that the Japanese government and Navy have to ensure the security of its territory from the danger of missiles in Korea. Also welcome the cooperation with the Navy and Department of Defense USA. I hope to extend the alliance that allowed their country and have a minimum of security against the communist psychopaths. Happiness and security to the Japanese people

[SayokoHatsuya]

@misterbonzai08 AEGIS is an entire combat and defense system. They basically comprise the whole damn ship and its sensor complement and armament for those so equipped.

[misterbonzai08]

@SayokoHatsuya I thought the US AEGIS was a gatling gun style system as opposed to a ballistic missile interceptor. Don't get me wrong, Japan is the first country I would choose to defend but when you make a bigger shield your enemy will try to make a bigger sword.

[SayokoHatsuya]

@misterbonzai08 "Here comes another"? You imply that it's going to happen because of AEGIS /BMD/.

Let's read that out - ballistic missile DEFENSE.

So fine then, maybe you didn't mean that, maybe you mean the AEGIS combat system in general triggering another arms race.

Oh wait, the US has had AEGIS since like... the 80's.

Let's just not, yeah?

[misterbonzai08]

Here comes another arms race...

This is from the "STAR WARS" program! I thought it was canceled :|

[kakttat]
