Establish R&D partnerships for cutting-edge defence technologies through joint ventures, exemplified by the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) involving Japan, the UK, and Italy.

TRAINING AND CAPACITY BUILDING

TRAINING AND CAPACITY BUILDING

The Japan MOD requires specialised training programmes in advanced cyber defence, electronic warfare, operational tactics, and equipment maintenance.

Additionally, the Japan MOD requires advanced simulation and training systems to enhance operational readiness, highlighted by the Air Defence Command Comprehensive Training exercises utilising extensive simulation systems.

DEFENCE EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLY CHAIN SUPPORT

DEFENCE EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLY CHAIN SUPPORT

The Japan MOD requires assistance with integration into its defence supply chain, ensuring high-quality components and timely delivery for operational readiness, as seen in procurement programmes for F-35A/B fighters and Tomahawk missiles.

Japan MOD requires maintenance, repair, and upgrade services for existing equipment, including long-term support and technical expertise, as seen by Performance-Based Logistics (PBL) contracts for maintaining ship gas turbine engines.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

The Japan MOD requires public-private personnel exchange programmes to transfer best practices and innovative approaches, leveraging external expertise to enhance internal capabilities.

Partnerships with educational institutions are essential to develop future defence engineers and technologists, particularly through cyber education programmes that improve digital literacy and advanced cybersecurity skills among SDF personnel.

JOINT EXERCISES AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT

JOINT EXERCISES AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT

The Japan MOD needs participation in multinational exercises like "Keen Sword" and "Keen Edge" with the US to enhance interoperability and joint operational capabilities.

Additionally, providing operational expertise and advisory services is essential for refining Japan's defence strategies and operational doctrines.

CYBERSECURITY AND INFORMATION SECURITY

CYBERSECURITY AND INFORMATION SECURITY

The Japan MOD needs advanced cybersecurity solutions, including real-time threat monitoring and response services. 

Collaboration on information-sharing initiatives is crucial to enhance threat intelligence and situational awareness, as demonstrated by strengthening international partnerships through cyber dialogues and training exercises.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D)

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D)

The Japan MOD seeks collaboration on R&D initiatives for advanced defence technologies like hypersonic weapons, high-energy lasers, and unmanned systems, crucial for maintaining technological superiority.

Supporting Japan's efforts to enhance its technological base through joint research projects and funding is vital, exemplified by investments in early deployment of upgraded Type-12 surface-to-ship missiles and Hyper Velocity Gliding Projectiles (HVGP).
