The Japanese government is preparing to implement a project to develop a new long-range cruise missile. The primary objective of this system is to enable the launch of a large number of projectiles to deplete the opponent's stockpiles of interceptor missiles. According to preliminary data, work on designing the land-based variant of the missile may begin as early as next financial year.
A key feature of the future weapon will be the integration of civilian components, which will significantly reduce production costs. As noted, cheaper cameras are planned to be used instead of expensive military sensors, and the weight of the warhead will be reduced. This approach will lead to a decrease in accuracy and destructive power, but will make the missile significantly more affordable to produce.
The concept of application envisages mass launches to overload the enemy's air defence systems. Some missiles will be shot down, causing the expenditure of the opponent's interceptors. This will increase the chances of subsequent missiles reaching their target.
The new development is intended to complement the Type 25 anti-ship missiles and American Tomahawks already in Japan's arsenal. For a cost comparison: one Tomahawk missile costs approximately 400 million yen (equivalent to 2.54 million US dollars). The new Japanese weapon is to be significantly cheaper than this figure.
Development is planned to be completed by the end of the 2029 financial year. Full-scale serial production may begin as early as 2030. The system developer will be selected through a competition.
