国産初、超音速の空対艦ミサイルを来年度導入へ

"First domestic production, to introduce a supersonic air-to-ship missile next fiscal year"


2018年度の概算要求に数億円の調達費を計上し、量産体制に入る。国産の空対艦ミサイルとしては初の超音速で、迎撃されにくいのが特長だ。東シナ海などで強引な活動が目立つ中国海軍をけん制する狙いがある。

 導入済みの国産の空対艦ミサイルには、音速に近い「80式」と「93式」があるが、新型は飛行速度が93式の約3倍のマッハ3程度と、飛躍的に速くなる。速度の面では、海外の同種の最新鋭ミサイルと肩を並べる。

 目標に命中するまでの時間が大幅に短くなるうえ、レーダーに捉えられにくい海面近くを低空飛行することもできるため、敵の艦船はミサイルを迎撃しにくい。射程も93式(百数十キロ・メートル)より長くなるという。
"The procurement costs of several hundred million yen are posted in the estimate request for FY 2018, and the mass production system is entered. It is the first supersonic speed as a domestic air-to-ship missile, which is characterized by being hard to intercept. There is an aim to check the Chinese Navy where stern activities are prominent in the East China Sea.

The domestically produced air-to-ship missile that has already been introduced has "80 type" and "93 type" close to the sound speed, but the new model has a dramatically faster speed of about 3 times the flight speed of 93 type than the 93 type . In terms of speed, we line up with the same kind of state-of-the-art missiles abroad.

The time to hit the target is greatly shortened, and enemy ships are less likely to intercept missiles because they can fly at low altitude near the sea surface that can not be caught by the radar. It is said that the range will be longer than 93 (hundreds of kilometers)."

It seems like XASM3 hits the targets at least. Ex-Shirane went out from Maizuru on July 11th like this...

...and came back like this on July 20th

With the money request for the next fiscal year of the 'new air-to-surface missile' that Yomiuri wrote about I think that this live fire test was the last step in acceptance process.

I see nothing ?

XASM-3
Japan planning to equip F-2 fighters with supersonic air-to-ship missile, says report

Tokyo plans to start equipping Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) F-2 fighter aircraft with a new supersonic air-to-ship missile from the next fiscal year, according to a 19 July report by The Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper.

The paper quoted unnamed sources as saying that the Japanese government will allocate several hundred million yen in a budgetary request for fiscal year 2018/19 to mass produce the missile, which is still under development.

According to the media report, the new missile will travel significantly faster than domestically built radar-guided Type 80 (ASM-1) and Type 93 (ASM-2) anti-ship missiles, thus making it more difficult for enemy ships to intercept it.
