As per May 15 statements from both the U.S. Missile Defense Agency and Japan’s Defense Ministry, the United States and Japan signed a cooperative agreement to jointly a hypersonic missile defense capability.
The interceptor will be designed to neutralize hypersonic threats in the glide phase of flight.
The project was initially agreed between Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and U.S. President Joe Biden at their summit last August and reaffirmed between the leaders during Kishida’s April visit to Washington.
