Next-Generation Energy Sources Urged for Submarines in Japan
Japan's Defense Buildup: Expanding Overseas Equipment Transfers and Submarine Development
Japan's Defense Buildup Committee has made significant recommendations to enhance the country's defense capabilities, including expanding the scope of its overseas defense equipment transfers and developing new submarine technologies.
The panel, headed by Sadayuki Sakakibara, has urged the Japanese government to promote defense equipment transfers to other countries. However, the recommendations do not explicitly state the types of defense equipment to be transferred or the specific systems to be used in the submarines.
One of the panel's key suggestions is the development of new submarine propelling systems for long-distance underwater travel. The experts envision systems powered by all-solid-state batteries or fuel cells for the Japanese submarines.
The panel also proposes giving priority to constructing submarines with vertical missile launch systems. This recommendation is in addition to the suggestions about submarines armed with long-range missiles.
The panel believes that increasing public understanding is crucial for expanding the scope of Japan's defense equipment exports. They emphasize the need to expand the scope of these exports, but do not explicitly state that nuclear power is the recommended option for the submarine's power system.
Some people familiar with the matter suggest that nuclear power could be an inferred option for the submarine's power system. However, the panel's report does not explicitly state this.
The defense buildup panel's recommendations include beefing up Japan's defense capabilities with submarines. They believe that these Japanese submarines, equipped with advanced technologies, would improve Japan's deterrence and response capabilities.
The report was submitted to Defense Minister Gen Nakatani, and it remains to be seen how these recommendations will be implemented. It is clear, however, that Japan is considering significant advancements in its defense capabilities, particularly in the realm of submarine technology.
