Japan, South Korea to connect radar system via US

Japan Self-Defense Forces soldiers guard a Patriot air defense system.

The idea would allow the US to act as a liaison between the systems of the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF), the South Korean military and US troops stationed in the two countries. At that time, the parties could share online data such as the location, speed and flight path of North Korean missiles.

South Korea currently has a radar network near the inter-Korean demilitarized zone, which can effectively track low-altitude missiles. Meanwhile, the JSDF mobilizes ships equipped with the Aegis air defense system, which has the advantage of tracking submarine-launched missiles. At the summit in November 2022, Japan and South Korea agreed to share missile warning data online. The leaders of the US, Japan and South Korea are expected to discuss specifically the connection of the radar system when they meet on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Japan from May 19-21.
