摘要

内容提要:本文探讨了日本对导弹预警卫星的追求,以及这为美日太空安全伙伴关系带来的机遇。 主要论点近年来,日本已采取措施开发自己的导弹预警卫星。开发天基导弹预警系统是一项具有挑战性的壮举,既复杂又昂贵,只有少数几个国家在运行此类系统就是明证。鉴于美国已经与日本共享了部分导弹预警信息,东京对自身卫星的追求至少在一定程度上反映了日本正在努力实现更加独立的能力。然而,这种努力不应被理解为突然的或脱离其长期盟友的转变。相反,它代表了(1)获取导弹预警卫星的潜在历史努力的延续,以及(2)对技术发展的回应,这些技术发展使潜在的敌对导弹系统更具威胁性,使开发导弹预警卫星更加可行。日本对导弹预警卫星的追求符合其作为防卫大国和美日安全关系贡献者的广泛加速度。这也为两个盟国之间更广泛的合作提供了一个令人信服的机会。 政策影响--日本对天基导弹预警系统以及更广泛的利用天基技术减轻导弹威胁的兴趣由来已久。即使日本不会很快获得这些资产,是否获得这些资产仍将是其国防辩论的核心问题。- 日本在开发天基导弹预警系统的同时,美国也在开发自己的下一代导弹预警能力,这为两国加强合作提供了机会。在这些资产上的合作可以节省资金,并使联盟有可能开发出保护更好、能力更强的导弹预警架构。

Space-Based Missile Warning: An Opportunity to Deepen U.S.-Japan Security Cooperation
executive summary: This article explores Japan's pursuit of missile-warning satellites and the opportunity this presents for the U.S.-Japanese security partnership in space. main argumentIn recent years, Japan has taken steps toward developing its own missile-warning satellites. Developing a space-based missile-warning system is a challenging feat, one that is complex and expensive, evidenced by the fact that only a few countries operate such systems. Given that the U.S. already shares some missile-warning information with Japan, Tokyo's pursuit of its own satellites reflects, at least in part, the country's push toward achieving a more independent capability. However, this push should not be construed as sudden or a shift away from its longtime ally. Rather, it represents (1) a continuation of latent historical efforts to acquire missile-warning satellites, and (2) a response to technological developments that have made potential adversarial missile systems more threatening and developing missile-warning satellites more feasible. Japan's pursuit of missile-warning satellites fits within the country's broader acceleration as a defense power and contributor to the U.S.-Japan security relationship. It also presents a compelling opportunity for more extensive collaboration between the two allies. policy implications• Japan has had a long-standing interest in space-based missile-warning systems and more broadly in mitigating missile threats using space-based technologies. Even if Japan does not acquire these assets soon, the issue of whether to acquire them will continue to be central to its defense debate. • Japan's development of a space-based missile-warning system, alongside the U.S.'s development of its own next-generation missile-warning capabilities, could offer opportunities for heightened collaboration between the two countries. Partnering on these assets could lead to financial savings and the potential for the alliance to develop a better protected and more capable missile-warning architecture.
