Government Plans Emergency Readiness Amid Global Tensions
The Japanese government is planning to expand its defense equipment production capabilities to ensure wartime sustainment. The plan involves introducing government-owned, contractor-operated systems and providing financial support to private companies. The goal is to establish a system that can rapidly increase production during emergencies. The move comes as the importance of sustaining military operations over the long term has become increasingly apparent, particularly in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
