weapon and equipment

I chose the weapon and equipment that I take an interest in.

Japan Ground Self Defence Force

9mm Handgun : The commanders who is higher than a company commander, the gunners of anti tank firearms and the member of a tank carry this for self defence. Recently, regular member have carried this too. This gun is selected for them by several companies uncommonly. This gun can charge 10 bullets at one time.

81mm mortar L16 : This mortar is adopted in not only Japan but also each countries. The parts of this morear is made of aluminium alloy to improve the firing range and lighten weight. It is easy to take to pieces and carry this.

87 style Anti tank guided missile : This is the first missile which is adopted the way to guid by laser in missiles made in Japan. This is small and light so member can carry easily and shoot on shoulder.

Against cannon rader JTPS-P16 : The field military unit mainly equips this rader. This is equipped on 7t truck to move easily and can evaluate many shells and missiles in big area. And not only so, this is used to guide their shoot.

Japan Maritime Self Defence Force

machine gun of 54 calibres and 127 millimeters : This is equepped on Aegis escort warship and so on, and this inside is perfectly unmanned and light and shoots automatically. This can load three different kinds of shells.

Anti ship or aircraft harpoon : This is launched from warship, moves upward by rocket boosters, removes that, flies close to sea surface by turbojet engine and dash into the target. This harpoon's hit probability is 95%.

Anti water rader OPS-28 : This rader is equipped on relatively new escort warship. This can detect the objects not only on the sea surface but also in the sea. The form of this antenna is parabolic cylinder.

Equipment of detecting and interfering electric wave : This, after prediction and analy of the electric wave coming, differentiates that, evaluates threat, make a record, and show these results. If that electric wave is the rader of missile guidance, this equipment produces the electric wave that interfered with that electric wave and heads off the attack of anti warship missile.

Machine of disposaling underwater mines S-7 type1 : The squad member's detecting the object like mine, this machine checks by supersonic waves and TV camera and disposal that by deverse ways depending in the specie of mine if they make a judgment on that object as underwater mine.

Japan Air Self Defence Force

Ground to air guided missile “patriot” PAC-3 : This is the latest “patriot”. By comparison to before version, the deameter of missile changed from 41 cm to 25 cm and the weight changed from 900 kg to 320 kg too. Thanks to that change, the number of loading missile changed from 4 to 16. This was deployed in various places of Japan when North Korea started experiment of ballistic missile in 2009.

Air to air missile with infrared homing device AIM-9L “sidewinder” : This is the latest air to air missile and relatively light so this is loaded by mortal power. By the way, weight is about 80 kg so loading is not easy by mortal power.
