Japan—AEGIS WEAPON SYSTEM
UPGRADE
The Government of Japan has
requested a possible sale for the upgrade
of previously provided AEGIS Combat
Systems as part of the modernization of
two ATAGO Class Ships (DDG–177
ATAGO and DDG–178 ASHIGARA)
with Integrated Air Missile Defense
capability. The modifications/
replacements consist of the following
components: J6 AEGIS Weapon System
Computer Program, 2 Multi-Mission
Signal Processors for existing AN/SPY–
1D(V) radar, 2 Common Processor
Systems, 2 ship sets Common Display
Systems (44 OJ–827(V)1 Tri Screen
Display Consoles, 8 Display Processor
Cabinets, 2 Video Wall Screen and
Projector Systems, 46 Flat Panel
Displays, and 2 Distributed Video
Systems), 2 ship sets AN/SPQ–15
Digital Video Distribution Systems, 2

equipment, tools and test equipment,
technical data and publications,
personnel training and training
equipment, U.S. Government and
contractor engineering, technical, and
logistics support services, and other
related elements of logistics support.
The estimated cost is $421 million.
Japan is one of the major political and
economic powers in East Asia and the
Western Pacific and a key ally of the
United States in ensuring the peace and
stability of this region. The U.S.
Government shares bases and facilities
in Japan. This proposed sale is
consistent with U.S. objectives and with
the 1960 Treaty of Mutual Cooperation
and Security.
The proposed sale of AEGIS
components to Japan will contribute to
U.S. security objectives by providing a
significantly improved Air Warfare
capability. This sale will enhance
Japan’s Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD)
capabilities by modernizing and
upgrading the AEGIS technology on its
two Atago-class destroyers. The
Government of Japan can easily
integrate the capabilities of these
upgraded AEGIS Weapon Systems into
its concept of operations. Japan will
have no difficulty absorbing these
systems into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be
Lockheed Martin MS2 in Mooretown,
New Jersey. There are no known offset
agreements proposed in connection
with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require multiple trips to Japan
involving six U.S. Government and ten
contractor representatives for technical
reviews/support, programs
management, and training over a period
of three years.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. AEGIS Weapon System (AWS)
hardware is Unclassified. The software,
documentation, combat system training,
and technical services/documentation
will be provided up to and including
Secret. Access to the manuals and
technical documents is limited to those
for whom the manuals and documents
are necessary for operational use and
organizational maintenance. AWS
Baseline 9 requires modernization of the
installed AEGIS combat system
hardware to include Common Display
System, Common Processing System,
and Multi-Mission Signal Processor and
is Unclassified.
2. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of
the specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
to develop countermeasures which
might reduce weapon system
effectiveness or be used in the
development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.
