However, he always comes home for long vacationsI've made zero progress in my research during summer vacation. So, | looked up at the sky, and prayed for good ideas.

I vaguely know about it! JSDF uses satellites to gather information and perform communication. “Satellites” are very important “assets” of JSDF. “Assets” mean valuable tools here.Therefore, JSDF is now trying to protect “outer space” where satellites operate. Protecting outer space? What does that mean? Here, look at this trash! Nowadays, trash is one of the hottest topics around the world. Actually, ‘space debris,” which is trash, floats in outer space.Let me use You often hear on the news, “A satellite was launched." Space debris includes coating of a rocket that peels off during a launch, fragments of old satellites, and tools or gloves which astronauts leave behind during spacewalks. | had no idea there is a trash problem in outer space,Look at this. Outer space is borderless. Outer space has infinite _ possibilities when satellites are used in it! Therefore, nations around the world are eager to use outer space with satellites. Asa result, outer space is now jammed up with space debris. Really! Space debris could hit B something. Sounds scary! Space debris Circling the earth at an approx. speed of 7 km/s." Even a small fragment could cause major damage. *Approx. nine times faster than max. speed of an F-15J fighter @. -@ Correct! In outer space, this space debris that | explained moves at a really fast speed. Ifit hits a satellite, there would be severe damage.What else are they doing? Space Domain Mission Unit? Ground, Maritime, and Air Self-Defense Forces and Monitors outer space! ri ; i T To deal with the problem, I JSDF will establish a “Mission Unit of Space Domain” that follows the | Very cool! JSDF is involved in not only space debris, but also other space- related issues. For the safe use of outer space, JSDF needs to cooperate with various parties to solve the space debris problem!Satellites used by Japan could be attacked. They could be attacked by anti- ——| satellite missiles, which are also called anti-satellite weapons, killer satellites, L or even laser weapons. It's very important to protect satellites from such weapons!Oh, no. It would be terrible if an attack like that happened. You're right. Therefore, JSDF is building a monitoring system. to accurately capture information on the state of outer space around the earth! JSDF is pretty amazing! They really are cool!Relevant Japanese authorities are not the only ones which the monitoring system will cooperate with. The system will cooperate with systems of US forces, too. Yes! Now | Ly, Monitoring debris and killer satellites, feel a sense of , which might be attempting an attack, familiarity with with cooperation between allied nations, outer space. > Eh, just now you said, “It’s too far away and unrealistic!” This will allow satellites to fully demonstrate their abilities, won't it?Satellites are related to weather forecasts that we check every day, to Internet communication through the use of PCs or smartphones, to satellite broadcasting, to GPS for location information of aircrafts and ships! Thinking that G way, outer space is so closely related to daily Satellites can fulfill their abilities once outer space is protected. Oh, it's happeningThe Wi-Fi is so loften talk weak here, with my these weak I just bought a new smartphone---Sometimes there's a weak signal.

By the way, do you know “Electric Warfare”? "Electric Warfare”?Warfare that uses electromagnetic spectrum is known as “Electric Warfare”. Now, major countries including Japan are paying close attention to this. The electromagnetic spectrum scares me because it's invisible.Not worked The effective use on the radar. of electromagnetic spectrum is said to bring advantages to military forces engaged in a battle. For example, there are “electronic attacks”. Emitting electromagnetic spectrum onto an opponent's communication equipment and radars can disrupt the opponent's use of the electromagnetic spectrum used by the enemy, Not worked on the radar.In addition, emitting electromagnetic spectrum is said to disturb opponent's missile attacks.Episode 3: By the way, since | ee KIN ys watched a . * assy video, Are you talking i wv about a cyber y something has \ been wrong with my PC.

Professional education is also available at the National Defense Acaclery where | am studying. As cyber related units were recently established, many cyber specialists are needed. In addition to the education, JSDF cooperates with other countries including the US and UK and exchange opinions with cyber specialists in those countries to improve each other's skills.
