미해군과 일본 해상자위대가 전자공격 분야에서 긴밀히 협력

[위종민]

미해군과 해자대가 전자공격 분야에서 긴밀히 협력하기로 협정을 체결하고, 양군간 작전 및 훈련을 더 많이 실시하기로 했네요. 

미해군에선 EA-18G 그라울러, 해자대에서는 UP-3D 등의 자산이 이 이니셔티브에 참여한다고 합니다.

항공자산들만 거론됐고, 전자공격이라고 특정지은 걸로 봐서는 전자전 전분야가 아니라 항공전자전 분야 한정인가 보네요. SLQ-32를 해자대에 팔아서 수상함 분야도 포함인가 싶었는데.

USN, JMSDF squadrons to work more closely on electronic attack

By Greg Waldron10 December 2024

The US Navy (USN) has entered a pact with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) to collaborate more closely in the field of electronic attack.

The agreement will see more bilateral operations and training between electronic attack squadrons operated by the two forces, according to the USN’s 7th Fleet.

The USN’s VAQ-141 electronic attack squadron operates the EA-18G. It is forward deployed to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni as part of Carrier Air Wing 5

Aircraft involved in the initiative are USN Boeing EA-18G Growlers operating with Task Force 70, and Kawasaki UP-3D and other assets that serve with the JMSDF’s VQ-81 squadron.

“Today, we’re formalising our commitment to generate real warfighting advantage by increasing and enhancing our combined technology and expertise in the field of electronic warfare,” says USN Rear Admiral Greg Newkirk, commander of Task Force 70.

“Our work together moving forward will allow us to expand our shared air and maritime domain awareness, as well as refine and perfect our combined electronic attack capability.”

Task Force 70 controls forward deployed aircraft and ships for the 7th Fleet and includes a pair of electronic attack squadrons equipped with the EA-18G: VAQ-141 and VAQ-134.

VQ-81’s UP-3Ds – a locally-produced variant of the Lockheed P-3 Orion – are understood to have an electronic intelligence capability and are also used for electronic warfare (EW) training.

While VQ-81 has worked with the US military for some years, the agreement between the two militaries underlines Tokyo’s emphasis on improving its EW capabilites.

Tokyo is working on standoff EW versions of the Kawasaki P-1, a maritime patrol aircraft in service with the JMSDF, and the C-2, a large twin-engined tactical transport in service with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF).

The JMSDF’s EW-roled P-1 entered development this year, and this process is expected to be completed in 2033. The JASDF’s EW-roled C-2 is further along: development started in 2020, with a technological and operational test due in 2026, and the completion of development in 2027.

Moreover, the BAE Systems AN/ALQ-250 Eagle Passive Warning Survivability System is a major element in an upgrade programme for about 70 JASDF Mitsubishi F-15J fighters.

재밍포드에 들어가는 전기를 항공기 자체적으로 감당하기엔 무리였을 텐데 어쩌다 저렇게 설계를 한 건지 ㄷㄷㄷ
