TOKYO, Japan - According to local sources, the Japanese government is in informal talks with the Philippines regarding the potential export of the Self-Defense Forces' Type 03 Medium-Range Surface-to-Air Missile (Medium SAM). The government aims to make an official decision by mid-next year and, if approved, will promptly begin discussions on exports.

The current guidelines, under Japan’s Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment, allow exports only for rescue, transportation, alert, surveillance, and minesweeping purposes. However, the ruling coalition has agreed to eliminate these limitations by 2026. The Japanese National Security Council, led by Prime Minister Takaichi, will decide on the revision.

TAUFKIRCHEN, De. -- Hensoldt delivered the final tranche of components to the German Armed Forces as part of the regeneration of the Distributed Deployment Server Platform (DSE) that began in September last year.

Transport and operating containers, including the associated power and climate control modules and basic segment equipment, were delivered.

The Distributed Deployment Server Platform is a modular, scalable, and deployable system. The system is designed for data processing in any client-server infrastructure of the German Armed Forces and can operate in a networked system as well as in stand-alone mode (offline). Depending on the mission purpose, the system can also be adapted with additional software.
