DNYUZ/New York Times: U.S. and Japan Say They Will Strengthen Military Cooperation
WASHINGTON — U.S. and Japanese officials said on Wednesday that the two nations would expand their military cooperation, including improving Japan’s missile strike capabilities and making the U.S. Marine unit in that country more flexible for potential combat.
The changes come as both nations perceive greater threatening behavior from China and North Korea, as well as Russia. Those three countries have decades-long partnerships that they have recently affirmed in various settings, despite many nations’ condemnation of Russia over its war in Ukraine.

"The changes come as both nations perceive greater threatening behavior from China and North Korea, as well as Russia. "
Let me add the growing alliance and military cooperation between Japan And USA is because of numerous and long time threats from China,, North Korea, Russia.
And yet again critics will view this as fueling the conflict in the region.
The sun is rising again, good for Japan
Japan has to become a major naval power again. On those ships and boats long range missiles with moving target sensors are essential.
I bet they'd be great at the tech.
