The Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) are a technologically advanced military with sophisticated ground, maritime, air, missile-defense, space, and cyber capabilities. Once focused primarily on defending Japanese territory, the JSDF have become a more mobile and flexible force capable of operating across multiple domains. Japan is increasing defense spending and developing new capabilities, including long-range counterstrike missiles and drones, while strengthening its ability to operate jointly with the United States.
