Japan: Defense Agency Wants $1.12 Billion For Missile Defense Wary of an attack from North Korea, Japanese defense leaders want to spend $1.12 billion on missile defense in the next fiscal year, the Associated Press reported today (see GSN, Aug. 19). The Japanese Defense Agency request is set to be submitted next Friday. The funding would be almost nine times the amount of money Tokyo spent on missile defense research from 1999 to 2003. A large amount of the money would be put toward acquiring new missiles, including hundreds of millions of dollars for Standard Missile 3 interceptors (Natalie Pearson, Associated Press, Aug. 22).
