Japan's AI-Driven Defense Systems: A Countermeasure Against China's Military-Civilian Fusion Plan

Published on 6.11.25

  The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into military defense systems is a rapidly evolving trend among major world powers, driven by the need to counter emerging threats and enhance national security. Japan's recent announcement of guidelines for AI-controlled defense systems marks another significant step in this direction. In response to China's military-civilian fusion plan, which aims to integrate technology from both sectors to modernize its military by 2035, Japan is seeking to strengthen its own national security capabilities. The Japanese Defense Ministry has established guidelines for the expansion of AI-controlled defense systems, with a focus on unmanned combat-support drones and ships. Japan's Defense Minister Gen Nakatani announced the new guidelines during a press conference in Tokyo, outlining the framework for integrating AI into various defense systems. This move is part of Japan's efforts to modernize its military capabilities and counter emerging threats from China. NATO is also integrating new technologies and combat methods in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but this information is not directly related to the article title "AI Bolsters Global Military Capabilities" and has been removed.
