| Source measurement | — | The Type 12 surface-to-ship missile (12式地対艦誘導弾) is a truck-mounted anti-ship missile developed by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 2012. It is an upgrade of the Type 88 surface-to-ship missile . The Type 12 features INS with mid-course GPS guidance and better precision due to enhanced Terrain Contour Matching and target discrimination capabilities. The weapon is networked, where initial and mid-course targeting can be provided by other platforms, and has shorter reload times, reduced lifecycle costs, and a range of 124 mi (108 nmi; 200 km).[source]Type 12 surface-to-ship missile · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The ship-launched derivative of Type 12, designated as Type 17 ship-to-ship missile (SSM-2) has been put into service and it is to start deploying from Maya -class destroyer . The range has doubled to 400 kilometers and is also planning to re-apply for the improved version of the surface-to-ship system ( Type 12 Kai ) and the air-launched variant for the P-1 patrol aircraft. Procurement of the air-launched variant of the missile will begin in FY2025 as the Type 23 air-to-ship missile .[source]Type 12 surface-to-ship missile · Type 17 ship-to-ship missile, Type 12 Kai and Type 23 air-to-ship missile; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage In December 2020, the MoD approved the development of an improved version of the Type 12 SSM by the Cabinet. According to Japanese newspapers, the range will be extended from 200 km to 900 km, with a future target of 1,500 km. It will have a stealthy shape to reduce Radar Cross Section (RCS) , and high mobility to prevent interception from the enemy.[source]Type 12 surface-to-ship missile · Type 25 surface-to-ship missile; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage On 31 March 2026, the Ministry of Defense announced that the ground-launched system had been designated the Type 25 Surface-to-Ship Missile and had been deployed at Kengun Base. Its range is reported to be approximately 1,000 kilometers. The ship-launched and air-launched variants are scheduled to be designated and deployed in fiscal year 2027.[source]Type 12 surface-to-ship missile · Type 25 surface-to-ship missile; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
