Answer: Missile interception
Notes: Amid concerns over rivals' hypersonic missiles, Japan invests in the Glide Phase Interceptor (GPI) Project with the US. The GPI is a missile-intercepting system to counter hypersonic threats. By 2032, full operational capability is targeted. Hypersonic weapons travel at over five times the speed of sound, posing challenges for traditional defenses. The project aims to intercept them during the glide phase, utilizing modified missiles launched from warships for regional defense against hypersonic threats.
