A Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IIA is launched from the JS Maya as part of the first live-fire demonstration of Japan Flight Test Mission-07 (JFTM-07). This two-week missile defense event demonstrated successful engagement against a medium-range ballistic missile. The JS Maya tracked and fired on the target, successfully destroying it. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA), in cooperation with the U.S. Navy, held JFTM-07 at the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kauai, Hawaii. The SM-3 Block IIA interceptor operates as part of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system and can be launched from Aegis-equipped ships or Aegis Ashore sites.
