The First Royal Navy Aircraft Carrier Deployment to the Indo-Pacific
NIDS Commentary No. 146 The first Royal Navy aircraft carrier deployment to the Indo-Pacific since 2013: Reminiscent of an untold story of Japan-UK defence cooperation NAGANUMA Kazumi, Planning and Management Division, Planning and Administration Department No. 146, 3 January 2021 Introduction: Anticipating the UK’s theatre-wide commitment to the Indo-Pacific in 2021 On 5 December, it was reported that the UK Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth would deploy to the Indo-Pacific region in early 2021 and conduct training with Japan and the US.1 It is the first time in the eight years since the disaster relief operations for the Philippines affected by typhoon in November 2013, that a Royal Navy aircraft carrier will deploy to the region. It is highly possible that the UK would clarify its theatre-wide commitment to the Indo-Pacific through the deployment of a brand-new aircraft carrier. According to a previous study on the UK’s military involvement in the region, for example, in Southeast Asia, “the development of security from 2010 to 2015 is limited” and “in reality, they conducted a patchy dispatch of their vessels when required for humanitarian assistance and search and rescue”.2 However, the study overlooked that in the context of disaster relief and search and rescue of missing aircrafts, considerably substantial defence cooperation has been already promoted between Japan and the UK, resulting in a huge impact on Japan’s defense policy. Coincidently, the year of 2021 is also the 100th anniversary of the Washington Conference which decided to renounce the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, so it will be a good opportunity to look at Japan-UK defence cooperation.3 The Japan-UK Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) came into effect on 1 January 2021. -

MDAA Region Brief: Europe Summer 2016 Addressing the Air and Ballistic Missile Threat to Europe: Cooperating in a Shifting Strategic Environment Introduction Next month’s Warsaw Summit could prove to be one of the most consequential for the alliance since the end of the Cold War as leaders from member states convene to discuss a myriad of threats. NATO Summits are convened on an ad-hoc basis, as required by the evolving political and security situation. In recent years, summit locations have held some thematic significance. This year’s summit in Warsaw is indicative of the increasing threat the alliance faces from the east, particularly in regards to the air challenge. The proliferation of ballistic missile technology also continues to demand the attention of NATO members. In May of this year, two key milestones were achieved in the deployment of European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) capabilities, the plan put in place by the Obama Administration to protect Europe from a ballistic missile attack originating from Iran. On May 12 Phase II of the EPAA, the Aegis Ashore site in Deveselu, Romania, was deemed operationally certified. The following day on May 13, a groundbreaking ceremony took place for Phase III of the EPAA, an Aegis Ashore site in Redzikowo, Poland. When the work in Poland is complete, Phase 3 will provide the necessary capabilities to provide ballistic missile defense coverage of all NATO European territory and populations in the 2018 timeframe against intermediate-range ballistic missiles. Defending the air above NATO member states also remains a challenge, particularly from an increasingly modern Russian military. -

Press Release
Press Release 5th February 2009 FURTHER test firing success for ROYAL NAVY’S SEA VIPER AIR DEFENCE SYSTEM Sea Viper, the Royal Navy’s new advanced naval air defence system, was successfully test fired for a second time on 4th February from the trials barge Longbow at the French DGA’s CELM (Centre d’Essais de Lancement des Missiles ) test range near the Ile du Levant off the French coast. The successful firing marks a further key step in the demonstration of the maturity of the Sea Viper system, known until recently in the UK as PAAMS (S), in the lead up to the missile system entering service onboard the Royal Navy’s new Daring class Type 45 destroyers. The trial comprised the firing of a single Aster 15 missile launched against a Mirach target simulating a low level attack by an anti-ship missile. All aspects of the system behaved as expected with the Aster missile intercepting the target at very close range. Nick Neale, PAAMS Project Director in the Aster Systems Programme directorate, said: “Following on from the successful first firing in June last year, this second firing success kicks off our 2009 programme of work in the best possible way. We look forward with pride to completing the remainder of the system qualification programme and to the entry of the system into service on board the RN’s new Type 45 destroyers”. Antoine Bouvier, MBDA’s CEO, said: “This second successful firing is another important milestone for PAAMS and MBDA’s Aster missile system family. It provides a clear demonstration of the performance leap that the PAAMS system will bring when it enters service.” All the Sea Viper system elements have been set to work on the first of class Type 45, HMS Daring.
