5 Aug 94 Morning Edition p 1
[Text] On 4 August, the Defense Agency [DA] decided to include an outlay for examining the "theater missile defense" (TMD) system project in its budget request for FY 1995. The United States has been asking Japan to participate in the project. This is the first time that the DA has demanded a budget outlay for the TMD project. The amount is expected to be between 2 million-3 million yen and 20 million-30 million yen. The TMD project is aimed at establishing an air defense system under which incoming ballistic missiles would be detected by a satellite and shot down by surface-to-air missiles.
