Japan is showing interest in acquiring the Israeli drone Heron-2, which is manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). The Japanese military is considering this possibility as part of the diversification of its arms purchases, which have traditionally been mainly carried out from the United States. Recently, a Heron-2 drone with Israeli registration and Kawasaki Heavy Industries designations was spotted at one of the Japanese airports, indicating that cooperation between Kawasaki and IAI on this project has already begun.
Such a partnership allows Japan to integrate Israeli developments into its defense system, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries is likely to act as a local partner in the maintenance, modification or production of components for the Heron-2 in Japan. This paves the way for the expansion of the capabilities of the Japanese Air Force and other security agencies in the field of intelligence and surveillance using modern unmanned systems.
