JDA

Probably old news.
The JDA official site at
http://www.jda.go.jp/j/info/hyouka/18/jizen/
has a list of 2006 “prior business evaluations”.
For example, item 10 is “a study of a passive-type radio-wave guidance method” missile that guides itself to the target aircraft, by passively seeking the various electronic signals emitted by said target aircraft.
Sounds like the old concept of anti-radiation missiles against AWACS, IMO.
