Japan’s Maritime Self-Defense Force plans a historic March 2026 restructuring, replacing the Fleet Escort Force with a Fleet Surface Force and consolidating four escort flotillas into three surface warfare groups. A new Information Warfare/Operations Command will integrate intelligence, cyber, and related functions to strengthen cross-domain decision-making without significant increases in ships or personnel.
The source reports that Pakistan’s SUPARCO has accelerated satellite launches in 2025 and is preparing for its first astronaut mission to China’s Tiangong station in late 2026, signaling a renewed national space posture. The most consequential development is the HS-1 hyperspectral satellite, which could strengthen climate and agricultural decision-making while also expanding defense-relevant surveillance and regional crisis dynamics.
Reporting indicates the United States and Taiwan are preparing a Joint Firepower Cooperation Center to improve coordination, targeting, and asymmetric air and maritime defense ahead of a potential high-intensity contingency. The initiative appears to pair training and operational integration with industrial steps in Taiwan to support munitions testing and unmanned systems supply chains.
Open-source reporting indicates the United States and Taiwan are developing a Joint Firepower Cooperation Center to improve asymmetric air and maritime defense through better coordination, training, and potential integration of U.S.-linked capabilities. The initiative appears aligned to a 2027 planning horizon and emphasizes air denial, ISR improvements, and industrial enablement while maintaining ambiguity on troop presence and operational details.
Taiwan says it is monitoring what it calls abnormal changes in China’s military leadership after Beijing announced investigations into CMC Vice Chairman Zhang Youxia and senior officer Liu Zhenli. Taipei indicates it will sustain high readiness and expand ISR and intelligence-sharing to assess whether internal shifts could affect China’s posture toward Taiwan.
