South Korea, the United States and Japan officially launched the "North Korean Missile Warning Information Real-time Sharing System" on Tuesday (December 19) to achieve real-time sharing and coordinated response to North Korea's missile launch intelligence.

South Korea's Ministry of National Defense said that after prior testing, it has confirmed that the system has full combat capability. The cooperation aims to detect and assess the North Korean missile threat in real time, ensure national safety, and enhance related capabilities.

Prior to this, the heads of state of South Korea, the United States and Japan reached an agreement at the Camp David summit in August this year to launch a real-time sharing system for North Korea's missile early warning information by the end of the year to more effectively respond to the nuclear and missile threat from North Korea. At the defense ministers' meeting of South Korea, the United States and Japan in November, the three sides conducted a final verification of the system.

The information shared through the system mainly includes the estimated launch point, flight trajectory, and expected landing location of the North Korean missile, but does not include precursor information such as signs before the missile launch, as well as information such as the type and location of the South Korean side to detect and track assets.

South Korean Defense Minister Shin Won-hyun said while participating in a TV program on the 18th that in the past, it was limited to sharing maritime detection means, but now all missile intelligence detection means, including the ground, can be shared around the clock, so as to obtain more adequate response time.

In addition, South Korea, the United States and Japan have formulated a trilateral long-term training plan that will be implemented from 2024 to conduct more systematic and efficient training on a regular basis.
