-The Ground Self-Defense Force is referring to the formation of the United States Army's troops from the background of its formation, and that tendency was particularly pronounced until the 1970s.
-Due to the fact that the US Army has the strongest air force in the world, anti-aircraft equipment in the Army was poor compared to other countries, and there were very few opportunities for anti-aircraft combat during actual wars and conflicts.
-For this reason, anti-aircraft equipment is not so important even in the Ground Self-Defense Force, it was only equipped with an anti-aircraft missile [Hawk] for medium range and an anti-aircraft machine gun [Oerlikon L-90] for short range. ..
-It seems that this is also the result of considering the US military aircraft force based on the Japan-US Security Treaty.
-However, from a geological perspective during the Cold War, Japan was at the forefront after South Korea, and northern regions such as Hokkaido were within the range of Soviet military aircraft.
-In addition, the combat helicopter that appeared in the 1970s is a threat to the ground forces, and the helicopter that spies out in a god was a difficult enemy that only fighters could not deal with.
-Therefore, the Ground Self-Defense Force has decided to review the conventional equipment system and enhance anti-aircraft equipment.
-[Type 81 short-range surface-to-air missile] is a short-range surface-to-air missile that was developed in the latter half of the 1960s under such a background, and was instituted in 1981.
-This [Type 81 short-range surface-to-air guided missile] is a pair of a [launcher] with a modified base of [73 type heavy truck] and a [shooting control device] with similar detection and tracking It is a system that acts as a and becomes the main force of anti-aircraft equipment for unit air defense.
-However, due to the rapid development of electronic devices since then, the Ground Self-Defense Force started to improve [Type 81 short-range ground-to-air guided missile] in 1989, and combined infrared/visible light image homing method light wave bullets and active radio wave homing. [Type 81 short-range surface-to-air guided missile (C)] that uses two types of radio missiles of the method appeared in 1995, whereas the conventional type was commonly called [short SAM], but this improvement The type is called [Short SAM Kai].
-Also, in 1999, the [73 type heavy truck] that was used as a car body was fully remodeled, the troops were deployed as [3 1/2t truck (new model)], and [81 type short distance surface-to-air guidance] The same type has appeared as the base vehicle for the bullet (C).
