Sensors
All the sensors aboard the destroyer were integrated into a "Kamitate" ("Divine Shield") - an integrated fire control system containing multiple sensors, being roughly a Nifonese equivalent of US AEGIS.
- Type 220 Model 3 4D Air Search Radar" is a key component of the "Divine Shield" complex. It is an AESA /X/S-band (IEEE) radar being roughly an equivalent to AN/SPY-6. it is composed of four antennas. The search is conducted via 12 electronically stabilised receiving beams. The system automatically tracks and categorises the targets. It is also capable of Doppler processing. The design provides high ECCM capabilities. The system is capable of tracking 1000 airborne targets at once, detecting enemy aircraft at up to 400 kilometers, and detecting ballistic missile launches from 2000 km away.
- Type 241 Model 4 Surface Search Radar is composed of an active radar mounted at the front and a passive radar mounted at the back. In active mode this system operates in five different frequency ranges (I,E,F,G and D NATO bands). Maximum detection range is 250 km (450 in passive mode), with ability to detect low flying cruise missiles at 30 km. Up to 50 targets (30 in active mode) can be tracked at one while exchanging data with 10 others vessels.
- Type 250 Model 1 Air Search Radar is an L-band (IEEE) 3D radar designed to complement Type 220. It is capable of detecting targets up to 350km away and rotates at 6 RPM. Use of a low - level band ensures maximum efficiency against stealth targets, which are usually optimised against X band. The radar can track 500 targets at once.
- 3x Type 115 Model 4 Fire Control Radar is a fire control radar operating in I and J bands. This radar provides continuous illumination for weapon system it is linked to. It is capable of illuminating a target up to 300km away against a high flying target.
- Type 012 Navigation Radar is an I band pulse only navigation radar with low probability of intercept with maximum reach of 90 km.
- Washi Wa-18 Electro optical system contains an integrated EU, IR, laser rangefinder and designator all combined to be able to be operated by a single operator. The system is capable of operating automatically, intelligently auto-adjusts for threat evaluation and weapons adjustment. It is capable of spotting targets at maximum range of 50km and designating targets via laser at 8km.
- Type 91 Bow-Mounted Sonar is a medium frequency active / passive sonar capable of detecting targets up to 70 km away.
- Type 80 Towed Array Sonar is a long cable full of microphones towed behind the destroyer. It is capable of detecting targets 120km away.
Countermeasures
- Washi A-16 is a mortar-style countermeasures launcher designed to launch decoy and chaff. It is composed of 6 130mm mortar tubes in parallel rows. Each launcher holds from 12 to 36 rounds, depending on type and size. Four sets in total have been installed.
Current ammunition option include:
* V21 Active Aecoy Round
* V18 Floating Decoy
* V71 Chaff Round
* V19 TALOS Flare
- Washi ESR is an integrated ESM and electronic warfare suite. The system is capable of intercepting signals from as far as 900 km away (deepening on power/frequency) and providing defensive electronic warfare capability by jamming radars of attacking missiles.
- Washi T-16 is a towed anti-torpedo countermeasure. The towed system contains acoustics projector connected to the warship via a cable. The system detects the torpedo's ping frequency and amplifies it 2-3 times, aiming to lure the weapon away from the ship.
- 2x Type 113 CIWS is a close in weapons system built around seven barrel 31x167mm gattling gun. The gun is gas operated allowing it theoretical rate of fire of 6 000 rounds per minute, but can be programmed to fire in 1 000, 2 000 or 4 000 rpm mode. Maximum firing range is 5 kilometres. Each CIWS contains two ammunition boxes with 1200 rounds. The system has it's own fire control radar capable of engaging targets up to 15km away as well as an electro-optical system with a laser rangefinder.
Armaments
- The destroyer is equipped with 96 "Kin" VLS cells, 48 at the bow, 48 at the stern.
First introduced in 2001, "Kin" VLS system comes in four variants, the largest of which - Kin 4 - is employed on this destroyer. The system comes in 8 - cell modules, each module weighting 12 tons. Maximum length of accepted missile is 7 meters, and each cell has 56 x 56 cm diameter. A hot launch method is used with exhaust gases being released via uptake hatch. Up to eight missiles can be launched within 10 seconds.
- Eight Type 2010 missiles are stored in containers mid-ship. Those missiles are not sold as part of the package, and can be replaced by a different model at client's request.
- Six "Tsurihito" lightweight torpedoes have been installed. Tsurihito is a 325mm torpedo weighting 300 kilograms with length of 2.9 meters. It is capable of engaging targets from 10 to 25 km away depending on speed, and targetting submerged objects up to one kilometer underwater. It is powered by an electric pump jet, and capable of "silent" running. Respondible for destroying the enemy is 35 kilograms shaped charge warhead designed to penetrate titanium/double hulls of communist submarines. Maximum speed is 50 knots. Target is acquired via active / passive acoustinc hoping. Advanced electronics allow discrimination below actual and perceived threats, decoys and f anechoic coatings. On client's demand another model of torpedo can be installed.
- At the bow of the destroyer is a single Arakawa Type 1975 Model 3 Naval Gun. With a diameter of 118mm and length of 55 callibers, this new gun is capable of delivering 118x700mm shells up to 30 kilometres away at rate of 25 rpm. The gun features no crew inside the turret, the loading is carried out via crew below the deck, which loads ammunition onto a ring, which then passes it into the turret. This weapon can also engage aerial targets.
- Two Arakwa 21x149mm autocannons have mounted for defense against boarding and fast attack craft. Each of those autocannons is manually aimed and capable of delivering 1000 round/min. 600 rounds are carried.
- Six general purpose machine guns located all over the ship.
- Two hangars for medium sized ASW helicopters at the stern.
