The Japanese Navy is designing a new generation of layered air-defence and information warfare destroyers. It will take concept elements from the Asahi-class (25DD) destroyer and the Mogami-class (30FFM) frigate. It is expected to be compact and stealthy as the 30FFM and as combat capable as the 25DD. It is planned for the early 2030s.
