政府计划在年底修订三项国家安全相关核心文件时，明确写明将强化所谓的拒止能力，以威慑潜在的入侵。
The government plans to clearly state that it will strengthen what are known as denial capabilities to deter potential invasions when revising its three key national security-related documents at the end of the year.
政府打算将强化拒止能力定位为加强日本防御能力的核心理念，旨在让对手相信，入侵将给他们造成重大损失。
The government intends to position the enhancement of denial capabilities as a key principle of strengthening Japan’s defense capabilities, aiming to convince adversaries that an invasion would inflict significant damage on them.
政府还将在平时强化防卫装备的生产体系，以确保发生紧急情况时能够持续作战，并主张为强化拒止能力，必须推进日本防御能力的转型。
It will also seek to bolster production systems for defense equipment during peacetime in order to ensure sustained operations in the event of a contingency, arguing that a transformation of Japan’s defense capabilities is necessary to strengthen its denial capabilities.
修订后的文件预计还将涉及人工智能和无人机等“新型作战方式”。
The revised documents are also expected to address “new ways of warfare” involving artificial intelligence and drones.
政府周三在自民党总部举行的执政党自民党国防部会与安全保障调查会联席会议上提出了上述计划。
The government presented the plans to a joint meeting of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party’s National Defense Division and Research Commission on Security, held at the party’s headquarters on Wednesday.
防卫省向自民党议员解释说，拒止能力是指阻止对手实现目标、从而威慑其入侵日本的能力。
The Defense Ministry explained to LDP members that denial capabilities refer to the ability to prevent an adversary from achieving its objectives and thereby deter an invasion of Japan.
具体而言，政府将着力强化防区外防御能力，包括使用射程更远的导弹从对手射程之外打击目标；同时还将强化无人装备防御能力，即使用大量无人机攻击敌方舰艇。
Specifically, the government will seek to enhance its standoff defense capabilities, which include using longer-range missiles to strike targets from outside an adversary’s range, as well as its unmanned asset defense capabilities, which involve attacking enemy vessels with large numbers of drones.
政府还将利用卫星和无人机加强情报收集、预警与监视，以迅速应对敌方入侵。
It will also strengthen intelligence gathering, warning and surveillance using satellites and drones to respond swiftly to enemy incursions.
为提高防卫装备品生产能力，政府计划引入一项制度，即生产设施由政府所有，但由民营企业运营。政府还将向民营企业提供资金支持，以建立能够在紧急情况下迅速扩大防卫装备品（包括弹药和无人机）产量的生产体系。
To boost defense equipment production, the government plans to introduce a system under which production facilities would be owned by the government but operated by private-sector companies. It will also provide financial support to private companies to establish production systems capable of rapidly ramping up output of defense equipment, including ammunition and drones, in emergencies.
日本还将寻求从盟友和志同道合的国家采购防卫装备品，以应对突发事态。
Japan will also seek to procure defense equipment from allies and like-minded countries to prepare for contingencies.
政府表示，将利用人工智能分析无人机和卫星收集的海量数据，以实现更快的决策和对突发事态的迅速应对。
The government said that AI will be used to analyze vast amounts of data collected by drones and satellites to enable faster decision-making and swift responses to contingencies.
为支持这些措施，政府将致力于确保足够的自卫队员额，以应对严重的人员短缺。正在考虑的措施包括延长自卫队员的退休年龄和重新审视其薪酬结构。
To support these measures, the government will work to secure enough Self-Defense Forces personnel amid serious staffing shortages. Steps under consideration include extending the retirement age for SDF personnel and reviewing their pay structure.
