> tanaka said the defense ministry would consider deploying the patriot missile defense system and egis equipped destroyers for the task. tanaka added the minister will take measures to protect the japanese territory. there is a great deal of speculation about the timing of the north korean announcement. for more insight, we spoke with an associate professor at japan's national graduate student for policy studies, or grips. >> one possibility is that as the north koreans suggest, the launch is to mark the 100th anniversary of kim il-sung's birth. the timing of the missile launch is quite interesting from the military technological point of view. north korea has launched a missile twice in the past in 2006 and 2009. so there has been a three-year interval in the past missile tests. so if the missile is launched again in 2012, it would be consistent with this pattern. another thing that we are interested in seeing is whether the missile will have new features. the missile launched in 2009 had some similarities in terms of shape with an iranian missile. so we will see what they will show u

the egis radars, the target overflies the radar. the target doesn't see them. this is the main role for the infrared system. if i overlay a kelvin contour and put this in the black sea off the coast of romania, i get good three dimensional coverage over europe. it is this sensor that provides this track for information for me to consummate my engagements. okay. let me talk a bit about the defended area. this is one way to look at if the system is effective or not. can you defend an area as large as europe with the handful of interceptor sites. these are calculations i did at stanford some months back. i want to introduce three concepts which are important to the phased adaptive system. it is rarely talked about in the newspaper. it is quite easy to misunderstand it. there are several modes. one is stand alone operation where the radar that is associated with the interceptor carries out all of the tracking, guidance and communicates to the interceptor. stand alone operation. launch on remote is a mode where -- actually, i can show you here. i'll show you some ma
