The 2024 budget for the year starting April represents an increase of about 17% from the previous year's spending of 6.6 trillion yen. It includes over 200 billion yen to strengthen cyber capability as well as funding to start building ballistic missile defence warships with Aegis combat systems, the defence ministry said, estimating the cost per vessel at about 400 billion yen.
