The USV is being manufactured by Japan Marine United (JMU) Defense Systems, a Japanese defense company (subsidiary of local shipbuilder JMU). It will be installed on JMSDF’s newest vessel, the Mogami-class FFM (multi-mission frigate). The USV will be operated in conjunction with the OZZ-5 Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI). The OZZ-5 will launch from the Mogami-class with the USV and follow a pre-planned route to search the sea area where the existence of mines is estimated.
The role of the USV is to run alongside the surface of the ocean on top of the OZZ-5, acquire data captured by the OZZ-5’s sonar in real time via sound waves, and transmit this data to the Mogami class via radio communication. These acquired underwater data will be processed on board the Mogami class to confirm the existence of mines. And if mines are found, USVs will carry out minesweeping. USVs tow tools that mimic the sound and magnetism produced by naval vessels to blow up mines, or tow wire cutters to cut the mooring cables of mines and bring them to the surface.The USV is also capable of carrying an Expendable Mine Disposal (EMD) in the center of the hull, which can be used to remotely detonate mines.
The first three Mogami-class frigates have been launched so far ( with one of them just starting sea trials ). The frigates won’t feature the USVs yet when they are commissioned with the JMSDF. Instead, they will initially only come with the OZZ-5s. However, Japan’s defense budget for FY2022 will include funding for the procurement of these USVs, and their introduction is expected to proceed gradually.

Kumano (くまの」named after the Kumano river in the Kii Peninsula of central Japan, located in Nara, Wakayama and Mie Prefectures) was launched by local shipbuilder Mitsui E & S Shipbuilding Co., Ltd in Okayama in November 2020 . The vessel is actually the second ship in the class: FFM #1 known as Mogami (もがみ) was launched in March this year. Naval News’ Japanese contributor, Yoshihiro Inaba, attended the launch ceremony in Nagasaki . The third vessel in the class, Noshiro (のしろ), was launched by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) in Nagasaki in June.
During her launch, it was announced that Kumano would be delivered to the JMSDF by the end of 2021. Naval News is trying to confirm this information with Mitsui E&S.
The Mogami-class / 30FFM (also known as FFM and previously known as 30DX) is the next generation multi-mission frigate designed for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). A total number of 22 Frigates are expected to be procured for the JMSDF.
The two shipyards in charge of building the first two frigates of the class are Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) in Nagasaki and Mitsui E&S in Okayama.
According to MHI, the 30FFM multi-mission frigate will have a full load displacement of about 5,500 tons, with a length of 132.5 meters and a beam of 16.3 meters. It will have a maximum speed in excess of 30 knots. The crew complement will be quite low, at about 90 sailors, indicating a high level of automation on board.
The 30FFM will be equipped with a wide variety of weapons and systems as listed below.
