In Peace prepare for hostilities & perhaps ultimately war. Japan is doing just that, & I don't blame them as the Japanese face an aggressive & unpredictable North Korea.

Sure launching from the SSB ? or an underwater launcher.

When it comes to North Korea US Navy tracks their subs with nuclear powered subs. Just in case you haven't known that yet. It was pretty neatly presented in yesterday's article from Chosun Ilbo, a South Korean newspaper which added that South Korean conventional subs don't do that. US Navy subs wait for them just outside of the territorial waters and stand still until the NK sub will move. I don't know if they do that on regular basis or just when there are signs of such thing as missile launch. Then they track them down and follow. The depth of the Sea of Japan makes it a pretty easy task for US Navy as North Korea seriously lacks in the domain of ASW of any kind.

Th US or the Japanese could shoot these missiles down...and you can bet they track every single one with orders, if the flight profile looks anything like an attack profile to do just that.

If not, they gather data and intel on them and let them fall harmlessly into the sea.

The Minister for Defence, Senator the Hon Marise Payne, today (25 August) met with her newly appointed Japanese counterpart, Ms Tomomi Inada, Minister of Defense.

During their meeting, the Ministers affirmed the mutual significance of the Australia-Japan defence relationship. Ministers outlined their respective policy priorities for bilateral defence engagement, including measures to enhance cooperation and engagement between the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the Australian Defence Force.

Ministers also discussed regional security challenges and expressed concerns over maritime disputes in the South China Sea. Both Ministers expressed strong opposition to any coercive unilateral actions that could alter the status quo and increase tensions, and urged all states to refrain from large-scale land reclamation, the construction of outposts and the use of those outposts for military purposes. The Ministers also encouraged all parties to resolve disputes in accordance with international law and called on China and the Philippines to abide by the Arbitral Tribunal’s Award of 12 July 2016 in the Philippines-China arbitration, which is final and legally binding. The Ministers expressed their opposition to coercive unilateral actions in the East China Sea that could alter the status quo and increase tensions.

The Ministers strongly condemned North Korea’s nuclear test in January 2016 and its subsequent ballistic missile launches, which were conducted in violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions.
The Ministers committed to work together to explore new opportunities to strengthen bilateral defence cooperation, and emphasised the regional importance of trilateral defence and security cooperation with the United States.

“Australia and Japan are close defence and security partners,” Minister Payne said.
“I was pleased to visit Japan to meet Minister Inada, and confirm the importance of our bilateral defence relationship. I look forward to working with Minister Inada to further broaden and deepen our strong defence partnership.”

During her visit to Japan, Minister Payne also met with a number of Japanese Parliamentarians including Chief Cabinet Secretary, Yoshihide Suga, a key member of Prime Minister Abe’s Cabinet. At these meetings, the Minister praised the strength of Australia-Japan defence cooperation and welcomed the release of Japan’s 2016 Defence White Paper on 2 August 2016.

Minister Payne said she looked forward to visiting Japan again soon for the annual 2+2 Meeting of Foreign and Defence Ministers.

In Japan Minister of Defence gives an order to shoot down a BM coming towards Japanese territory after getting acknowledgement from Prime Minister. After that SDF Joint Staff decides on the method of shooting it down. The order is valid for a longer span of time than just launch. It's more like a month or so, until which it gets's cancelled or renewed.

thanks ... I would be curious also about the tactical level (who calls an Atago-class destroyer on watch and says, 'heat up the launcher with an SM-3 ASAP and tell me once you're ready', not an exact quote LOL

No one since the DDG had been given an direct order of destruct and destroy from the PM.
The Captain of the ship has full authority (& full responsibility) to exercise on their own will to evaluate and shoot once he had been given the green lights.
Relax, it's not as if he has keys to nukes.
