According to this, 2 prototypes of the ASM-3 Improved have been finished, and will be tested in this month, August 2026 !
Can’t wait to get more info about it :D.
I think I’ll try to make a suggestion about it, following my ASM-3A one.

a bid solicitation from ATLA’s Gifu Test Center was posted around March 2, 2026 and was procuring flight-test support services specifically for performance verification testing (launch testing) of ASM-3 (Kai), for fiscal year Reiwa 7 (which runs through March 2026, but the launch campaign itself extends into the following months).

From today’s post:

Is this an error, or by MFD they also mean radar screens? If so, does anyone have any info how it could look like - can’t find any images on the net.
Plus fingers crossed that they use this opportunity to finally correct the f-1 cockpit itself…

Edit. Ok did some more research and apparently it’s supposed to be similar to radar on british phantoms but you can still correct me if I’m wrong
