US-Japan Bilateral Intelligence Analysis Cell MQ-9

The US-Japan Bilateral Intelligence Analysis Cell (BIAC) at Yokota AB, Japan, functions to jointly analyze and process information gathered from assets of both countries in support of mutual security and cooperation. The BIAC will support informed decision making by defense leaders of both countries and will increase real-time information sharing capabilities between the Self Defense-Forces (SDF) and the US military to support security cooperation.

The standing up of the BIAC marks the first real time information sharing capability between the JSDF and U.S. Forces.
