@Nihonjin1051 Good news 
Japan’s Coast Guard has selected the Dassault Falcon 2000 Maritime Surveillance Aircraft (MSA) to fulfil a patrol requirement.
A statement from Dassault says that the type was selected following a competition, but does not state the number of aircraft involved.
Dassault’s partners in the deal include L-3 Platform Integration and Thales.
Flightglobal’s Ascend Fleets database shows the Japan Coast Guard as operating four business jets, all optimised for the maritime surveillance role. These comprise two Falcon 900s and two GulfstreamVs.
The two Falcon 900s were originally ordered by electronics company Sony, and handed over to the Coast Guard in 1989. The two Gulfstream Vs were delivered in 2002, but only entered service in 2005 after undergoing conversion work.
Overall, the Japan Coast Guard operates 89 aircraft, mostly helicopters.
Japan Coast Guard orders Falcon 2000 MSA - 4/22/2015 - Flight Global
The Falcon 2000 MSA, based on a Falcon 2000 LXS (range 4000 NM), is designed for a broad range of missions including maritime surveillance, piracy control, drug interdiction, fishery patrol, law enforcement, search and rescue, intelligence and reconnaissance. It offers the best combination of size, payload, speed, range and acquisition and operating costs on the market.
By acquiring modern and efficient new maritime surveillance mid size jets, JCG will be equipped with a highly capable and cost effective platform developed with our partners L-3 Platform Integration and THALES.
Dassault Aviation will also provide the JCG with comprehensive maintenance support capabilities allowing the JCG to achieve a high level of aircraft availability. These support capabilities will enable the aircraft to efficiently meet the demanding operational requirements of the JCG.
