NIKE J was the name for the Japanese version of the Nike Hercules surface-to-air missile. It was produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries [1] . First test firings of the missile occurred in November 1970. The Nike J was also a different version of the usual Nike Hercules, in that way, that it could not be mated with a special (nuclear) warhead.
