The decision on the export will be announced early next month during the yet to take place security talks between the defence and foreign ministers of the respective countries.
SM-3 interceptors have been designed to track and engage intermediate-range ballistic missiles, and are fired from warships equipped with the Aegis air defence system.
The US plans to begin deploying the advanced version of the SM-3 system for the European missile defence shield in 2018, according to the Japan Times.
