Nihon Keizai Shimbun (November 9)
The Nikkei Shimbun reported in its morning edition that ’Mitsubishi Electric will supply equipment to the U.S. military.’
Jointly developed with a major US aviation defense company:
The power supply unit, which is a core product for ship radars, will be delivered to the RTX.
This is the first time that the company has delivered key components for defense equipment for the U.S. military.
What is the aim?
“SPY-6” power supply:
“SPY-6” is a new radar installed on U.S. Navy missile destroyers and aircraft carriers.
RTX plans to procure power supplies for the SPY-6 from Mitsubishi Electric.
The scale of “SPY-6” will reach 3.2 billion dollars (480 billion yen).
What is “SPY-6” radar:
In 2022, RTX received an order from the US Navy for a new radar “SPY-6”.
1. Produced SPY-6 for up to 31 ships in 5 years.
2. Detects the movement of missiles and aircraft over a wider area than before.
3. It would become the U.S. Navy’s primary radar for decades.
Mitsubishi increases production capacity:
Mitsubishi Electric is the main vendor of radar development and manufacturing for Japanese Self-Defense Force ships.
In June of this year, the Japanese government announced its intention to expand defense spending.
Mitsubishi’s defense business reinforcement measures:
Increase production capacity for radar systems, guided missiles, and artificial satellites.
1. Invested 70 billion yen in four locations including Amagasaki City and Kamakura City.
2. Plans to increase 1,000 people in the defense and space systems business.
Australian Ministry of Defence:
In October, we signed a contract with the Australian Ministry of Defense for joint development of defense equipment.
Philippine Air Force:
In November, we delivered a warning and control radar to the Philippine Air Force.
This time, by gaining a proven track record for the U.S. military, it will increase its credibility in the international defense market.
This is also a tailwind for developing global markets, especially in Asia.
