原文:

 Japan's Defense Ministry is showcasing 13 domestic companies at the Singapore Airshow, among its largest industrial contingent outside the country after the government relaxed post-war arms export in 2014.

 Japanese companies have for decades focused on supplying the Japan Self-Defense Forces, but a shift in the country's security policy has opened the local defense industry to the global market. Japan has since exported radars to the Philippines, and entered a fighter jet development program with the United Kingdom and Italy.

 Japanese exhibits at the Singapore Airshow showcased a range of systems already in use by its armed forces, including transport aircraft, helicopters, aerospace parts, semiconductors, radars, and geostationary satellites.

 "There is a lot of opportunity for Japanese companies to inter into the global market, but the problem with Japanese companies is they have no experience like foreign companies," Hideki Fukawa, director for defense equipment cooperation planning with the ministry's Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Agency, told Defense News. "We want to take this opportunity to showcase Japanese superiority in defense.

 Among the products on display here are a portable radar made by IT and electronics specialist NEC Corp. Japan's forces use the technology to monitor aircraft incursions in the airspace of Kyushu and Okinawa.

 日本防衛省率領13家國內企業參加新加坡航空展,這是自2014年日本放寬戰後武器出口限制後,赴國外參展的最大工業代表隊。

 數十年來,日本企業供應的對象都以自衛隊為主,不過由於安全政策的改變,開啟了國內國防工業對全球市場的銷售管道。迄今日本已出口雷達給菲律賓,並參與英國和義大利的戰機合作研發計畫。

 日本在新加坡航空展的參展項目,為自衛隊使用中的系列產品,包括運輸機、直升機、航太零組件、半導體、雷達和地球同步衛星。

 防衛省「科技獲得後勤局」下轄的「軍備計畫合作室」主任深川英樹受訪時表示:「日本企業有許多進入全球市場的機會,只是欠缺外國公司所擁有的經驗。我們願意利用此次航空展機會,展現日本國防的優勢。」

 參展產品中,有一款「便攜式雷達」,由專精人工智慧和電子的日本NEC電氣公司所生產。日本自衛隊目前使用該雷達偵測入侵九州和沖繩空域的飛機。
