Japan is increasing defense spending to 43 trillion yen over five years, 1.6 times the previous amount. The defense industry, which is responsible for producing equipment, sees this as an opportunity.
The government is actively encouraging new entry into the defense field, and some companies are actually considering it. Mitsubishi Electric is a major electronics manufacturer that plays a part in the defense industry. The company is strengthening its defense equipment production system and is focusing on production not only for the Self-Defense Forces but also for overseas markets.
