国産レーダー、比に輸出　完成装備品で初―防衛省

　河野太郎防衛相は２８日の記者会見で、戦闘機やミサイルを探知するレーダー４基の輸出について、三菱電機とフィリピン国防省との間で契約が成立したと発表した。国産装備の完成品輸出は、政府が２０１４年に武器輸出基準として「防衛装備移転三原則」を閣議決定後初めて。河野氏は「さまざまな国と防衛協力が進み、日本の防衛産業の足腰強化にもなる」と述べた。
　対象となるのは、固定式警戒管制レーダー「ＦＰＳ３」３基と移動式対空レーダー「ＴＰＳＰ１４」１基。受注総額は約１億ドル（約１００億円）。（2020/08/28-12:08）

Japan's Mitsubishi Electric Corp. has concluded a contract with the Philippines' Department of National Defense to ship four air defense radars to the Southeast Asian country, Japanese Defense Minister Taro Kono said Friday.
   It will be the first case of Japanese-made completed defense equipment being exported under the country's new principles on defense equipment transfer, adopted in 2014.
   Exports of such equipment "will help promote Japan's defense cooperation with various countries and make the Japanese defense industry robust," Kono told a press conference.
   Three units of the FPS-3 fixed radar and a unit of the TPS-P14 mobile radar will be delivered to the Philippines, with the value of orders totaling some 100 million dollars, or about 10 billion yen. The radars can detect and track missiles and aircraft.
   Exporting the defense equipment to the Philippines fit with the Japanese government's vision for a free open Indo-Pacific region, Kono said, adding that the Philippines is a country located on an extremely important sea lane.
