Hitachi contributes to create a safer society through technology.
We are developing diversified systems with the various technologies in the Hitachi Group.

In the Defense Systems Division, based on our core technologies for defense and aerospace and security, we use technology cultivated in defense projects and Hitachi’s digital solutions technology to contribute to the creation of a safe and livable society where individuals are protected from different circumstances.

• Based on our core technologies for the defense, aerospace and security, we contribute to create a safer society.

  For many years now, the Defense Systems Division has been developing technologies and gaining experience in defense projects that contribute to the safety of society.
  Exploiting these technologies and experience, we will expand the range of security to cover the whole social infrastructure including cyberspace, and enhance our business with a global perspective.
  Today, we are facing numerous problems on a global scale such as cyber-attacks, terrorism, large scale disasters.
  The Defense Systems Division cooperates with many companies associated with the Hitachi Group to face these challenges. Through technology cultivated in defense projects, experience, and the power of digital solutions, Hitachi is able to create products, systems and solutions that cover everything from the sea floor to aerospace and cyberspace.

  Intelligence Information Solutions, Command and Control Solutions and Cyber Security Solutions are recruited in “INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION“ field.

• Product Development

  Considering customer needs and environments in products to be used, we develop high-quality programs, systems and products using a variety of cutting-edge technologies. In order to develop and maintain highly reliable products, we perform several in-house and external tests. In addition to regular inspections, etc. and support, even after delivery, this job surveys market trends and domestic/foreign trends in order to establish corporate plans for new business strategies and propose better systems and products.

  
  

• System Engineer (SE)

  System engineers are expected to examine, analyze and assess markets, technological trends in Japan and overseas, and customer needs to make strategic plans for new business.
  They are also expected to utilize extensive knowledge to reflect customer needs, and provide feed back to the design and development divisions for delivering optimum products and systems.

  
  

• Quality Assurance

  High reliability and quality are required for products and systems related to defense projects. We conduct quality improvement activities, evaluation, and assurance from the viewpoint of customers from the early development stage to product delivery and problem-solving after delivery.

Network Centric Warfare (NCW) Solutions

• By developing wireless network technology to connect aircraft, ship, vehicle, unmanned aircraft, etc. with the ground, and combining information from things and sensors connected through a wireless network with big data analysis and AI technology, we provide digital solutions as new IoT utilization in the defense field.

• Datalink (wireless communication/information sharing systems for defense applications)

  Hitachi contributes to stronger operational capacity by sharing voice, data, video, and other information required to execute strategies between the ground and aircraft.

  

• Drone Detection System

  Across the world there have been many drone-related incidents. We have developed a drone detection system that relies on various sensors such as radar as a solution for important security facilities.

  

• Multi-network connection devices

  We are working to seamlessly connect disparate communication networks, whether wired or wireless, so that voice, video, data and all kinds of information can be shared. In addition to enabling communication between a wide range of telephone, industrial radios, transceivers and terminals, it will also be possible to connect different display devices and cameras for use as a means of sharing information. We also set up radio transmission equipment for connection between sites, so that when public networks are cut off in a disaster situation, independently operated networks can be secured as a means of information sharing between organizations.

On-Board Ship Solutions

• We are constructing on-board information processing systems and control/coordination systems for various equipment.

• Information Processing System/Simulator for Escort Vessels and Submarines

  We provide the systems that are the brain of the ship, performing the integrated processing of sensor information from sonar to estimate the position of the target and analyze its motion, manage and control weapon systems, and provide the training equipment for it.

  
  

  Unmanned Underwater Vessel (UUV) Autonomous Support System (AI)

  We provide the equipment that enables use of AI to automate the system that is the brain of a UUV.

  

• Sonar Systems

  We provide a system to search for undersea objects using a tow fish pulled by a cable from a ship or a mine detector installed on the ship's bottom. This system contributed to undersea rescue and search at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake.

  

• Mechatronics Solutions

  Hitachi is fusing vehicle and bridge mechatronics technologies, processing technologies for special materials(high-strength aluminium, high tensile steel,etc.) and electronics technologies to offer highly reliable mechatronics products that ensure the execution of defense duties and fast recovery of lifelines and assistance in the event of a disaster. We are also promoting digital solutions through the use of electric vehicles and remote control, as well as improved features/serviceability that take advantage of IoT.

  

• Integrated AI platform

  We provide a common platform for the development and operation of AI solutions in each business field to support the introduction and development of AI.
