Helicopter Systems Division

Helicopter Systems Division (HSD), formed on 21 August 2006, manages the acquisition and through life support of helicopter systems for the Australian Defence Force. The division is responsive to Chief Capability Development Executive and, as appropriate, to the Service Chiefs for delivery of acquisition outcomes. The division is also responsive to the Chief of Navy and the Chief of Army for the sustainment of in service helicopters.

Helicopter Systems Division Executive

The executive has been established to provide a headquarters function to HSD. It is in the early stages of formation, with the division only created in mid 2006. As a result staff support to HSD is still being provided by Aerospace Systems Division.

Navy Aviation Systems

This branch manages the upgrade of the Seahawk under SEA1405 and future Navy Aviation capability projects. It is also responsible for the Navy Aviation Systems Program Office.

Army Aviation Systems

This branch is responsible for the acquisition and sustainment of the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter capability under AIR87, the acquisition and sustainment of the Multi-role Helicopter capability under AIR9000 Phases two, four, and six, and upgrade of Chinook under project AIR9000 Phase 5. It is also responsible for the Army Aviation Systems Program Office.
