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.
