P-3C/AP-3C Orion Weapons System
The P-3C fleet consists of two Orion aircraft and a range of ground based systems. The P-3C continues to provide Maritime operational support to protect Australian interests.
Aeronautical Life Support Equipment
Aeronautical Life Support Logistics Management Unit (ALSLMU) manages Aeronautical Life Support Equipment (ALSE), which encompasses:
- Helmets and Oxygen Masks
- Inflatable Life rafts and Vests
- Load Carriage and Restraint Harnesses
- Flares, Radios and Signalling devices for Post Evacuation Survival
- Night Vision Devices
Approximately 80% of ADF ALSE is used by more than one aircraft platform, and is therefore centrally managed. ALSE, which is unique to an aircraft is normally managed along with that platform's other systems.
ADF Clothing
The ADF clothing capability is delivered by the Clothing Systems Program Office in the Defence Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group. The capability encompasses the vast majority of clothing and accessories worn by Australian Defence Force (ADF) members across Navy, Army and Air Force, and is managed under two programs, being combat clothing and non-combat clothing.
