“The new Sikorsky Helitech contract took effect from 10 July 2012,” a Defence spokesperson told AA, and “…is a new contract supporting both Seahawk and Black Hawk that has replaced a standing offer arrangement with Sikorsky Helitech that previously supported both Seahawk and Black Hawk.”
Sikorsky Helitech undertakes the work at its Brisbane facilities.
The contract is separate from the ongoing support contracts for both types with BAE Systems.
