In a hugely significant development, Defence confirmed on Tuesday that a RAN dive team recovered the voice and flight data recorder from the wreckage.
Australia confirmed the acquisition of 40 UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters this year after approval was given from the US State Department for a US$1.95 billion purchase.
The appointment was announced just days after Airservices CEO Jason Harfield admitted his organisation is not delivering the standard of service expected following a row over closed airspace.
The systems allow users to manage and safely support incoming flights when traditional infrastructure does not exist or has been damaged by disaster or warfighting.
Searchers have also found parts of the helicopter’s cockpit in water about 40 metres deep, despite poor weather hampering the recovery.
The Defence Minister added that exercises such as Talisman Sabre are critical to securing the country and hailed the men for “making a difference”.
