"............... Tenix Defence's Aerospace Systems Division (formerly
Hawker de Havilland Systems Division) was awarded the $200 million
contract to upgrade the Seahawks back in April 1997. Project Sea 1405
will see the RAN's entire fleet of 16 Sikorsky S-70B-2 Seahawks equipped
with Raytheon's AAQ-27 infra red sensor; Elisra AES-210 ESM system;
Northrop Grumman AN/AAR-54(V) Missile Approach Warning System (MAWS) and
the BAE Systems ALE-47(V) Counter-Measures Dispensing System (CMDS). In
parallel, the RAN's new Kaman SH-2G(A) Super Seasprites will also be
equipped with these sensors to capture the logistics and support
benefits of equipment commonality..................."
