The Defense Security Cooperation Agency said Monday the Australian government ordered Chinook helicopters, aircraft turbine engines, common missile warning systems, Honeywell‘s (NYSE: HON) global positioning systems and other associated systems.
Australia also requested the sale of non-major defense equipment such as transponders, GPS receivers, airborne communication systems, cryptographic computers, night-vision systems, airborne navigation systems and spare parts.
The country intends for the CH-47F aircraft to bolster its homeland defense and regional threat deterrence systems.
Chinook helicopters will serve as a replacement for Australiaâs legacy CH-47D aircraft, DSCA said.
