A sea based air capability is an important part of any modern defence strategy.
Alfons Haar helicopter fuelling systems have been deployed for decades around the world on military ships, reliably and faultlessly fuelling onboard helicopters, including on all of the Australian and New Zealand Navy ANZAC Class Frigates.
The Helicopter Refuelling System HRS is a major safety factor of any Naval vessel and an essential part of successful missions. The HRS represents only a small portion of the complete ship cost, however it is of vital importance to ensure the fighting capability of the ship’s helicopters. The Alfons Haar Helicopter Refuelling System HRS ensures safe storage and refuelling with dry and clean fuel under all operating conditions.
With a very small footprint, our HRS operates in over a dozen different modes to provide operational flexibility and ensure ongoing fuel cleanliness and battle readiness.
Helicopter In-Flight Refuelling HIFR capability with all safety features is designed as an integral part of the HRS.
Haar Australia Pty Ltd (supplier code Z0NP8) was established in 2012 and has been actively supporting the Alfons Haar helicopter refuelling systems in service in Australia, including stocking and supplying spare parts, and providing technical support to Department of Defence and all associated companies and organisations involved in supporting this platform.
Haar Australia has also recently supported the recent upgrades to a modern state of the art electrical and electronic metering and control system compliant with all current standards, demonstrating our local capability to support such a project, and confirming the longevity and forward compatibility of the hardware used in the original design.
