SAFRAN IN AUSTRALIA / NEW ZEALAND
Safran’s history in Australia and New Zealand
reaches back to the 1970s. Some 40 years
later, 4 Safran companies are operating in
the region, in our three core businesses:
aerospace, defence and security.
In the aerospace sector, over 750 of our
helicopter engines are now in service and
Safran is the only engine manufacturer in this
region with its own local technical support
facilities. In addition, more than 400 CFM56®
engines have been chosen by 17 airlines
including Qantas Airways and its subsidiary
Jetstar, and Virgin Australia.
We also supply optronics and inertial
navigation systems to the armed forces for
air, land and naval applications (helicopter,
surface ship and submarine).
Within our security portfolio, Federal and State
police forces and a growing list of international
airports have chosen our explosive detection
equipment and our biometric identification
systems (automated fingerprint identification
or facial recognition).
Over the years, we have built up a relationship
of mutual trust with our customers and
partners, based on the quality and reliability
of our high-tech products and services, on
the local support we provide and on the
exceptional relationships established by our
respective teams.
In the coming years, we will expand our
partnerships with our customers, continue
to invest in local projects and personnel, and
actively contribute to the development of the
regional industry.

Safran is a major supplier of aircraft
equipment and engines in Australia and
New Zealand. Turbomeca (Safran), the
world leader in helicopter turbine engines,
is the only turboshaft engine manufacturer
with support capabilities in the region.
It has provided engineering support for
civil and military helicopters since 1994.
From its facility at Bankstown Airport
in Sydney, Turbomeca provides repair
and overhaul capability to owners and
operators of aircraft powered by Arriel 1,
RTM 322 (MRH90) and MTR390 (ARH
Tiger) engines and APU323 (Hawk) and
APU329 (MRH90) auxiliary power units.
This facility is a center of excellence and it
offers deep maintenance solutions for the
Arriel 2, Arrius 1 and Arrius 2 engines.

International, the 50/50 joint company between
Snecma (Safran) and GE. 17 operators in
the region have already chosen the CFM56
engines or its successor LEAP® to power
their aircraft, including Qantas Airways and its
subsidiary Jetstar, and Virgin Australia.
Aircelle, Safran’s nacelle specialist, is one of
the world’s largest nacelle manufacturers
and provides a full range of support services
to all customers in the region. For example,
aircraft operated by Qantas Airways, Virgin
Australia, Airnorth and Fiji Airways are all
equipped with Aircelle nacelles.
Messier-Bugatti-Dowty (Safran), the world
leader in aircraft landing and braking
systems, has been present in the region
for over 15 years and has more than 20
customers in Australia and New Zealand.
Working closely with Qantas Airways and its
subsidiary Jetstar, and Virgin Australia, the
company provides landing gears, wheels,
brakes and associated systems for both
Airbus and Boeing commercial jetliners.
DEFENCE
SECURITY
Safran has operated in the Australian
defence market since the 1990s providing
manufacturing capabilities for a range of
market leading products. Sagem (Safran)
supplies and supports avionics and optronics
used on major platforms such as the ARH
Tiger and the MRH helicopters. The ARH
Tiger helicopters deployed by the Australian
Army also feature twin Turbomeca MTR390
engines, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty landing
gears and the Sagem Strix sighting system.
Safran’s security subsidiary Morpho has
long operated in Australia and New Zealand
(formerly known as Sagem Sécurité),
providing critical biometric solutions for
criminal justice, public safety, border control,
detection and smart transactions markets.
All Australian Federal and State police
forces use Morpho’s biometric solutions
to identify criminals in real time, together
with CrimTrac’s National Automated
Fingerprint Recognition System, one of the
world’s largest fingerprint and palm print
databases. Both the Australian and New
Zealand Custom Services use Morpho’s
facial recognition technology to give eligible
travellers the option of self-processing
through passport control via SmartGate
automated control gates, now deployed
at all major international airports in the
region.
As for the NH90 Troop lift helicopter in
Australia and New Zealand, they are fitted
with Sagem Inertial Reference Systems
(IRS) and assembly tests, ground tests, repair
and overhaul are undertaken by Sagem
Australasia. Sagem also provides inertial
navigation systems for Huon class coastal
minehunters and Collins class submarines,
as well as IRS, surveillance systems and
InfraRed Search and Track (IRST) systems
for other Royal Australian Navy vessels.
In 2009, Sagem moved to state-of-the-art
facilities in Bankstown Airport (NSW) to
deliver local support of its equipment for its
customers.
Morpho also provides a facial recognition
system that helps detect multiple driving
licence registrations to combat identity
fraud in New South Wales. In 2011, Morpho
also opened a service centre in Canberra.
This 24x7 dedicated facility with top security
clearance now supports key customers
such as CrimTrac, the Australian Federal
Police and the Australian Customs and
Border Services.
