Can the troubled MRH-90 and Tiger be saved?

The POS MRH-90 and Tiger helos still have poor reliability.

What to do?

Throw resources at it.


The new RAMSPO Plateau will provide Navy and Army with the engineering, supply support and technical services required to enable the Tiger and Taipan helicopters to fly their missions and meet and maintain the required operational tempo.

The RAMSPO Plateau was formally commissioned on Thursday 16 April at Airbus Group Australia Pacific’s manufacturing complex on Brisbane Airport.

When operating at full strength it will be staffed by some 250 civilian and Defence personnel.


Good luck.
