It may be many miles from my home shores and the words may have been spoken by an American but they rang somewhat true to the situation at home where the new and developing National Police Air Service is still finding its feet. I was sitting in on the Unit Managers Course when the instructor, a greatly respected man who earned his respect by running a large and successful air operation, reminded his stu- dents of their purpose in life. “If the cops on the street are not screaming for you to come in the expectation of getting [air support] help, the operation is flawed and should be considered a failure” Bryn Elliott LAW ENFORCEMENT BRAZIL PARA: Emergency services aviation in Brazil has reportedly fallen on hard times. A few years ago the sector had in place a major forward plan that encompassed most of Brazil’s States and most of the airborne service provision and was expected to see growth in re- sources and manpower controlled within a number of complex governing groups [DFNSP, CAVSEG, CONAV, AEAP, SENASP] but when President Rousseff took power in 2011 she swept them away leaving a vacuum.

Defence IQ endeavours to ensure accuracy wherever possible, but errors are often unavoidable. We encourage readers to contact us if they note any need for amendments or updates. We accept no responsibility for the use or application of this information. We suggest that readers contact the specific government and military programme offices if seeking to confirm the reliability of any data. 1 MARKET OVERVIEW Broadly speaking, the global helicopter market is currently facing a two- pronged assault. The military helicopter segment has been impacted significantly by continued defense budgetary pressures across most traditional markets, and a recent slide in global crude oil prices has impacted the demand for new civil helicopters as well as the level of activity for existing fleets engaged in the offshore oil & gas exploration sector. This situation has impacted industry OEMs significantly, many of which had been working towards strengthening the civil helicopter segment to partially offset the impact of budgetary cuts on the military segment. However, the medium- to long-term view of the market is promising given the presence of strong fundamentals and persistent, sustainable growth drivers. The market for military helicopters in particular is set to cross a technological threshold in the form of next-generation compound helicopters and tilt rotorcraft.
