Should the BDCP be ceased you will be advised and your BDCP additional payment will cease.

About our Team
ACSPO organisationally sits in the Aerospace Systems Combat Branch, under Aerospace Systems Division in CASG, within the Department of Defence. ACSPO is the aviation asset management in-service support agency for the Australian F-35A Lightning II Air System. ACSPO engages with local, regional and international enterprise partners and suppliers of the F-35 Global Program; consisting of both foreign governments and industry, to provide sustainment support for the Capability Manager, the Royal Australian Air Force.

ACSPO is based at RAAF Williamtown in NSW, and supports the Australian F-35A fleet. The F35A aircraft are currently based at RAAF Williamtown; however, towards the end of 2021 there will also be a squadron based at RAAF Tindal in the Northern Territory.

The primary focus for ACSPO is governing across the Australian F-35A Air Combat Capability. This includes the ongoing management, execution and continuous improvement of the various governance frameworks, processes and procedures in order to provide leading aviation asset management. Accepting transition of the remaining governance and asset management functions from the F-35A acquisition organisation also remains a priority for ACSPO.
