The Westland Wessex HAS31B was a British-built military helicopter developed by Westland Aircraft, a company based in the United Kingdom. It was derived from the American Sikorsky H-34 and adapted to meet the needs of the Royal Australian Navy. The Wessex WAS31B was specifically designed for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and search and rescue (SAR) operations. It featured a distinctive design with a single main rotor and a tail rotor, providing the stability and control necessary for complex maritime missions.
