Systemzentrum Drehflügler Heer, Military helicopter facility in Donauwörth, Germany.
The Systemzentrum Drehflügler Heer is a German Armed Forces facility in Donauwörth that handles helicopter maintenance and technical support services. The site performs diagnostics and repair work on NH90 transport helicopters and Tiger combat helicopters for military operations.
The facility developed from the former Air Force System Center 22 and took its current form on July 1, 2015 under the Army Helicopter Command. This change represented a reorganization of helicopter operations management within the German military structure.
The center brings together military personnel and civilian specialists who share expertise and work side by side on helicopter systems. This collaboration shapes how the facility operates and reflects how contemporary armed forces depend on knowledge from different professional backgrounds.
The operation is located within Airbus Helicopters premises in Donauwörth, which allows close coordination with the manufacturer. As a military facility, public access is restricted and normally requires special authorization.
The center shares its location directly with Airbus Helicopters and operates in integrated workspace with the manufacturer and federal quality control offices. This close proximity means maintenance and helicopter development happen side by side in the same area.
