Schiebel Camcopter® S-100 Achieves Milestone Success with Hellenic Navy Trials

Schiebel showcased the exceptional features of its Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) CAMCOPTER® S-100 to the Hellenic Navy.

Positioned on the Elli-Class Frigate Aigaion (F-460) in the Mediterranean Sea to the west of Crete, the S-100 highlighted its range, endurance, and speed over a week-long trial, demonstrating its capabilities in maritime reconnaissance and detection for the Hellenic Navy. During the demonstration, the CAMCOPTER® S-100 was fitted with a Trakka TC-300 EO/IR sensor and a Shine Micro Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver.

The operations featured alternating day and night take-offs and landings. They encompassed collaboration with other Hellenic Navy vessels, maritime traffic surveillance, and coastal monitoring. Hans Georg Schiebel, Chairman of the Schiebel Group, remarked: “Our CAMCOPTER® S-100 is the sole UAV in its category with extensive operational experience. It is utilized by 14 navies globally, and we are extremely proud to have successfully presented our system to the Hellenic Navy.”
