Schiebel Camcopter S-100 UAS Demonstrates Multi-Mission Capabilities at REPMUS 2024

Schiebel news release

Funded by the UK Royal Navy and in collaboration with Thales, the S-100 flew numerous goals over the 3 weeks of the workout and pleased with its Knowledge, Monitoring and Reconnaissance (ISR) abilities in addition to its AntiSubmarine War (ASW), Mine Counter Steps (MCM) and Fast Ecological Analysis (REA) options:

Sonobuoy release and information relay (ASW)

Finally year’s REPMUS, the CAMCOPTER S-100 showed its sonobuoy dispenser, effectively releasing 4 G-size sonobuoys from the air to develop a tiny ASW obstacle. This year, the UAS in addition went down and released the much more qualified A-size sonobuoys along with the 4 G-size sonobuoys. A 2nd S-100, set up with the Thales BlueTracker interactions haul, after that passed on the sonobuoy signals back to the ground terminal in actual time supplying important variety expansion. The objective was intended and kept an eye on utilizing the Thales M-Cube Goal Monitoring System, with BlueTracker acoustic handling of the gotten signals and succeeding circulation of undersea targets to the Battle Monitoring System. An end-toend, incorporated ability for ASW procedures.

Bathymetric and topographic mapping (MCM and REA)

Schiebel fitted the CAMCOPTER S-100 with the VQ-860-G and the VUX-120 LiDARs from the Austrian firm Riegl, allowing the S-100 to check the workout waters for both wandering and anchored mines. The laser scanners supply synchronised bathymetric and topographic mapping under water, on surface area and along coasts, making the S-100 the excellent property for spotting sea mines (for MCM) in addition to for sustaining aquatic procedures (for REA). The objective was intended and kept an eye on utilizing Thales M-Cube Goal Monitoring System, a job order was after that put on the mine clearance scuba divers to finish the recognition of the mines identified by the UAS. An end-to-end, incorporated ability for MCM and REA procedures.

” Maritime war making use of UAS is ending up being increasingly more front of mind for Navies throughout the globe. Utilizing the most up to date modern technology incorporated with a tested unmanned property supplies an end-to-end remedy for ASW that conserves important time and dramatically lowers dangers. With our 20 plus years of functional experience, specifically in the rough marine setting flying from ships, and the remarkable technological specs of the S-100, it is the suitable UAS to display the most up to date unmanned air-borne abilities at REPMUS.”
