Schiebel has launched two new systems, the CAMCOPTER S-101 and CAMCOPTER S-301. These designs are dedicated to weaponisation and built to meet the demands of modern military operations.

Building on the success of the CAMCOPTER S-100, which has been deployed on land and at sea worldwide, the S-101 and S-301 introduce precision strike capability in a tactical unmanned helicopter. They are built with military-grade integration, embedded AI and robust architecture for demanding defence missions.

Both systems are designed to remain effective in contested electromagnetic environments. Schiebel Defence GmbH, based in Wiener Neustadt, Austria, is responsible for their production, with a focus on integrating in-service missiles and rockets suited to tactical rotary platforms.

The company says these designs give armed forces persistent and distributed lethality against asymmetric threats at stand-off ranges.

Hans Georg Schiebel, chairman of the Schiebel Group, says: “The worldwide security landscape is shifting rapidly and we are seeing a significant increase in demand for armed unmanned platforms and systems. With the establishment of Schiebel Defence GmbH, we are positioning ourselves to respond directly to this demand. The launch of the weaponised CAMCOPTER S-101 and S-301 platforms reflects our commitment to providing armed forces with advanced, reliable and mission-ready armed systems that meet the challenges of modern operations.”
