Schiebel’s CAMCOPTER S-100 New Radar Integration: Vienna, Austria – Schiebel, in partnership with MDA Space, has successfully showcased the integration of IMSAR’s NSP Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) with its CAMCOPTER S-100 unmanned air system (UAS). This integration significantly enhances the S-100’s surveillance and detection capabilities, enabling it to operate effectively in challenging conditions.
The recent field trials conducted at the Foremost UAS Test Range in Western Canada highlighted the system’s impressive performance. The S-100, equipped with the IMSAR NSP radar, a Wescam MX-8 EO/IR sensor, a GPS Anti-Jam System, and an Automatic Identification System (AIS), successfully executed a series of simulated land and maritime missions.
