Vienna, 16 December 2024 – Carabineros de Chile, the Chilean national police force,  has acquired the CAMCOPTER® S-100 Unmanned Air System (UAS), making them  the first police force in Latin America to implement this advanced technology for  enhanced operational efficiency and public safety. 

With its operational flexibility in demanding environments, the S-100 system will be  deployed primarily in the Araucanía region, where difficult terrain makes conventional  security operations particular challenging, if not impossible.  

This strategic acquisition underlines Carabineros de Chile’s commitment to leveraging  innovative technology to enhance their mission of ensuring public safety and security.  The CAMCOPTER® S-100’s autonomous features and robust performance in adverse  conditions make it an invaluable tool for addressing the unique challenges faced by  law enforcement in the region. 

“We are honoured that Carabineros de Chile have selected the CAMCOPTER® S-100  to enhance their capabilities”, said Hans Georg Schiebel, Chairman of the Schiebel  Group. “The system will play a key role in advancing their public safety operations.”
