Australia . 26 July 2021. The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) awarded Schiebel with a 3-year extension contract for the sustainment of its CAMCOPTER® S-100. The extension allows the RAN to continue to experiment and
develop knowledge using the S-100.
After winning the RAN contract back in 2016, Schiebel has built on its initial acquisition contract resulting in this substantial extension. The contract includes field support services, engineering and logistics elements, as well as the creation of a sovereign Australian CAMCOPTER® S-100 training capability delivered by Schiebel Pacific Pty Ltd.
“For Schiebel Pacific the contract extension secures existing Australian jobs and will
create further positions for Australian Unmanned Air System (UAS) experts. We are
immensely proud that we were able to convince with our CAMCOPTER® S-100”, said
Hans Georg Schiebel, Chairman of the Schiebel Group.
The CAMCOPTER® S-100 holds an impressive track record of supporting naval
customers, with missions successfully completed on over 40 different ships on all the
world’s oceans, in every environment from the tropics to the arctic.
