During the trials, the CAMCOPTER® S-100, equipped with the IMSAR radar, Wescam’s MX-8 EO/IR sensor, a GPS Anti-Jam System, and an Automatic Identification System (AIS), successfully completed a series of simulated land and maritime tasks. The system demonstrated its capabilities during both day and night operations, achieving high-resolution SAR imagery, GMTI detections, and tracks at ranges exceeding 100 nautical miles.
The trials showcased the platform’s ability to provide wide-area surveillance and detection capabilities under a variety of weather conditions. Neil Hunter, Head of Global Sales for Schiebel, remarked, “The integration of IMSAR’s radar with the S-100, in combination with a powerful EO/IR, significantly expands the platform’s surveillance and detection capabilities, allowing for wide-area coverage at impressive distances in all weather conditions.”
Schiebel emphasised that the CAMCOPTER S-100 continues to deliver actionable intelligence in real-time, solidifying its role as a versatile multi-sensor platform for demanding operational environments. The trial further underlined the system’s value in enhancing situational awareness for both ground and maritime missions.
