About CAMCOPTER S-300
CAMCOPTER S-300 is a rotary-wing uncrewed aircraft developed as a larger complement to Schiebel’s established S-100 platform. Its helicopter configuration supports vertical take-off and landing while providing space and lift for heavier mission payloads.
Schiebel completed initial S-300 flight activity in France as part of the platform’s development and demonstration programme. Intended applications include maritime surveillance, intelligence collection and other government or defense missions requiring persistent airborne sensing.
