Vienna, 9 September 2025: Schiebel announced the launch of two new products:  the CAMCOPTER® S-101 and CAMCOPTER® S-301 Unmanned Air Systems  (UAS). These next-generation unmanned helicopter systems represent refined  new designs, dedicated for weaponisation and engineered to meet the rapidly  evolving demands of modern military operations. 

Building on the success of the CAMCOPTER® S-100 – a proven solution designed for  the military domain (Navies and Armies), it has been extensively sold and deployed  operationally around the globe, both on land and at sea. The armed S-101 and S-301  introduce a new era of innovation and precision strike capability for a tactical UAS. The  platforms feature advanced performance, military-grade systems integration, 

embedded AI and robust architecture, purpose-built for the most demanding defence  missions across multi-domain environments. Both systems are engineered to ensure  resilience in contested electromagnetic environments, guaranteeing operational effectiveness even under the most challenging conditions. 

Development and production of the S-101 and S-301 are carried out by Schiebel  Defence GmbH, a newly established group subsidiary, based in Wiener Neustadt,  Austria, dedicated exclusively to armed UAS. The company ensures the new platforms  are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of military forces, with a focus on  integrating already in-service missiles and rockets well suited to tactical rotary  platforms that will provide a persistent and distributed lethality option against  asymmetric threats allowing engagement at stand-off ranges. 

With the establishment of Schiebel Defence GmbH, the Group is responding to the  changing geopolitical challenges and the rising demand for weaponised autonomous  systems tailored to military requirements. This marks a strategically important step in  further strengthening Schiebel’s position as a leading provider of global defence-grade  UAS. 

“The worldwide security landscape is shifting rapidly and we are seeing a significant  increase in demand for armed unmanned platforms and systems,” said Hans Georg  Schiebel, Chairman of the Schiebel Group. “With the establishment of Schiebel  Defence GmbH, we are positioning ourselves to respond directly to this demand. The  launch of the weaponised CAMCOPTER® S-101 and S-301 platforms reflects our  commitment to providing armed forces with advanced, reliable and mission-ready  armed systems that meet the challenges of modern operations.”
