Building on the success of the S-100, Schiebel and Thales are now working to offer two new armed variants of the Camcopter to clients in Europe and beyond,\u201d Moore said at the 2025 DSEI UK show in London last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the joint effort, Thales acts as a systems integrator and supplier of sensors to the expanding Camcopter range, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company representative stated that, adding to the unarmed system\u2019s existing users such as the U.K., France and South Korea, the new armed variants will also be pitched to countries such as Germany, Japan and New Zealand which are looking to expand their capabilities in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe S-301 will be available for operations in 2027. It is three times bigger than the S-101, which can carry two Martlet missiles, and it will be able to carry ten such missiles,\u201d according to Moore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement, Schiebel said that the two \u201cnext-generation unmanned helicopter systems represent refined new designs, dedicated for weaponization and engineered to meet the rapidly evolving demands of modern military operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe 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 defense missions across multi-domain environments,\u201d according to Schiebel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The S-101 and S-301 are developed and manufactured by Schiebel Defence GmbH, a newly established offshoot based in Austria and dedicated exclusively to armed UAVs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of the joint effort, Thales acts as a systems integrator and supplier of sensors to the
