Schiebel completes first CAMCOPTER® S-100 acceptance milestone for Hellenic Navy FDI frigates
Vienna, 23 April 2026: Following the contract signing on 13 February 2026 for four CAMCOPTER® S-100 Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) for the Hellenic Navy’s new Frégate de Défense et d’Intervention (FDI) frigates, Schiebel and the Hellenic Navy have successfully completed the acceptance tests of the first two systems.
Over the course of one week at Kotroni Helicopter Base, the initial two CAMCOPTER® S-100 systems, comprising four Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs), underwent functional testing, successfully completing the acceptance campaign and confirming their readiness for operational use.
Equipped with L3 Harris MX-10 EO/IR and Overwatch Imaging PT-8DN Oceanwatch, the CAMCOPTER® S-100 will provide the Hellenic Navy with enhanced capability across missions including maritime security, search and rescue, environmental monitoring and exclusive economic zone (EEZ) control.
“This milestone marks an important step in the introduction of the CAMCOPTER® S-100 with the Hellenic Navy,” said Hans Georg Schiebel, Chairman of the Schiebel Group. “The successful acceptance campaign highlights the effective collaboration between Schiebel and the Hellenic Navy, paving the way for operational deployment.”
