Schiebel Boosts Production of Advanced Heavy Lift UAS in Abu Dhabi

Schiebel is significantly enhancing its operational capabilities in Abu Dhabi to further the advancement and manufacturing of the CAMCOPTER® S-300 Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), known for its long endurance and heavy-lift capabilities.

Strategic Expansion Following Major Contract Win

This expansion comes on the heels of a significant contract awarded for the provision of the CAMCOPTER S-300 UAS, equipped with advanced sensor technologies, to the South Korean Navy.

Exceptional Performance and Versatility

The S-300 is engineered for remarkable endurance and can transport payloads of up to 250 kg. Its robust performance and multi-sensor capabilities make it particularly suited for Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) operations. This includes critical tasks such as submarine detection, missile early warning systems, and logistical support missions that require heavy lifting across challenging terrains.

A Legacy of innovation in the UAS Market

schiebel made a significant entry into the global UAS market in 2005, with the UAE being the first to adopt the operationally proven and highly regarded CAMCOPTER® S-100. Consequently, the Middle East has remained a focal point for the Schiebel Group’s initiatives.

commitment to Market Needs

Hans Georg Schiebel, Chairman of the Schiebel group, remarked, “For the past two decades, we have been at the forefront of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) UAS innovation. By introducing the S-300 to our lineup, we are addressing the demand for a long-endurance, heavy-lift UAS.”

“Given our successful track record in this region,establishing our operations in Abu Dhabi is a natural progression for this exciting venture.”
