Schiebel CAMCOPTER® S-100 - Thales I-Master™ RADAR and IAI POP®ULTRA EO/IR Flights

The collaboration between Schiebel and Thales is in response to emerging requirements that will equip deployed maritime operational vessels with a capability to provide a persistent, assured and integrated ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance) asset to find, fix, track and identify surface threats, such as FIACs and single and multiple Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs).
Gaining vital minutes and seconds to respond to ever changing maritime threats or even saving lives at sea, is exactly what the combined capabilities of the Schiebel CAMCOPTER® S-100 Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) provides with an integrated sensor suite consisting of Thales’s high-performance I-Master™ radar, the IAI POP®ULTRA EO/IR sensor pod and IFF.
The S-100's sensors, supported by an Automatic Identification System and fused together with the CarteNav AIMS Mission System provides the operator the ability to detect and identify unknown targets quickly.
I-Master can be operated in both Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Maritime Moving Target Indication (MMTI) modes and once it detects and finds a contact, the on board EO/IR sensor is cross-cued to perform the identification. High-definition imagery and radar data is downloaded to the human operator and disseminated in real time through the host ship’s Combat Management System and disseminated to multiple users.
