IHS Jane's 360 - 03 October 2017
The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) will deploy its fleet of two Schiebel S-100 Camcopter rotary-winged unmanned aircraft system (UAS) with the service’s Navy UAS Unit as evaluation platforms.
Jane’ s first reported in February 2017 that the RAN has selected the system to fulfil its interim vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) UAS requirement. A contract for the acquisition, which Jane’s has since learned to consist of two Camcopter units with three-years of technical support, was signed in December 2016.
