Brazilian and Italian Camcopter Trials

摘要

The Schiebel Camcopter S-100 unmanned air vehicle has conducted a series of trials for the Brazilian and Italian navies. An S-100 was operated from the Brazilian Navy Amazonas-class ship Apa (P121) off the coast of San Pedro from June 2 to 5. The aircraft flew several sorties so the navy could assess the capabilities of its L3 Wescam MX-10 electro-optical/infrared sensor, Selex ES Sage electronic warfare system, Selex PicoSAR radar and automatic identification system payloads. Both day and night trials were conducted, with target detection out to 90nm (167km).
