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.”

Amazing.
Yet another navy making the terrible error of selecting the Schiebel.
Just ask the RAN about them.
They’re no good …………………….apparently
Country after Country are selecting Schiebel S-100, enhancing their ability to monitor their EEZ, environmental concerns as well as Search and Rescue and every Country that uses them, heaps praise on them. No wonder the RAN dumped.
The RN has also worked with Schibel to produce an armed version.
The 101 can carry 2 Martlet missiles with the 301 able to carry up to 10.
But of course, the RAN would tell us that that’s not possible
I see the RAN has now announced it is buying P4 Transwings off PteroDynamics.
The P4 is barely out of prototype status and the larger version, the P5, is still at prototype status.
But they come with a “Made in the USA sticker”
