CAMCOPTER employed for security at Olympics

The 2024 Olympic Games were held in France this year with the French Navy CAMCOPTER  S-100 Unmanned Air System (UAS) Squadron securing the waters around Marseille for the Olympic events. The CAMCOPTER S-100 are stationed on board the French Navy’s Flottille 36F in Var, and monitored the vicinity of the Olympic Games, a total of 22,500 nautical square miles. Flying from Saint-Mandrier (Var), the S-100s provided the authorities with real-time data of the maritime area towards Marseille, where a number of sailing, kitesurfing and windsurfing events took place. While conducting these operations, the S-100 was equipped with a high performance EO/IR camera and an Automatic Identification System (AIS) to monitor and detect any suspicious activities at sea. “It is an honour that the French Navy utilised their S-100 Squadron to monitor the surroundings of the Olympic Games. This is another great use case for the CAMCOPTER® and shows the versatility of applications and capabilities,“ said Lubos Sramek, Director of Schiebel Aéronaval SAS in Toulon.
