Schiebel Camcopter S-100 RPAS for the Danish Navy

Danish Navy carries out maritime surveillance tasks with Schiebel Camcopter S-100 RPAS

The Royal Danish Navy (RDN) uses the Schiebel CAMCOPTER® S-100 for maritime surveillance. The RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) service is provided by the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA). The CAMCOPTER® S-100 is based in Denmark's northernmost town of Skagen and supports the RDN and other national authorities in carrying out various maritime surveillance tasks, including the detection, verification and provision of information on potential oil spills and discharges at sea. All data collected during the flights is shared live via EMSA's RPAS data centre, allowing users to monitor any unusual activity at sea that may have a negative impact on the safety of people and vessels in the area or on the environment. The S-100's numerous state-of-the-art sensors significantly enhance the RDN's maritime surveillance capabilities. The UAS is equipped with a gimbal-mounted L3 Wescam Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) camera, an Overwatch Imaging PT-8 Oceanwatch and an Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver.
