Daily Flight Displays Planned For June 8-13
The first unmanned VTOL System to fly at ILA Berlin will be
Schiebel's Camcopter S-100 Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). The
company plans daily flight displays at Berlin Schonefeld airport
from June 8-13. Viewing screens around the airport will show
pictures of the flight displays, along with the data transmission
from the Camcopter S-100's EO/IR payload camera.

Camcopter S-100 was also the only UAS flying at the Le Bourget
Air Show in Paris 2009. "We are very pleased to show the advantages
of our unmanned helicopter to a wide expert audience," said Hans
Georg Schiebel, Manager of Schiebel.
Claus Gunther, member of the Diehl Executive Board and President
of the Corporate Division Board Diehl Defence, said he is
optimistic for the future of the UAV. "This is not the first
time our cooperation partner Schiebel's helicopter drone has
offered a convincing performance in Germany," he said. "In the
summer of 2008, the Camcopter S-100 successfully completed a
three-week test series with the German Navy's new corvettes
K130."

The aircraft is designed for target and impact reconnaissance,
contributing to the protection of German soldiers in military
operations. The work share of Diehl BGT Defence as prime contractor
comprises the system's adaptation to German requirements, provision
of sensors and logistics as well as integration in the German
corvette K130 as well as the army's reconnaissance troops
inventory.
With its proven maritime capability, the UAV is used in civil as
in the military sector. Its multi-tasking networking abilities
-ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and
Reconnaissance) are essential for missions in military-maritime
sector. Data can be gathered, analyzed and used directly without
time loss for optimal implementation of the mission.
