Drone testet på KV Nordkapp - UAS Vision

 

Leste jeg "....under icing conditions...." her? Nope. Jeg lurer også på hva det uthevet i gult egentlig innebærer. Hva slags forhold kan eller bør ikke AW101 fly under ?  Det høres mest ut som reklame trykket på glanset papir, spør du meg.

Did I read ".... under icing conditions ...." here? Nope. I also wonder what the highlight in yellow really means. What conditions can or should the AW101 not fly under? It mostly sounds like an advert printed on glossy paper, if you asked me. (Ed.)

Schiebel Conducts Successful SAR Trials in the Arctic

Schiebel, together with Andøya Space Defence, successfully demonstrated the capabilities of the CAMCOPTER S-100 on board the coast guard vessel KV Nordkapp in Norwegian waters.

The purpose of the trials was to demonstrate the embarked Search and Rescue (SAR) and maritime surveillance capabilities of the CAMCOPTER S-100 in the environmental conditions of the Arctic in latitudes above 75 degrees north.

The week-long trial was made possible through “Arctic 2030”, a Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs programme, which aims to sustain Norwegian interests in the far north. The aim was to demonstrate that Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) ideally supplement manned helicopters, greatly enhancing SAR efforts in this remote part of the world. The CAMCOPTER S-100 proved that it can operate in adverse weather conditions, where manned helicopters can be at higher risk.

The UAS was equipped with a Trakka TC-300 EO/IR sensor, an Overwatch Imaging PT-8N Oceanwatch, a Radionor antenna as additional data link for video feed transmission as well as an Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver.

Hans Georg Schiebel, Chairman of the Schiebel Group, said:

“The CAMCOPTER S-100 is perfect for maritime operations, including in the Arctic or Antarctic. It has proven several times that it can operate in temperatures down to -40 degrees Celsius and under harsh weather conditions. We’re proud to have been able to successfully demonstrate these remarkable capabilities to the Norwegian Coastguard and Navy.”
