At Euronaval 2014, Austrian company Schiebel came in Paris to present
an upgraded variant of its well-known Camcopter S-100 Unmanned Aerial
System. For the occasion, Schiebel chose to integrate the Selex ES SAGE
advanced digital Electronic Support Measures system on its drone. |

Its
robust design makes the Camcopter S-100 ideally suited for use in maritime
operations and has been operationally proven on single-spot ships worldwide.
Its compact size and light weight means the S-100 can be easily maneuvered,
stowed, and maintained in ships hangars. A typical frigate-sized hangar
can store up to five S-100 allongside a conventional large manned helicopter,
and successfully complements operations traditionally completed by manned
helicopters.
It is fully marinized against corrosion through the extensive use of
carbon fibre composite materials, stainless steel, titanium, anodization
and special coatings. With its automatic VTOL capacity, it can take
of and land unaffected by rain and strong winds on any ship with a helicopter
deck. The S-100 is optionnaly equipped with a harpoon deck capture system
for use with any NATO grid. |

Now
integrated on Camcopter S-100, Selex ES' SAGE, advanced digital Electronic
Support Measures (ESM), provides an unparalleled geo-location capability
from a single platform. The state-of-the-art system can be fitted to
multiple platforms ranging from mid-sized UAVs to large transport aircraft.
Available in a variety of configurations with the option to add a Communication
ESM Channel, SAGE can be tailored to your platform and your requirements.
SAGE is a true ‘force-multiplier’ in that it eliminates
the requirement for specialist ESM platforms, reducing cost, increasing
commonality and enhancing flexibility. SAGE can passively detect, identify
and characterise emitters at less than 1°rms and cue other sensors,
such as SAR, or be datalinked off-board to cue other entities.

The
flexibility of the SAGE system enables it to be integrated onto UAVs,
Helicopters, Fast Jets and Transport Aircraft. Its main application
is Situational Awareness and intelligence gathering, which is optimised
through wideband and channelised receivers that generate instantaneous
detection and enable ELINT analysis.
The SAGE system effectively performs advanced ESM, platform protection
and geo-location in both military and civil applications. It is equally
capable of operating in hostile complex environments, or enhancing the
capabilities of Maritime Patrol Aircraft and other homeland defence
platforms. The ability of SAGE to identify and categorise complex emitters,
whilst recording data for further analysis gives the foundation of a
true sovereign ELINT capability. In turn this will enable you to take
control of your own EW databases and threat libraries whilst providing
the capability to create and tailor Mission Data Files to suit sovereign
needs. |
