Vienna, 5 September 2024 – The CAMCOPTER® S-100 received the first ever
Design Verification Report (DVR) by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) for a Rotary Wing Unmanned Air System (RWUAS).
The Design Verification Report (DVR) for the specific category of UAS operations was
issued after a rigorous evaluation process, including 300 EASA observed flight hours
proving airworthiness, safety and enhanced containment, as well as successfully
demonstrating laser safety, cyber security features and HIRF (High Intensity Radiated
Fields) resistance.
This EASA report enables the French Navy to issue a “Military Operational Type
Authorisation” and facilitates the approval processes for S-100 flight operations in all
EASA member states.
“Receiving the DVR is a significant milestone for Schiebel and a major step towards
fully certifying the CAMCOPTER® S-100 UAS”, said Hans Georg Schiebel, Chairman
of the Schiebel Group.
The DVR process was set in place by EASA at the end of 2021 and aims at ensuring
safe drone operations in Europe.
