SCHIEBEL AWARDED PRESTIGIOUS SEARCH AND RESCUE CONTRACT BY SASEMAR IN SPAIN

Schiebel was awarded with the iSAR Research and
Development programme, which builds on the current CAMCOPTER® S-100
Unmanned Air System (UAS) with the aim of further developing its maritime
Search and Rescue (SAR) capabilities, offering a higher level of automation.

The scope of this multi-million Euro contract includes the further development and
delivery of the high performance CAMCOPTER® S-100 UAS, including the integration
of the latest high-tech sensors, allowing the detection and identification, both day and
night, of castaways, drifting objects and polluting substances in the high seas; as well
as monitoring toxic and hazardous atmospheres, emissions from ships and sea
surface pollution. Furthermore, this project includes a data collection and distribution
system combining information from the S-100 sensors, the manned AW139 and
CN235 helicopters, as well as sensor data from two ships.

The S-100 payloads will include an Overwatch Imaging PT-8DN Oceanwatch, a
Trakka TC-300 EO/IR sensor, an Aeromon BH-12 Emission Measuring Device, and a
set of SENSIA Gas Imaging Devices.

The innovative payload suite allows the S-100 to perform all requested missions
simultaneously, without the need of having to change the sensors. For the integration
and fulfilment of the contract Schiebel partnered with a number of technology leaders,
including the Spanish technology business group GMV Innovating Solutions, which is
responsible for the network infrastructure.

The Maritime Safety and Rescue Society (SASEMAR) is part of the Spanish Ministry
of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (MITMA).

Hans Georg Schiebel, Chairman of the Schiebel Group, said: “It is a pleasure and
honour to add SASEMAR to our customers. This contract confirms the superiority of
the solutions we provide and will further contribute to our technological dominance.”
