The S-101 and S-301 drones mark Schiebel’s entry into weaponized VTOL platforms. The S-301, derived from the unarmed S-300, supports payloads up to 250 kilograms versus the S-100’s 50 kilograms, enabling integration of precision-guided rockets and missiles. Developed under Schiebel Defence GmbH, the new drones are optimized to address asymmetric threats, multi-domain warfare, and operations in contested environments. Hans Georg Schiebel said the launch represents a decisive step in meeting the heightened global demand for armed unmanned systems, underscoring the company’s dedication to providing reliable, advanced solutions for modern armed forces.
