About SCHIEBEL

The Schiebel Group, based in Vienna/Austria, was founded in 1951 and focuses on the development and production of state-of-the-art mine detection equipment and high-tech VTOL Unmanned Air Systems.

Development of the AN-19/2 Mine Detecting Set for the Swedish Army marked the company’s entry into the international market. Further orders from various NATO countries followed and strengthened Schiebel’s world market position.

The major breakthrough and world market leadership was achieved in 1991, when Schiebel won the contract for the AN-19/2 Mine Detecting Set, designated AN/PSS-12, as standard equipment for the U.S. Army. As a consequence, the company has built an excellent international reputation for the development and production of quality products for military and counter-mine use.

Starting in 1994, Schiebel has also been engaged in the development of unmanned helicopters and, in early 2000, successfully launched the CAMCOPTER® 5.1 UAV System on the market. This system has undergone a complete technical redesign in the following years and was presented to the public in 2005 as the CAMCOPTER® S-100. With its integrated autonomous flight control and unique performance data, this unique VTOL platform won the first major contract for Schiebel from the United Arab Emirates. The CAMCOPTER® S-100 thus gained a worldwide leading position in the rapidly expanding UAS market.

Growing international interest in the CAMCOPTER® S-100 required the construction of a new production facility in Wiener Neustadt, 40 km south of Vienna. Opened in 2006, this eye-catching, innovative, contemporary design, combines form with functionality and efficiency, much like the S-100 itself. The facility unites generous capacity and location close to Schiebel's test and demonstration grounds, making it an ideal facility for production, research and development of the CAMCOPTER® S-100.
Since 2010 Schiebel further expanded its technical services with the launch of its Carbon Composites Division, offering high quality custom-made composite services.

To better serve customers worldwide, Schiebel maintains offices in Washington, DC (USA), Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) and Shoalhaven (Australia). Schiebel employs around 300 people worldwide.
Schiebel is EN 9100 certified for quality management systems in the aviation, space and defense industry.
