The Schiebel Camcopter S-100 is an Austrian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using a rotorcraft design.
Design and development
Produced by the Austrian company Schiebel, it was developed from 2003 to 2005. With a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of {{convert|200|kg|-1|abbr=on}}, its endurance is 6 hours (extendable to over 10 hours with optional external AVGAS fuel tanks fitted{{cite web |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/615527/AAIB_Bulletin_6-2017.pdf |title=AAIB Bulletin |publisher=Air Accidents Investigation Branch |page=66 |date=8 June 2017}}). It has a maximum speed of {{convert|220|kph|abbr=on}} and a ceiling of {{convert|5500|m|abbr=on}}. It is powered by a {{convert|55|hp|abbr=on|order=flip}} Diamond engine and can carry various payloads, such as electro-optics and infrared sensors. The primary radio link between ground station(s) occupy the 5030-5091 MHz band. A secondary link in the UHF band would operate within 433.2125 MHz to 434.4625 MHz.
On 12 March 2012 Schiebel announced that it successfully tested a company-developed heavy-fuel engine interchangeable with the standard Diamond engine. This heavy-fuel engine allows for the use of JP-5, Jet A-1 or JP-8 jet fuels. These fuels, which are standard on marine vessels, are safer to store and handle than gasoline.{{cite press release |url=http://www.schiebel.net/AcmsFile/1890/0/550/Maiden%20Flight%20of%20the%20CAMCOPTER%C2%AE%20S-100%20with%20Schiebe.pdf |title=Maiden Flight of the Camcopter S-100 with Schiebel's New Heavy Fuel Engine |publisher=Schiebel.net |first=Andrea |last=Blama |date=12 March 2012 |access-date=22 June 2012}}{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes}}
On 7 February 2013, Schiebel flight tested a Thales Group I-Master surveillance radar system on the Camcopter at its Wiener Neustadt, Austria, facility. The I-Master system, weighing {{convert|30|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}, provides ground moving target indication and synthetic-aperture radar operations.{{cite magazine |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/picture-camcopter-uav-flies-with-thales-dual-mode-radar-382465/ |title=Camcopter UAV flies with Thales dual-mode radar |magazine=Flight International |first=Craig |last=Hoyle |date=19 February 2013 |access-date=27 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130307123121/http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/picture-camcopter-uav-flies-with-thales-dual-mode-radar-382465/ |archive-date=7 March 2013 |url-status=live}}

It will additionally support other activities, such as search and rescue and natural disaster recovery.{{cite news |url=http://theaviationist.com/2014/05/31/s-100-san-giusto-trials/ |title=The Italian Navy is testing a tiny Camcopter drone from its amphibious warfare ship |work=The Aviationist |first=David |last=Cenciotti |date=31 May 2014 |access-date=27 August 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903063115/http://theaviationist.com/2014/05/31/s-100-san-giusto-trials/ |archive-date=3 September 2014 |url-status=live}} They are currently assigned to the 4° Gruppo Elicotteri (4th Helicopter Sqn.) based at the Grottaglie Naval Air Station near Taranto.{{Cite web |url=https://www.scramble.nl/orbats/italy/marina |title=Orbats}}
In December 2014, the Camcopter went through a series of trials in Bizerte, Tunisia, to serve within the Tunisian Army. Schiebel selected the Italian company Leonardo to supply AESA-based SAR radar for the systems which were to enter service in 2017.{{cite news |url=https://quwa.org/2017/03/02/schiebel-selects-leonardo-supply-aesa-based-sar-radar-uav/ |title=Schiebel selects Leonardo to supply AESA-based SAR radar for UAV |work=Quwa |first=Bilal |last=Khan |date=2 March 2017 |access-date=27 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180627202036/https://quwa.org/2017/03/02/schiebel-selects-leonardo-supply-aesa-based-sar-radar-uav/ |archive-date=27 June 2018 |url-status=live}}

In early 2023, the Royal Navy selected the system for operations in an intelligence-gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance role. It is named "Peregrine" in Royal Navy service, after HMS Peregrine, the former Royal Naval Air Station Ford. Equipped with the Thales I-Master radar and other sensors, it was initially intended to begin operations in the Persian Gulf in mid-2024.{{Cite web |url=https://www.navylookout.com/peregrine-rotary-wing-uav-to-enter-service-with-the-royal-navy/ |title=Peregrine rotary wing UAV to enter service with the Royal Navy |website=Navy Lookout|date=10 February 2023}} In February 2025, it was announced that a Peregrine UAV had successfully completed a number of sorties from the flight deck of {{HMS|Lancaster|F229|6}}, a frigate engaged in anti-narcotic operations in the Gulf of Oman.{{cite web |author= |date=21 February 2025 |title=Royal Navy's mini-helicopter debuts on operations in Gulf |url=https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2025/february/21/20250221-royal-navys-mini-helicopter-debuts-on-operations-in-gulf |website=www.royalnavy.mod.uk |publisher=Royal Navy Digital |access-date=26 February 2025}}
