CAMCOPTER S-100 UAS trial test in Tunisia.
We've the news from @Quwa about the delivery of few pcs to a North African country...
We can "almost" be certain that is Tunisia.
Congrats.

Schiebel selected Leonardo’s PicoSAR active electronically-scanned array (AESA)-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to equip Schiebel S-100 Camcopter unmanned aerial systems (UAS), which will be delivered to an undisclosed North African country.
Leonardo’s press release states that the PicoSAR “will be used to support border-monitoring and anti-terrorism surveillance missions.” The SAR units will be delivered and put into service in 2017.
Notes & Comments:
Using AESA transceiver modules (TRM), the Leonardo PicoSAR can provide “high resolution ground mapping” with round-moving target-indicator (GMTI) capability.
As with other SAR radars, the PicoSAR uses radio waves to produce a high-fidelity ‘image’ of the ground environment, and with GMTI, identify and track moving targets such as vehicles.
With a range of 20 km and mapping resolution of lower than one metre, the PicoSAR is positioned as a potent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) asset. Its light 10-kg weight makes it an option for a diverse range of platforms, especially lightweight UAS such as the Schiebel S-100.
The Schiebel S-100 is a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) drone with an endurance of over six hours and payload carrying capacity of 50 kg.
The S-100 has been marketed for civilian and military applications, with the latter steered towards ISR. It is evidently being steered towards counterinsurgency and internal security operations as well.
almost 3 years trial...
Here the Trial spot..if anyone is interested...
