EDGE Unveils Most Advanced Defence and Tech Solutions at IDEX 2025

Abu Dhabi, UAE: 17 February 2025 – EDGE, one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defence groups, has unveiled 46 new cutting-edge defence and technology solutions at the International Defence Exhibition & Conference (IDEX) 2025 and the Naval Defence & Maritime Security Exhibition (NAVDEX) 2025. With this latest expansion, EDGE’s portfolio now boasts 216 products, reinforcing its position as a leader in global defence innovation.

A Leap Towards Next-Generation Defence Capabilities

EDGE’s showcase at IDEX 2025 represents its most advanced display to date, featuring innovations spanning air, land, sea, cyber, and space.

The introduction of cutting-edge systems underscores the company’s ambition to deliver integrated, multi-domain capabilities rather than standalone products.

The emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous systems, and secure communications highlights EDGE’s commitment to technological superiority and operational efficiency.

Among the most notable launches is the TACTICA AI-powered C4I system, designed for space intelligence and real-time decision-making. By leveraging AI, EDGE enhances mission effectiveness, demonstrating its capability to integrate emerging technologies into modern warfare.

Additionally, the expansion into electronic warfare, radar, and electro-optical systems—including MIRSAD high-precision cameras and TAWAQ next-generation radars—further strengthens its ability to counter evolving threats.

Strategic Innovations Across Domains

Air Domain

EDGE continues to expand its unmanned aerial capabilities with the introduction of the HT-100 unmanned helicopter and GARMOOSHA, the UAE’s first domestically produced unmanned aerial system.

These advancements align with the global shift towards autonomous warfare, where drones and unmanned platforms are becoming integral to intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.

Additionally, the AL TARIQ precision-guided munitions and SKYKNIGHT air defence missile system reinforce EDGE’s presence in aerial defence, offering enhanced strike and protection capabilities.

Land Domain

The land domain sees significant upgrades with the THeMIS unmanned ground vehicle and the AJBAN MK II multi-role light patrol vehicle. The AJBAN series, particularly the MK II, offers enhanced mobility, protection, and modularity, making it a competitive option for modern armed forces.

Additionally, the unveiling of the HAVOC Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) and new variants in the NIMR AJBAN MK2 series demonstrates EDGE’s commitment to bolstering ground forces with adaptable and technologically advanced solutions.

Naval Domain

EDGE is also pushing forward in naval capabilities with the FALAJ 3 patrol vessel and RABDAN offshore patrol vessel, both designed and manufactured in the UAE. These vessels underscore the country’s growing naval manufacturing expertise and self-reliance in maritime security.

Furthermore, the FA-400 offshore patrol vessel, launched at IDEX 2025, highlights EDGE’s increasing investment in securing maritime borders and countering potential threats in regional waters.

Cyber and Electronic Warfare Capabilities

In an era where cyber threats are as critical as conventional warfare, EDGE’s investment in secure communications and electronic warfare solutions is noteworthy.

The KATIM X3M secure communication device and the SHADOW 3 counter-UAS system enhance battlefield connectivity and security. These innovations ensure that armed forces maintain operational superiority in an environment increasingly dominated by electronic warfare and unmanned aerial threats.

Additionally, the BORDER SHIELD surveillance system offers advanced monitoring capabilities, strengthening national security measures.

EDGE’s Track Record of Success

Since its establishment, EDGE has rapidly emerged as a formidable force in the global defence industry, securing high-profile contracts and partnerships worldwide.

The company has successfully delivered advanced solutions to military forces in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, strengthening its reputation as a reliable defence supplier.

Notably, EDGE’s GARMOOSHA UAV and RABDAN 8×8 vehicles have been adopted by several national defence forces, demonstrating their operational effectiveness.

The development of the AL TARIQ-guided munition further showcases EDGE’s ability to produce precision-strike capabilities. With continued investment in R&D and cutting-edge technology, EDGE is setting new standards for defence innovation and strategic autonomy.

Expanding Global Reach and Sovereignty

As part of its long-term strategy, EDGE is strengthening the UAE’s defence sovereignty by reducing reliance on foreign suppliers and boosting domestic production capabilities. The company’s latest technological breakthroughs position the UAE as a key player in the global defence industry.

Through international collaborations and export-driven initiatives, EDGE aims to expand its market presence, offering advanced yet cost-effective defence solutions to global customers. By maintaining competitive pricing and rapid deployment strategies, EDGE continues to challenge traditional defence manufacturers.

EDGE’s Vision for the Future

The unveiling at IDEX 2025 marks a major step in EDGE’s mission to revolutionize modern warfare. With a strong emphasis on AI, automation, and multi-domain capabilities, the company is paving the way for future defence innovations.

As geopolitical security concerns evolve, EDGE’s cutting-edge solutions will play a crucial role in enhancing national and international defence capabilities.
