Edge Group is showcasing its growing portfolio of battlefield disruptors at the ongoing show. The Group’s portfolio of advanced weapons has doubled compared to those displayed at the previous edition of IDEX. With a focus on autonomous systems, smart weapons, cyber, and electronic warfare, nearly 220 such products are on display.
Edge is the largest exhibitor at the ongoing International Defence Exhibition (IDEX) and Naval Defence and Maritime Security Exhibition (NAVDEX). The fast growing defence conglomerate will announce several significant developments, including strategic partnerships and joint ventures with leading global industry players, alongside a broad range of new solutions.
Hamad Al Marar, Managing Director & CEO of EDGE, said: “This is by far our most advanced display to date, showcasing not only next-generation solutions but the critical technologies that power them. We have moved beyond delivering standalone systems to developing integrated, multi-domain capabilities that enhance mission effectiveness and operational superiority. From autonomous platforms and advanced sensing technologies to secure communications and counter-UAS solutions, every product we are unveiling at IDEX 2025 is designed to deliver real-world impact. By pushing the limits of technological innovation and driving synergies across our ecosystem, we are reinforcing EDGE’s position as a global leader in delivering advanced defence and security capabilities.”
Growing Portfolio
At the ongoing IDEX, Edge Group is launching several new solutions. In the air domain, this encompasses the ANAVIA HT-750 high-technology rotary-wing unmanned heavy-lift aircraft featuring Intelligence, Surveillance, And Reconnaissance (ISR) and cargo delivery capabilities; and the P145i all-weather two-stroke, six-cylinder, 1.8-litre aeronautical piston engine manufactured through the recently launched EDGE entity POWERTECH.
The new solutions being display related to the land domain include the HAVOC Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV), produced by Estonia-based MILREM ROBOTICS; and the NIMR AJBAN MK2 series with three new multi-role armoured vehicle variants (AJBAN 441AE, AJBAN 432AU, AJBAN 452A). New products being displayed in the small arms category include the CARACAL sniper rifle multi-calibre (CSRM).
EDGE has launched its new 45-metre FA-400 offshore patrol vessel, designed with full IP ownership and constructed entirely in the UAE.
