EDGE, has thrown down the gauntlet to global defence firms at the start of its participation at Dubai Airshow 2023 by announcing the launch of and solutions adding to its impressive portfolio of over 159 systems and solutions covering multiple domains.
The new breakthrough products and systems cover a wide range of missions, including tactical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), logistics support, and sophisticated combat operations.
Mansour Al Mulla, EDGE Group Managing Director and CEO, said: “The Dubai Airshow is one of the world’s leading aerospace events and the perfect platform from which EDGE can showcase its rapidly expanding portfolio of advanced aerospace, space, and air defence products and solutions. We are proud to be the event’s Defence Technology Partner and at the biennial show at which we will be launching several new technologically-advanced systems which will compete with the best in the industry for performance as well as price-point, highlighting the extensive and diverse capabilities across the Group, and the potential for inter-operability across multiple domains, while continuing to push the boundaries of innovation and strengthening sovereign capabilities.”
Among the new systems being launched by EDGE include the new REACH-M, a fixed-wing Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) designed for ISR and light ground attack operations. The aircraft has a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 1,500 kgs and can fly for a duration of 24 hours with a maximum payload of 350 kgs.
Following EDGE’s announcement last week of its acquisition of significant shareholdings in Poland-based manufacturer of small jet aircraft, FLARIS, and Switzerland-based developer and manufacturer of innovative unmanned helicopter systems, ANAVIA, the Group is showcasing three aerial vehicles which will now be part of the Group’s autonomous aircraft portfolio - the SINYAR jet-powered aircraft, manufactured by FLARIS, which can fly at 545 kmh, at an altitude of 30,000 ft, and can carry a payload of 450 kgs; and the compact HT-100 multi-role unmanned performance helicopter, manufactured by ANAVIA for ISR and logistics missions. The HT-100 can fly for up to six hours at a speed of 120 kmh.
Eight new missile, guided munition, and jammer systems are also being introduced, including: NASEF-20 a sub-sonic, low-cost cruise missile (LCCM) launched from unmanned aircraft and designed for precision engagement against soft targets, and is guided by the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS); NASEF-125 sub-sonic cruise and anti-ship missile, capable of engaging ground and surface targets with Imaging Infrared (IIR) and active homing radar seekers and RASH-3H high-precision guided munition system capable of engaging small to medium-sized threats.
Co-developed with the Brazilian Navy, and Brazilian Smart Weapons and High-Tech System specialist, SIATT, in which EDGE has a 50 percent shareholding, EDGE has launched the all-weather, extended range National Surface Anti-Ship Missile (MANSUP-ER), developed to meet the defence requirements of both the UAE and Brazilian navies, and for international export.
