EDGE, the UAE-based advanced technology and defence group, has launched 42 new products and solutions, including autonomous systems, smart weapons, propulsion systems, space capabilities, radar technologies, and secure communications, at Dubai Airshow 2025.
“Dubai Airshow has a special place in EDGE’s story,” said Hamad Al Marar, Managing Director and CEO, EDGE Group. “It was here in 2019 that our story began, and this year it stands as proof of how far we have advanced. From a bold idea to a global force, we’ve now launched 42 new products in a single day and more than 250 across our portfolio. We are not only meeting the needs of the local market but competing globally, with over 53 per cent of our revenue now driven by exports.”
Autonomous Systems
A future product of the newly announced EDGE-Anduril Production Alliance, Omen is a hover-to-cruise autonomous air vehicle (AAV) designed to pack the endurance, payload, and mission flexibility of much larger systems into a novel runway-independent group 3 airframe.
JERNAS-M is a compact medium altitude, long endurance (MALE) UAV for persistent ISR and precision strike that boosts situational awareness and speeds decision cycles. VORTEX-E delivers precise counter-drone interception while minimising collateral effects, while STRIKE is a rugged fixed-wing weapon carrier that extends tactical reach for medium altitude missions.
Smart Weapons
EDGE’s new suite of smart weapons includes WSM-1, a long-range cruise strike option with resilient navigation and AI-assisted terminal retargeting. DARKWING is a modular air or ground launched autonomous strike system with interchangeable seekers and payloads for rapid mission reconfiguration. THUNDER-ER converts legacy aerial munitions into smart stand-off weapons that extend operational reach while lowering lifecycle cost and simplifying sustainment.
Propulsion Systems
The Group has expanded its propulsion portfolio to include air-breathing piston, turbine, microjet engines, and a full range of solid, liquid, and hybrid rocket motors. This capability covers propulsion for UAVs, loitering munitions, and missile platforms, together with rocket engines engineered for advanced smart weapons, suborbital missions, and future space launch applications.
Space Capabilities
ZENITH is a new sovereign space operations and data orchestration platform, unifying access to multi-sensor imagery and data from national, commercial, and allied constellations. It serves as the central hub for discovery, tasking, delivery, and management of large-scale collection workflows, giving mission teams a single trusted operational picture in real time.
Radar Technologies
The AL HARRIS X is a next-generation AESA radar built for short-range air defence and counter-drone operations. The AMES P complements it as an airborne reconnaissance pod for fixed-wing, rotary, and unmanned platforms, providing high-precision signal detection, real-time geolocation, and advanced electronic support capabilities.
Secure Communications
The KATIM GATEWAY X9000M is a new pocket-sized, high-assurance network encryptor delivering secure mobility. Interoperable with existing KATIM infrastructure, it offers government-grade encryption in a compact form for secure connectivity across mission environments.
Since its launch at Dubai Airshow in 2019 with 30 products, EDGE has expanded its portfolio to 250, with 150 showcased at this year’s event.
