UAE’s EDGE will make its second appearance at the upcoming International Defence Exhibition (IDEX 2023), and the Naval Defence Exhibition (NAVDEX 2023).
EDGE will have the largest presence at the event and is the official Strategic Partner for the event.
EDGE aims to significantly up-scale UAE-made future technology and defence capabilities and will showcase over 100 state-of-the-art products, solutions, and services in the areas of autonomous systems, smart weapons, land systems, naval systems, arms and ammunition, electronic warfare, secure communications and precision engineering.
Mansour AlMulla, Managing Director and CEO of EDGE, said: “This will be EDGE’s second participation at IDEX since launching three years ago, and the event this year will be the perfect opportunity for us to fully demonstrate the phenomenal progress EDGE has made in a relatively short period of time. The diverse range of technologically advanced products and solutions now available from across our portfolio of 20 companies is testament to these achievements.
“As we continue to bolster our sovereign capabilities, and expand our global footprint through exports and valuable partnerships, IDEX remains the most effective platform for EDGE to demonstrate its high quality innovative offerings across the air, land, sea, and cyber domains, with a clear focus on Autonomous and Unmanned systems, Smart Weapons and Electronic Warfare.”
EDGE is focusing on developing sophisticated autonomous and unmanned systems and will be showcasing the QX family of autonomous loitering munitions, GARMOOSHA rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and SCORPIO unmanned ground vehicles (UGV).

Land Systems on display include the AJBAN and HAFEET ranges of tactical military vehicles, and the RABDAN 8x8 Ambulance variant. Under Naval Systems, EDGE will display a broad portfolio of ADSB’s inshore and offshore patrol vessels, and tactical interceptors.
Featured in the Arms & Ammunition domain will be a full range of CARACAL’s high-quality firearms as well as LAHAB DEFENCE SYSTEMS medium and large calibre munitions.
