EDGE kicked off Dubai Airshow 2025 with one of its biggest product reveals to date, rolling out 42 new systems built to boost the UAE’s defense capabilities.
The lineup stretches across autonomy, precision weapons, propulsion, space, sensors, and secure communications.
Next-Gen Autonomous Systems
Leading the autonomous slate is Omen, a hover-to-cruise autonomous air vehicle developed under the EDGE-Anduril Production Alliance. It brings Group 3 endurance and payload capacity without relying on a runway and runs on Anduril’s Lattice AI software.
JERNAS-M expands EDGE’s medium altitude, long endurance unmanned aerial system (UAS) offerings with persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance and precision-strike options.
VORTEX-E introduces a controlled counter-UAS interceptor built for low collateral risk, while STRIKE, a rugged fixed-wing weapon carrier, pushes tactical reach for medium-altitude missions.
Smart Weapons
EDGE also rolled out a new generation of smart weapons designed for longer reach and quicker adaptation.
The WSM-1 emerges as a long-range cruise strike weapon with hardened navigation and AI-assisted terminal retargeting.
DARKWING, a modular autonomous strike system, supports air or ground launch with interchangeable seekers and payloads.
THUNDER-ER upgrades legacy munitions into smart stand-off weapons, extending their reach while reducing lifecycle costs.
Advanced Propulsion
The company expanded its propulsion portfolio with new air-breathing engine families, including piston, turbine, and microjet designs, plus solid, liquid, and hybrid rocket motors.
With the unveiling, EDGE said it now supports propulsion needs for UAVs, loitering munitions, missile platforms, smart weapons, suborbital missions, and future space launch vehicles.
Space Domain Expansion
In space, EDGE launched ZENITH, a sovereign data-management platform that integrates imagery and sensor feeds from national, commercial, and allied satellites.
It centralizes tasking and data delivery to support large-scale operations, offering a unified operating picture for Earth-observation and space situational awareness missions.
Radar and Sensors
EDGE also presented new radar and intelligence systems that blend AI, digital processing, and modular design for multi-domain missions.
AL HARRIS X is a short-range active electronically scanned array radar with AI-driven classification and trajectory prediction to strengthen air-defense and counter-drone operations.
Complementing it is the AMES P reconnaissance pod, compatible with fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned platforms.
Secure Comms
Rounding out the portfolio is the KATIM GATEWAY X9000M, a pocket-sized, high-assurance network encryptor built for secure mobility.
It delivers government-grade protection and plugs directly into KATIM’s wider secure communications ecosystem.
