EDGE is boosting its counter-drone arsenal with the Allag-E electric interceptor, a compact, high-speed system built to tackle today’s fastest, most agile threats.
Seen at the Dubai Airshow 2025, the weapon features an all-composite airframe with a cylindrical fuselage and delta wings.
Standout design elements include winglets extending from both sides of each wingtip and symmetrically placed electric ducted fans, one above and one below the tail.
Unlike earlier publicly shown versions with side-by-side fans on the upper tail, the new layout reportedly enhances balance and maneuverability, enabling more precise drone engagements.
Built for the Intercept
The Allag-E measures 700mm in wingspan and 900mm in length, with a maximum takeoff weight of 8.5 kilograms (18.7 pounds), keeping it compact enough for agile, low‑altitude strikes.
Powered by dual electric ducted fans, it can exceed 250 kilometers (155 miles) per hour, giving it the speed to chase down fast-moving aerial targets.
It can also engage targets up to 15 kilometers (9 miles) away and deliver a lethal blast radius of over 5 meters (16 feet) with 10-meter (33-feet) accuracy.
To ensure effectiveness, Allag-E uses a radio frequency link for ground-guided cruise before switching to optical-flow navigation in the terminal phase, allowing it to operate effectively even in jamming-heavy environments.
Engagement Envelope
The interceptor is intended to defeat a broad range of aerial threats, from reconnaissance drones and loitering munitions to multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
It can reportedly engage targets flying at speeds of up to 200 kilometers (124 miles) per hour and at altitudes reaching 3,000 meters (9,900 feet).
To destroy those targets, Allag-E carries a 1.7-kilogram (3.7-pound) warhead fitted with a fragmentation, cutting disk-type charge and a proximity sensor.
The design is intended to maximize kill probability against small and medium UAVs, even during near‑miss engagements.
