A coalition of companies is driving UAE military logistics into the future with a new Autonomous Logistics Platform (ALP).
Led by EDGE, Abu Dhabi-based Technology Innovation Institute (TII), Micropolis, and SteerAI, the platform will pair advanced, purpose-built unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) with AI to automate the transfer of materials both within and between manufacturing sites.
Its core features include fleet management, navigation and safety systems, digital twins, situational awareness, operational optimization, and advanced analytics.
Each company brings its own cutting-edge tech to the table, with Micropolis providing the core system and hardware from its M1 and M2 UGVs.
SteerAI contributes by integrating the ALP’s command-and-control layer via its CoreConnect fleet management system, giving operators a single interface to plan, execute, and monitor missions.
In addition, TII will use TACTICAai to fuse multi-domain data and transform raw information into actionable operational insight.
Joint Innovation
The collaboration was officially sealed at UMEX and SimTEX 2026, setting the stage for scalable, resilient autonomous logistics.
Together, the four firms aim to deliver end-to-end capabilities, combining hardware, AI, and software to transform military material handling.
“We are partnering with the UAE’s growing autonomous ecosystem to champion the development of advanced manufacturing systems,” said Bader Al Jaberi, vice president for industrialization technologies at EDGE Bridge.
“This Collaboration Agreement marks a significant step forward in our mission to build sovereign, end-to-end autonomous capabilities, from advanced research to industrial-scale manufacturing.”
