EDGE Group

EDGE is an advanced technology group for defence and security, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It launched in November 2019 to develop agile solutions for defence and beyond. EDGE brings more than 35 entities together in six clusters: Platforms and Systems, Missiles and Weapons, Space and Cyber Technologies, EDGE Commercial, Technology and Industrialisation, and Homeland Security.

The group focuses on Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies, such as autonomous capabilities, cyber-physical systems, advanced propulsion, robotics and smart materials. It works with frontline operators and international partners. It aims to build sovereign capabilities for national security and for export.

In air platforms, EDGE builds the next generation of airborne platforms and systems. Its HUNTER 2-S is a fixed-wing, tube-launched loitering munition with a 50 km communication range, 45 minutes of endurance and an electric engine. It flies on its own to a target area, and a remote pilot controls engagement. The SHADOW 25 is a jet-powered loitering UAV with 60 minutes of endurance and a 100 km link range. EDGE's autonomous systems arm, ADASI, was awarded a contract to supply SHADOW systems to the UAE armed forces in 2023.

Other solutions include missiles and weapons, land systems with armoured vehicles, naval platforms, electronic warfare, AI sensors, space, and cyber defence with secure communications. Sub-systems cover turbojet engines, fuzes, TV seekers, actuator systems and warheads.

EDGE also offers services. Training and services include firefighting and rescue services, helicopter pilot training and shooting ranges. Precision engineering makes complex components for the aerospace, defence and commercial industries. MRO services keep land and naval forces ready for operations.

Recent news shows the group's growth. In October 2026 it completed the acquisition of CMD to build a European propulsion hub in Italy. It also signed a cooperation with SFC Energy on tactical fuel cells and hybrid power, and it reached full-rate production on an automated 40mm ammunition line.
