“EDGE is proud to once again be the Defence Technology Partner at Dubai Airshow. Our presence here as an official partner and major exhibitor underscores a national vision, ensuring the UAE thrives as a global hub of indigenous future technologies for the defence, civil aviation, and aerospace sectors. It is also a testament to the rapid progress EDGE has made since our first Dubai Airshow participation, demonstrating our significant sovereign capabilities and growing global footprint.
“We look forward to exhibiting our portfolio of unique products and solutions for the third time. As the world’s leading aerospace event, Dubai Airshow remains an ideal opportunity for EDGE to demonstrate its high-quality airspace offerings, with a clear, continued focus on autonomous and unmanned systems, smart weapons and electronic warfare.”
In addition to new product and service launches, EDGE will focus on sophisticated autonomous and unmanned systems, particularly its wide range of precision-guided munitions (PGMs).
