Edge Headquarters Abu Dhabi, UAE

History

The EDGE Group was established on 5 November 2019 by H.E Faisal Al Bannai, and consists of more than 25 entities from the Emirates Defence Industries Company (EDIC), Emirates Advanced Investments Group (EAIG), Tawazun Holding, and other independent organisations, to address the UAE's antiquated defence industry.[3] The Group employs a multi-cultural workforce of approximately 8,000 employees from 88 nationalities, working across its five core clusters: Platforms & Systems, Missiles & Weapons, Space & Cyber Technologies, Trading & Mission Support, and Homeland Security.[6][7][8]


EDGE was the official Advanced Technology Partner at the Dubai Airshow 2019.[9] The Group's 11 participating entities showcased their wide range of capabilities, which included unmanned aerial vehicles, and long-range munitions including the UAE-made ADASI RW-24. AMMROC also announced its plan to open a maintenance facility at to Al Ain International Airport.[10]

EDGE's entity HALCON signed a US$1 billion contract in November 2019 to deliver its Desert Sting lightweight precision guided missiles to UAE Armed Forces.[11]


Later, GAL, which was part of the Mission Support Cluster within EDGE Group, signed a contract with Kenya’s Ministry of Defence to provide MRO services to the Kenyan Air Force. GAL also signed an AED 3.5 billion support contract with the UAE’s Joint Aviation Command.[12][11]

EDGE joined Tawdheef, the UAE’s leading event for Emiratisation,[13] and the second edition of the biennial Mohamed bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge[14] 2020 (MBZIRC 2020), as the official Advanced Technology Partner in January 2020.[15]

EDGE’s ADASI also launched its made-in-the-UAE VTOL drone at the UMEX exhibition in February 2020.[16]

In December 2020, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) reported that EDGE had ranked 22nd in the world's largest arms companies list.[17] According to Pieter Wezeman, Senior Researcher with the SIPRI Arms and Military Expenditure Programme: "EDGE is a good illustration of how the combination of high national demand for military products and services with a desire to become less dependent on foreign suppliers is driving the growth of arms companies in the Middle East." The sales of arms and military services by the largest 25 companies totalled US$361 billion in 2019, with EDGE accounting for 1.3 percent of this total.[18] According to DefenseNews.com’s 2021 July report, EDGE Group is the 24th largest defence contractor in the world.[19]

On 31, 2022, Mansour AlMulla was appointed Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of EDGE Group, while H.E Faisal Al Bannai assumed the role of Chairman of the Board.[20]

In the same year, DIGITAL14, a developer of multi-sector innovative and ultra-secure communication solutions, merged into the EDGE and was rebranded as KATIM.[21]

In early 2023, EDGE disclosed that orders for its products and solutions had exceeded US$5 billion for 2022, a third of which was made up of international exports—a 500%[22] year-on-year increase. The group’s expanding global footprint now covers over 30 countries across North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

The company acquired a majority shareholding in Estonian robotic developer Milrem Robotics on 15 February 2023.[23] Milrem, Europe’s leading developer of robotics and autonomous systems, has been developing unmanned vehicles for both military and civilian use, since 2013.

At the IDEX defence exhibition held in Abu Dhabi in February 2023, EDGE announced over AED18.6 billion worth of contracts,[24][25][26] AED4 billion of which was in exports, including a landmark EUR1 billion export deal with the Angolan Navy to build a fleet of best-in-class 71 metre corvette vessels.[27][28] The group also launched 14 new products including 11 autonomous solutions.[27] Contracts with the UAE Armed Forces at IDEX 2023 totalling AED9 billion were announced for EDGE’s THUNDER and DESERT STING 25 Precision-Guided Munitions;  SHADOW 25 and SHADOW 50; and HUNTER Loitering Munitions;[26] and a contract valued at AED4 billion to provide tactical communications and data-link solutions.[26]

In March 2023, EDGE acquired UAE based Trust International Group, further fortifying its technology and defence portfolio.[29]

In April 2023, EDGE announced the opening of a regional office in the Brazilian capital, Brasilia.[30] In the same month, EDGE Group and the Brazilian Navy signed a cooperation agreement to develop anti-ship and supersonic missiles.[31][32] This was followed by the signing of a strategic partnership agreement which will see EDGE become a strategic partner of the Brazilian Navy by co-investing in the development, as well as providing advanced solutions, such as anti-jamming technology, which is developed by EDGE in the UAE. The Brazilian Navy has committed its fleet to support a full testing programme of the new missiles.

In July 2023, EDGE announced the acquisition of Abu Dhabi-based cybersecurity firm, OryxLabs[33] and the acquisition of a 100% stake in Etimad Holding,[34] a technology solutions, security, and services group, also based in the UAE capital.

In September 2023, EDGE announced the acquisition of a 50% shareholding in Brazilian Smart Weapons and High-tech System Specialist SIATT.[35] [36] [37] In October 2023, EDGE inaugurated a dedicated office in the UAE named MALATH, which will act as a catalyst for new business engagement between EDGE and SAHA companies, and deepening UAE-Türkiye defence industry cooperation. [38] [39] In November 2023, EDGE announced the acquisition of a 52% majority shareholding in Swiss VTOL manufacturer ANAVIA, and a 50% shareholding in Polish small jet aircraft manufacturer, FLARIS. [40][41] [42]

At Dubai Airshow 2023, EDGE launched 12 new systems and solutions, increasing the number of products in its portfolio to 160.[43] [44]These included several autonomous aircraft and smart weapons systems.[45]It also launched the X Range, the MENA region’s first fully comprehensive test range island, which will be available for commercial use. [46]The total value of its sales and contracts at the airshow was US$ 2.37 billion [47][48]

[49], [50]including orders for 100 of its REACH-S UAV from the UAE Ministry of Defence (MoD),[49] and major orders for the new MANSUP-ER anti-ship missile from the Brazilian Navy,[47] and from the UAE MoD.[51] The UAE MoD also announced large orders for the LAHAB solutions,[52] the ADASI GARMOOSHA unmanned helicopter,[53] and ADASI RASH-2H and 2M precision guided munitions.[54] ADSB also announced the sale of several ANAVIA HT-100 unmanned helicopters to an undisclosed international customer.[55] In December 2023, EDGE announced it has assumed full ownership of Abu Dhabi-based investment company, the Strategic Development Fund (SDF), to support and feed into the expansion of EDGE’s investments portfolio and to accelerate its international growth plan.[56]
