Edge, an advanced technology group, will tie up with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), a major aerospace and aviation manufacturer, to develop an advanced counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) tailored for the UAE market, with wider ranging benefits for the region and beyond.
IAI’s counter-unmanned aircraft system solutions are applied around the world to detect, identify and intercept a broad range of threats.
Comprising advanced 3D radar, communications intelligence and electro-optic technologies that are integrated into a unified command and control system, the C-UAS is fully autonomous, requiring no human intervention.
A series of countermeasures, ranging from soft-kill solutions such as spoofing and jamming, to hard-kill capabilities such as lasers and electromagnetic pulses, are offered based on the level of threat and targeted operating environment.
Faisal Al Bannai, CEO and Managing Director, Edge, said: “In line with the Abraham Accords and the UAE’s newly-established cooperation with Israel, it is a defining moment for us to join forces with IAI. As Edge invests extensively in autonomous capabilities, our co-development of a counter-UAS will help strengthen our advanced technology portfolio.”
Boaz Levy, president and CEO of IAI, said: “IAI is proud to join forces with Edge, to provide the UAE and wider region with a unique and advanced solution in what is a key area of expertise for IAI. This MoU serves as a stepping-stone for further business and strategic alliances between our countries and will enhance cooperation for R&D and technological innovation.”
Edge’s subsidiary SIGN4L, a leading provider of electronic warfare services and solutions for national security, will collaborate with IAI.
This collaboration marks a new era of cooperation between the two countries. Israel had for the first time participated in the recently concluded International Defence Exhibition (Idex) held in Abu Dhabi.
