EDGE’s showcase includes unmanned systems, cybersecurity, electronic warfare, and smart weapons
EDGE Group, one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defence groups, will mark its first participation at FIDAE 2026, Chile, expanding its presence in Latin America. From 7 to 12 April, EDGE will showcase a broad portfolio of cutting-edge solutions across air, land, and cyber domains, reflecting its integrated, multi-domain approach to modern defence.
Omar Al Zaabi, President of EDGE Commercial, said: “Our debut at FIDAE highlights EDGE’s expanding role in Latin America’s defence technology landscape. Building on our existing partnerships in the region, EDGE has positioned itself to offer highly disruptive systems while supporting local economic growth and technology development opportunities.”
Air Domain: Unmanned Systems and Precision Munitions
In the air domain, EDGE will showcase unmanned aerial systems (UASs) for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), alongside loitering systems and precision-guided munitions (PGMs). A key highlight will be the HT-100 unmanned helicopter and REACH-S medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) UAS.
Land and Cyber: Armoured Mobility and Secure Comms
On land, EDGE will present its AJBAN MK2 and HAFEET MK2 armoured vehicles, engineered for mobility and protection across diverse terrains. For digital security, the group will feature KATIM’s suite of ultra-secure communications systems tailored to mission-critical applications, safeguarding networks against emerging cyber threats.
Electronic Warfare and Border Protection
In electronic warfare, EDGE demonstrates systems to protect operations in contested environments. Highlights include the BORDERSHIELD autonomous border surveillance system, along with GPS PROTECT 2 and GPS PROTECT 4 anti-jamming solutions. The display will also feature non-lethal technologies for public safety.
The Group’s debut at FIDAE follows a recent Letter of Intent with the Ministry of National Defence of Ecuador to deliver a major security infrastructure programme focused on modernising surveillance and strengthening border protection.
Visitors can explore EDGE’s portfolio at booth B124, Pavilion B.
