EDGE Dubai Airshow 2025 is now one of EDGE’s biggest launch platforms. The group is unveiling 42 new products and solutions. They cover autonomous systems, smart weapons, propulsion, space, radar and secure communications. The show also marks a key moment in the company’s growth story. It comes six years after its first appearance at the same venue.
At Dubai Airshow 2025, EDGE is presenting 150 products drawn from a portfolio of about 250 systems. This range shows how quickly the group has moved from a national consolidation project. Today it positions itself as a global defence and technology player. More than half of EDGE’s current revenue now comes from exports, which confirms a clear international focus.

From 2019 debut to export led player
Dubai Airshow hosted the first public appearance of EDGE in 2019. At that time the company fielded around 30 products. The message then focused on consolidation of national capabilities under one industrial umbrella. Now EDGE Dubai Airshow 2025 carries a different signal. The group is using the show to highlight scale, export reach and speed of innovation.
Hamad Al Marar, Managing Director and CEO of EDGE Group, underlines this shift. He notes that what started as a bold idea has become a global force. His comments also stress the role of people, trusted partners and an ambition to lead advanced technology and defence. The narrative is simple yet strategic. EDGE wants to be seen as a primary supplier, not a niche add on.
Autonomous systems at the centre
Autonomous systems provide the most visible story at EDGE Dubai Airshow 2025. New air vehicles and interceptors show how the company views future combat operations. The focus lies on speed, software and the ability to scale production. These themes are also shaping demand from armed forces worldwide.
Omen and the EDGE–Anduril alliance
Omen sits at the heart of this portfolio. It is a hover to cruise autonomous air vehicle designed for flexible missions. The platform has been developed under the new EDGE Anduril Production Alliance. Through this alliance, EDGE gains access to Anduril’s Lattice software platform. Lattice provides AI driven command and control for complex fleets of uncrewed systems.
In practice this means Omen and future systems can share a common autonomy stack. Operators can manage mixed teams of aircraft with a single software layer. New features can move from code to fielded capability in shorter cycles. For customers, this reduces integration risk and lifecycle cost.
Filling operational gaps with JERNAS M, VORTEX E and STRIKE
EDGE Dubai Airshow 2025 also features several complementary unmanned systems. JERNAS M is a compact medium altitude, long endurance UAV. It is designed for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and precision strike. The airframe suits commanders who need persistent coverage without large air bases.
VORTEX E targets the counter drone mission. The system is designed to intercept hostile drones with high precision. It seeks to minimise collateral damage and protect critical infrastructure. STRIKE, a fixed wing weapon carrier, extends tactical reach at medium altitude. It offers a low signature option for delivering guided weapons over distance.
Together these systems show a clear design approach. EDGE is not only building platforms. It is building a layered autonomous toolkit that supports defensive and offensive tasks.
Smart weapons and propulsion close the kill chain
The smart weapons revealed at EDGE Dubai Airshow 2025 follow three clear goals. Each system must be cost effective. It must reach the field quickly. Performance against modern air defence and electronic warfare threats is essential.
WSM 1 provides a long range cruise strike option. It gives commanders a way to engage high value targets from outside dense threat rings. DARKWING is a modular autonomous strike system. It can be configured for air or ground launch and fitted with different seekers and payloads. THUNDER ER converts legacy munitions into stand off weapons. This approach helps users extend the life of existing inventories.
Behind these systems sits a broad propulsion effort. EDGE is expanding its portfolio of piston, turbine, microjet and hybrid engines. It is also developing solid, liquid and hybrid rocket motors. These technologies support UAVs, loitering munitions, missile platforms and suborbital missions. They also lay a foundation for future space launch options.
By presenting smart weapons and propulsion together, EDGE Dubai Airshow 2025 sends a clear message. The company wants tighter control over critical subsystems. That control supports cost, schedule and export flexibility across the product line.
Space, radar and secure communications as enablers
Space is now a central part of many defence programmes. EDGE is responding to this demand with ZENITH. ZENITH is a sovereign operations and data orchestration platform. It brings together data from national, commercial and allied space assets in one environment.
Mission teams can use ZENITH to see a single operational picture. They can search, task and manage large Earth observation and space awareness campaigns. Use cases range from maritime domain awareness to disaster response and space surveillance. In each case the aim is the same. Turn raw space data into faster and better decisions.
On the sensing side, EDGE Dubai Airshow 2025 highlights new radar systems. The AL HARRIS X short range AESA radar is designed for air defence and counter drone missions. It uses digital processing and smart classification to reduce operator workload. The AMES P airborne reconnaissance pod adds precision signal detection and geolocation. It provides electronic support functions for crewed and uncrewed aircraft.
Secure communications complete the picture. KATIM GATEWAY X9000M is a pocket-sized network encryptor. It offers government grade protection in a highly mobile device. The unit is fully interoperable with existing KATIM systems. It enables secure data mobility for users who must move and communicate at the same time.
What EDGE Dubai Airshow 2025 signals for the market
EDGE Dubai Airshow 2025 shows how fast new players can climb the value chain. Strong national investment and a clear export focus help drive this speed. In less than a decade, EDGE has moved from consolidation to competition with long established primes.
The focus on autonomy, modular smart weapons, propulsion and space mirrors global demand. Allies and partners want resilient supply chains and diverse sources of munitions and uncrewed systems. They also need secure digital infrastructure that can survive electronic and cyber attack. EDGE is aiming to meet that demand set.
For defence planners and industry observers, one point stands out. The 42 new products are not isolated. They are designed to work together across sensors, shooters and networks. That integrated approach may define the next phase of EDGE’s growth beyond Dubai Airshow 2025.
