EDGE Unveils Advanced Electronic Warfare And Radar Systems At IDEX 2025

EDGE, a UAE-based defense and technology group, introduced a new range of electronic warfare (EW), radar, and electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) systems at the International Defence Exhibition & Conference 2025 (IDEX 2025), which is being held in Abu Dhabi.

These advanced systems mark a major expansion of EDGE's product line, strengthening its role in high-performance sensor and electromagnetic technologies essential for modern military operations, WAM reported.

As part of this launch, EDGE unveiled its most advanced radars and EO/IR systems, further expanding its all-domain capabilities. In the radar category, EDGE introduced the NEMUS family—multi-threat active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars designed for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions.

In the field of electronic warfare (EW), EDGE launched two new versions of its GPS PROTECT GNSS anti-jamming system—the GPS PROTECT-4 and GPS PROTECT-8. These systems utilize advanced digital signal processing and array antenna technology to protect GNSS receivers from radio-frequency (RF) interference.

EDGE also introduced next-generation 3D radars, including the TAWAQ family of ground radars, which featured advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

Additionally, EDGE showcased its MIRSAD family of EO/IR systems, designed for high-precision surveillance and targeting across air, naval, and ground operations. These systems used advanced imaging, tracking, and laser designation technologies to improve situational awareness and operational performance, even in complex environments.

The group also unveiled two new versions of its SKYSHIELD counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS). The SKYSHIELD-N (Naval) was designed for maritime use, while the SKYSHIELD-T (Trailer-mounted) offered mobility on land.

Both systems detect drones and jam their command-and-control (C2) signals across the entire GNSS spectrum. EDGE also introduced BORDERSHIELD at IDEX 2025, a new surveillance system designed to enhance border security.

Using AI technology, BORDERSHIELD can automatically detect drones, people, and vehicles up to 15 km away. It combines a high-power cellular system (covering GSM, UTMS, LTE, and 5G NSA frequencies), a thermal optical camera, a high-resolution radar, and a command-and-control (C2) system to provide continuous real-time monitoring.

The group's expansion into electronic warfare, radar, and EO/IR technologies is supported by its newly formed Technology & Innovation (T&I) cluster. This initiative brings together expertise to drive innovation, improve production through specialized Centres of Excellence, and turn advanced research into practical solutions.
