EDGE Group Unveils Powerful Electronic Warfare Suit at IDEX 2025: ABU DHABI, UAE – Defence and advanced technology group EDGE has stormed onto the scene at IDEX 2025, showcasing a formidable array of new electronic warfare (EW), radar, and electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) systems that firmly cement its position as a global leader in cutting-edge defence technology. The unveiling at the International Defence Exhibition & Conference signals a significant expansion of EDGE’s portfolio, underscoring its commitment to providing high-performance sensor and electromagnetic solutions crucial for navigating the complexities of modern operational theatres.
With a clear focus on all-domain superiority, EDGE’s presentation at IDEX 2025 goes beyond incremental upgrades, introducing entirely new families of systems designed to provide a decisive edge in intelligence gathering, situational awareness, and electronic warfare capabilities. The launch event has firmly positioned EDGE as a key innovator, ready to address the evolving challenges of contemporary and future conflicts.
In the critical domain of radar technology, EDGE Group is introducing the NEMUS family, a series of multi-threat active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars. Engineered for a broad spectrum of intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) operations, the NEMUS radars represent a leap in detection and tracking capabilities. AESA technology, known for its enhanced performance, reliability, and versatility compared to traditional radar systems, allows for rapid beam steering, multi-functionality, and increased resistance to jamming – all vital attributes in today’s congested and contested electromagnetic environment. The NEMUS family promises to be a cornerstone of future ISTAR operations, providing armed forces with superior situational understanding across diverse operational landscapes.
Complementing the NEMUS series, EDGE is also launching the next generation of TAWAQ ground radars, a family of 3D radars that further enhance the group’s ground-based surveillance and air defence portfolio. What sets the new TAWAQ family apart is the integration of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. This AI infusion promises to streamline data processing, enhance target identification, and reduce operator workload, enabling faster and more accurate threat assessments. 3D radars are essential for providing comprehensive airspace surveillance, detecting targets at various altitudes and ranges, and the AI augmentation positions the TAWAQ family at the forefront of intelligent radar systems.

Beyond radar, EDGE is significantly bolstering its electro-optical and infrared capabilities with the MIRSAD family of advanced EO/IR systems. Designed for high-precision surveillance and targeting across air, naval, and ground domains, the MIRSAD systems are packed with cutting-edge imaging, tracking, and laser designation technologies. These advancements directly translate to enhanced situational awareness and operational effectiveness, particularly in complex and cluttered environments where visual and thermal signatures become crucial for target detection and engagement. The MIRSAD family promises to provide operators with crystal-clear imagery and precise targeting data, even in adverse weather conditions and challenging battlefield scenarios, further solidifying EDGE’s multi-domain sensor suite.
In the increasingly vital realm of Electronic Warfare, EDGE is not just keeping pace but pushing boundaries. Building on its existing expertise, the group unveiled two new variants of the GPS PROTECT GNSS anti-jamming system: the GPS PROTECT-4 and GPS PROTECT-8. These advanced iterations leverage sophisticated digital signal processing and array antenna technology to effectively safeguard users’ Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers from radio-frequency (RF) interference, a growing threat in modern electronic warfare. In a world increasingly reliant on GNSS for navigation, timing, and positioning, the GPS PROTECT systems offer a critical layer of resilience against jamming attempts, ensuring operational continuity in contested environments.

Furthermore, EDGE is expanding its counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) capabilities with two new SKYSHIELD variants: the SKYSHIELD-N (Naval) and SKYSHIELD-T (Trailer-mounted). These specialised systems are designed to address the burgeoning threat of UAS across different operational contexts. SKYSHIELD-N, tailored for naval applications, and SKYSHIELD-T, designed for mobile, trailer-based deployment, are engineered to identify unmanned aerial vehicles and, crucially, to jam their command-and-control (C2) channels across the full GNSS spectrum. The SKYSHIELD family underscores EDGE’s commitment to providing robust C-UAS solutions capable of neutralizing threats from small drones to more sophisticated unmanned aircraft, across both land and maritime domains.
Making its debut at IDEX 2025 and highlighting EDGE’s holistic approach to security, the BORDERSHIELD system is a new end-to-end surveillance solution explicitly designed for superior border security operations. This comprehensive system integrates a suite of advanced technologies, including AI-driven automatic detection capabilities for UAS, personnel, and vehicles at ranges up to 15km. BORDERSHIELD is a multi-layered system incorporating a high-power cellular system operating across various frequency bands (GMS, UTMS, LTE, and 5G NSA), a high-resolution radar, a thermal optical camera, and a sophisticated Command and Control (C2) system. This integrated approach provides real-time, persistent situational awareness, enabling border security forces to effectively monitor and control vast and challenging border regions, countering a wide range of threats from illegal crossings to sophisticated smuggling operations.

The impressive expansion of EDGE’s portfolio in electronic warfare, radar, and EO/IR technologies is strategically underpinned by the group’s newly established Technology & Innovation (T&I) cluster. This dedicated cluster serves as the engine for future innovation, designed to accelerate technological development, optimize production processes through specialized Centres of Excellence, and rapidly translate advanced research into deployable, real-world solutions. This strategic consolidation not only enhances operational efficiency and technological sovereignty but also solidifies EDGE’s position as a global leader in the fiercely competitive defence technology landscape.
EDGE’s powerhouse unveiling at IDEX 2025 is a clear demonstration of its ambition and capability to deliver state-of-the-art defence solutions. The new suite of EW, radar, and EO/IR systems not only significantly expands the group’s offerings but also signals a strategic commitment to shaping the future of defence technology, providing critical capabilities for navigating the complexities of the 21st-century operational environment and beyond.
