2. Radar Systems
The group will unveil advanced radar systems capable of providing comprehensive situational awareness across air, land, and maritime domains. These systems are designed to detect and track multiple targets simultaneously, enhancing operational effectiveness. The radar systems feature low side-lobe antenna characteristics, fast-beam agility, and scanning capabilities, making them suitable for integration with various platforms.
3. Electronic Warfare Platforms
EDGE’s electronic warfare solutions aim to disrupt and neutralize enemy communications and radar systems. These platforms are integral to modern defense strategies, providing a tactical edge in complex operational environments. The electronic warfare systems are designed to operate in contested environments, offering capabilities such as jamming, deception, and denial of service.
4. Precision-Guided Munitions
The exhibition will feature EDGE’s RASH series of precision-guided munitions—RASH 1M, RASH 2M, and RASH 2H—designed for patrol missions and border protection. These munitions are equipped with advanced guidance systems, ensuring accurate targeting and minimal collateral damage. Additionally, the THUNDER P series aerial munition guidance kits (P-31, P-32, P-34) will be showcased, offering cost-effective short-range strike capabilities against high-value threats.
Strategic Implications for EDGE Group
Participating in Partner 2025 underscores EDGE Group’s commitment to expanding its international footprint and forging strategic partnerships in the defense sector.
