Edge Group

Edge Group (Arabic: مجموعة إيدج) is an Emirati advanced technology and defence conglomerate comprising 25 companies involved in military and civilian products, and technologies.

Edge was reported to be among the top three manufacturers and suppliers of precision guided munitions in 2024. According to Defense News, Edge Group was the 24th largest defence contractor in the world as of July 2021, although it does not appear in the updated Defense News Top 100 list for 2024.

Edge Group was established on 5 November 2019 by Faisal Al Bannai, and has more than 25 entities from the Emirates Defence Industries Company (EDIC), Emirates Advanced Investments Group (EAIG), and Tawazun Holding. It employs approximately 12,000 employees.

Edge was the official Advanced Technology Partner at the Dubai Airshow 2019. Edge's 11 participating entities showcased their range of capabilities, which included unmanned aerial vehicles, and long-range munitions including the UAE-made ADASI RW-24. AMMROC also announced its plan to open a maintenance facility at Al Ain International Airport.

Edge entity HALCON signed a US$1 billion contract in November 2019 to supply its Desert Sting precision guided missiles to UAE Armed Forces.

GAL, part of Edge's Mission Support cluster, signed a contract with Kenya's Ministry of Defence to provide MRO services to the Kenyan Air Force, as well as an AED 3.5 billion support contract with the UAE's Joint Aviation Command.

Edge joined Tawdheef, the UAE's leading event for Emiratisation, and the second edition of the biennial Mohamed bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge 2020, as the official Advanced Technology Partner in January 2020.

Edge's ADASI also launched its made-in-the-UAE VTOL drone at the UMEX exhibition in February 2020.
