EDGE Group, one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defence groups, will mark its first participation at FIDAE 2026 in Chile, expanding its presence in Latin America. From 7 to 12 April, EDGE will showcase a broad portfolio of cutting-edge solutions across air, land, and cyber domains, reflecting its integrated, multi-domain approach to modern defence.
Omar Al Zaabi, President of EDGE Commercial, said: “Our debut at FIDAE highlights EDGE’s expanding role in Latin America’s defence technology landscape. Building on our existing partnerships in the region, EDGE has positioned itself to offer highly disruptive systems while supporting local economic growth and technology development opportunities. Chile presents a unique operational environment, with an extensive and diverse geography that demands integrated approaches to surveillance and security. In this context, we are focused on providing a broad portfolio of the latest force-multiplying technology that enables our customers to achieve their national and civil security objectives.”
In the air domain, EDGE will showcase unmanned aerial systems (UASs) for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), as well as loitering systems and precision-guided munitions (PGMs). Key highlights will include the HT-100 unmanned helicopter and the REACH-S medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) UAS.
On land, EDGE will showcase its AJBAN MK2 and HAFEET MK2 armoured vehicles, designed for mobility, protection, and operational effectiveness across various terrains.
EDGE will offer cyber defence and secure communications solutions that support resilient, protected operations and defend networks against digital threats. This includes KATIM’s suite of ultra-secure communications systems designed for mission-critical applications.
In electronic warfare, EDGE showcases systems designed to safeguard operations in contested electromagnetic environments. Highlights include the BORDERSHIELD autonomous border surveillance and security system, as well as the GPS PROTECT 2 and GPS PROTECT 4 anti-jamming solutions.
The display will also feature non-lethal technologies for public safety and civil security operations.
The Group’s debut participation at FIDAE is the latest development in an ongoing partnership with regional security forces and organisations. Earlier this month, EDGE signed a Letter of Intent with the Ministry of National Defence of Ecuador to deliver a major security infrastructure programme to modernise surveillance systems and strengthen border protection capabilities.
