The event marked EDGE’s debut at the exhibition and underlined the group’s expanding strategic focus on the Balkans and the broader Central and Eastern European markets.
The biennial event, supported by Serbia’s Ministry of Defence, brought together high-level delegations, senior government officials, and representatives from NATO, the European Defence Agency, and other international defence and security organisations to explore the latest innovations in artillery and missile systems, armoured vehicles, electronic warfare, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), radars, simulators, and naval platforms.
EDGE showcased a comprehensive portfolio of defence solutions spanning air systems, precision-guided munitions, electro-optics, radar, electronic warfare, and non-lethal technologies.
Air Domain Capabilities
In the air domain, EDGE presented its SHADOW 25 and SHADOW 50 loitering unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems, which were designed to deliver rapid, precision strikes against fixed targets. Alongside these, ANAVIA’s HT-100 long-range, heavy-lift, multi-role vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) UAV was displayed, optimised for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), logistics, search and rescue, and infrastructure monitoring operations.
The group also featured its RASH 1M, RASH 2M, and RASH 2H precision-guided munitions, developed for patrol missions, border protection, and neutralising high-value threats. In addition, the THUNDER family of aerial munition guidance kits, including the THUNDER P-31, THUNDER P-32, and THUNDER P-34, was highlighted, offering cost-effective short-range strike capabilities.
Electro-Optics
On the electro-optics front, EDGE showcased the KASHIF 600 and KASHIF 700 lightweight stabilised, gimballed tactical systems for UAVs and ground robotics. It also demonstrated the MIRSAD-X and MIRSAD NG surveillance and targeting systems, as well as the TAWAQ-S and TAWAQ-X 3D surveillance radars.
Electronic Warfare
In electronic warfare, EDGE displayed a wide range of advanced solutions, including the BORDERSHIELD autonomous border surveillance and security system, the GPS-PROTECT 2 anti-jamming platform for GPS receivers, and the SKYSHIELD-N counter-UAS system, which combined jamming and spoofing capabilities to deliver reliable point defence.
Non-Lethal Technologies
EDGE also showcased its extensive portfolio of non-lethal technologies and ammunition. These included the CONDOR DROP remote cartridge air-drop system and the COP-EYE body camera, which featured integrated facial and OCR recognition technologies, among other advanced systems.
