The group showcases its diverse product portfolio, with a clear focus on autonomous systems and smart weapons, highlighting EDGE's technologically advanced defense solutions and products to the European market, and for new commercial and security partnerships.
DEFEA 2023 occurs under the auspices of the Ministry of Defence – General Directorate for Defence Investments and Armaments (GDDIA), covering the defense industry and national security.
It is attended by international delegations, distinguished guests, government officials, senior executives, and high-ranking military personnel from Greece, Europe, the Balkans, the Middle East, and the wider Eastern Mediterranean.
Five of EDGE's portfolio companies display a wide range of advanced solutions and products covering the domains of autonomous air and land systems, naval systems, precision-guided munitions, and small arms.
In the domain of autonomous air systems, EDGE showcases the HUNTER SP (Soldier Portable) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the tube-launched HUNTER 2-S swarming UAV system, and the REACH-S unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV).
The Shadow 25 loitering munition is also displayed, along with the GARMOOSHA rotary-wing UAV. Land systems and solutions are represented by NIMR's LRSOV, a special operations vehicle.
