EDGE integrates autonomous vessels and counter-drone systems in demo with UAE and U.S navies (opens in a new tab)
EDGE demonstrated integrated autonomous systems for the UAE and U.S. navies, combining unmanned surface vessels, AI-driven command-and-control, and counter-drone defenses under a unified command structure. The exercise used TACTICA AI’s Naval Warfare C2 Centre, HADAF targeting systems, and assets like the M-DETECTOR vessel and VORTEX-E interceptor to enhance interoperability. GPS anti-jamming and multispectral sensors supported detection and tracking during reconnaissance and force protection missions. The collaboration aimed to improve coordination between allied forces through shared autonomy and operational experience.
