EDGE and Indra to design and manufacture radars in Abu Dhabi

Located in Abu Dhabi, the project will be supported by a robust order pipeline from existing and potential customers in high-potential markets worldwide.

Speaking at the official signing ceremony at the Spanish Ministry for Defence in Madrid, H.E. Faisal Al Bannai, Chairman of EDGE, said: “The establishment of PULSE marks a transformative milestone in advancing the global defence landscape by delivering state-of- the-art radar systems. This joint venture between EDGE and Indra addresses critical capability gaps, showcasing the power of innovation and technology transfer to enhance operational excellence and global security. It reflects our dedication to building meaningful partnerships that drive progress and foster stability across key regions.”

Marc Murtra, Chairman of Indra, stated: "This agreement, in partnership with EDGE, will provide next-generation radar systems. It will include advanced research infrastructure, laboratories, and testing facilities, all based in the United Arab Emirates. This is an important step that will enable Indra to expand its global footprint and develop our valued relationship with EDGE."

The new company will focus on engineering, developing, manufacturing, integrating, and maintaining existing and future radar systems and their components, as well as marketing them in high-potential markets, thus opening up numerous international business opportunities.

The agreement will allow the creation of two companies. The first will be 50.01% owned by Indra and 49.99% by EDGE, and will focus on the development, design, integration, sales and maintenance of state-of-the-art radars. The second one, 50.01% owned by EDGE, and 49.99% by Indra, will be responsible for the manufacturing of these radars in a new state-of- the-art factory in Abu Dhabi.
