About EDGE Group
EDGE’s autonomous-systems portfolio is distributed across specialist businesses. ADASI designs and integrates unmanned aircraft, ground vehicles, sensors, control stations and supporting workshops, while ANAVIA develops unmanned VTOL helicopters and other entities provide weapons, communications and mission systems.
The product range includes QX-series VTOL aircraft, GARMOOSHA reconnaissance UAVs, SCORPIO ground vehicles and Phantom drone-in-a-box systems. EDGE combines design, testing, payload integration, commissioning, training and maintenance, allowing customers to procure complete air, land or maritime mission systems rather than separate vehicles.
