United Arab Emirates’ Dark Wing Missile Enters Production
EDGE Group subsidiary ADASI is moving its UAE-developed Dark Wing cruise missile into production, with initial deliveries expected within the next few months. The turbojet-powered, modular weapon is intended for precision attack from ground or airborne launch platforms, using canister or rail launchers in its ground-based configuration. Its design accommodates different seekers and payloads, while Powertech, another EDGE company, supplies propulsion; the manufacturer has not identified the initial customers or disclosed production quantities. The announcement marks a manufacturing transition following development and testing, rather than confirmation that Dark Wing is already operational with Emirati forces.
