EDGE integrates autonomous vessels and counter-drone systems in demo with UAE and U.S navies.
EDGE integrated autonomous maritime platforms and counter-drone equipment during a UAE Navy demonstration involving the American Navy, linking participating systems through a common command structure. TACTICA AI's Naval Warfare C2 Centre for Autonomous Systems and the UAE's HADAF targeting system supported coordination, alongside the Technology Innovation Institute's Maritime Autonomy Kit and a 17-metre 170 M-DETECTOR vessel. The defensive layer included VORTEX-E interceptors, SKYSHIELD-N naval counter-drone equipment, GPS-PROTECT anti-jamming technology, MIRSAD-X electro-optical sensors and radars. The event demonstrated reconnaissance, force protection and shared situational awareness, with human personnel defining missions and artificial intelligence supporting their execution across allied systems.
