EDGE, one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defense groups, and CS Group have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in order to collaborate on an advanced tactical communications project.
The Memorandum of Understanding was signed during the 2025 International Paris Airshow by Waleid Al Mesmari, President of Space & Cyber Technologies at EDGE, and Pierre Lopez, CEO of CS Group. The agreement sets the stage for integrating an operational command system with a tactical data network, paving the way for the development of a world-class sovereign solution.
According to the statement, EDGE’s Space & Cyber Technologies Cluster would lead the collaboration with CS Group to co-develop advanced technologies as part of a broader strategic initiative to strengthen multi-domain digital battlespace capabilities.
The MoU is the latest development in EDGE’s drive to develop and produce innovative and ultra-secure communication systems for armed forces, governments, and businesses seeking reliable and highly secure communication solutions in the most challenging operational environments.
Last week, EDGE and Thales signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enhance cooperation in the production and maintenance of Thales’ advanced electro-optic systems. The MoU supports the shared commitment of both parties to strengthen the UAE’s sovereign defense capabilities and localize key technologies through sustainable in-country industrial solutions.
