EDGE, one of the world’s leading advanced technology companies and defense groups, has signed a strategic letter of intent with the Brazilian Navy, through the Navy’s Weapons Systems Directorate, detailing the joint development of anti-drone systems.
The next phase will involve establishing a joint working group, comprising technical experts from both parties, to advance the established partnership.
According to the statement, the objective of this cooperation is to develop and deploy counter-drone systems tailored to naval defense needs, with a focus on autonomous surface and aerial technologies.
These systems will incorporate advanced sensors, such as radars and electro-optical technologies, combined with signal jamming capabilities to effectively neutralize threats from autonomous air and surface vehicles.
The document between EDGE and Brazilian Navy was signed at LAAD Defense and Security 2025, currently being held at the Riocentro Exhibition and Convention Centre in Rio de Janeiro.
This milestone represents a continued commitment to strengthening technical, operational, and logistical cooperation with the Brazilian Navy, with a shared focus on advancing sophisticated anti-drone systems for naval applications.
