Brazilian Navy taps UAE partner to advance naval anti-drone cooperation

The Brazilian Navy, through its weapons systems directorate, has signed a strategic letter of intent with the UAE's Edge Group 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.

The agreement aims to develop and deploy counter-drone systems tailored to naval defence requirements, with a focus on autonomous surface and aerial systems

These systems will incorporate sensors, such as radars and electro-optical technologies, combined with signal jamming capabilities to neutralise threats from autonomous air and surface vehicles.

"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," said the Edge Group.
