Edge Group is showing no fewer than 46 newly developed systems and solutions in Abu Dhabi – both at IDEX and at NAVDEX 2025 (Naval Defence & Maritime Security Exhibition), held in parallel. Among them is the Anavia HT-750, a helicopter drone.

Edge outlines the drone’s range of missions in a brief description – it is said to be a “state-of-the-art, unmanned heavy-lift rotary-wing platform for reconnaissance, surveillance and cargo transport missions”.
