At IDEX 2023, NIMR a manufacturer of tactical and armored vehicles, a subdivision of EDGE Defense Group based in UAE presents its full range of new armored vehicles and unmanned systems including the 8x8 Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) concept, NIMR RCV, which is built for tactical mobility, high performance, maneuverability, and speed. Modular in design, the multi-role platform can lower lethality risks by increasing standoff distance from enemy units.

NIMR also launched a new version of its LRSOV (Long Range Security Operations Vehicle) and displayed its range of Hafeet Mk2 in 4x4 and 6x6 configurations.

The Hafeet Mk 2 has been designed to provide a multi-role platform that can be configured to perform a wide range of missions. The vehicle is available in an APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) version with a crew of two and the possibility to accommodate eight fully geared military personnel.

At IDEX 2023, Milkor UAE presents its full range of defense products in the fields of Land, Air, and Navy. On the IDEX side, Milkor displayed its medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which has an endurance of up to 30 hours and a payload capacity of 210 kg. The drone was armed with Desert Sting-25 guided munitions produced by the EDGE Group.

On the NAVDEX side, MILKOR UAE displayed its surveillance and reconnaissance vessel, the Milkor IPC (Inshore Patrol Craft), as well as its full range of 4x4 armored vehicles.

At IDEX 2023, Milrem Robotics which is now part of EDGE Group displayed its full range of robotic systems including the Type-X unmanned tracked combat vehicle armed with 30mm automatic cannon and Halcon’s Hunter 2S loitering munitions launchers.

Two variants of the THeMIS Combat UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) were also displayed at IDEX 2023. The THeMIS Combat UGV provides high-precision direct-fire support for maneuver units. With the self-stabilizing, dual-gun SCORPION Remotely Controlled Weapon Station (RCWS) by Saudi Advanced Technologies (Wahaj), advanced sensors and fire control system, the THeMIS Combat allows units to assess and engage the enemy at maximum standoff distances, increasing force protection and survivability. Additional security is provided with the Spexer 2000 radar, which can detect small and slow as well as fast maneuvering targets on the move and operate in a high-clutter environment.

The THeMIS Observe is built for tactical reconnaissance missions. The system includes a variety of sensors for day and night operations, acoustic gunshot detector, smoke screen protection, and a ground surveillance radar. Extra security is provided by the deFNder® Light RWS by FN Herstal. The combination of those systems allows units to do multi-sensor identification on one platform and react faster on emerging targets.
