Connected Capabilities for Strategic Advantage
2 June 2026Connected Capabilities for Strategic Advantage
Today’s battlespaces span multiple domains where evolving threats and interconnected systems demand faster, more integrated responses. Operational success now depends on seamlessly connecting capabilities across domains to enhance precision, agility, and mission effectiveness.
EDGE is advancing a multi-domain approach to defence through integrated technologies built for modern operational requirements. At Eurosatory 2026, EDGE will highlight a focused selection of solutions tailored specifically to end-users’ requirements, spanning autonomous systems, smart weapons, propulsion technologies, secure communications, and space capabilities.
Highlighted solutions include the SKYSHIELD QD counter-unmanned aerial solution (C-UAS), the GATEWAY portfolio of network encryptors, and the SHADOW 25 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), demonstrating the growing importance of integrated multi-domain capability in addressing today’s defence and security challenges.
SKYSHIELD QD: Rapid deployment. Secure airspace.
With the proliferation of unauthorised and hostile drone activity, securing national airspace requires agile, rapidly deployable counter-UAS capabilities. SKYSHIELD QD is a mobile, fully self-contained C-UAS solution designed to deliver responsive protection in dynamic and contested environments.
Mounted on a tactical vehicle, SKYSHIELD QD enables rapid repositioning across both on-road and off-road locations, while also supporting fixed deployment operations through an external power option.
Integrating radar, electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors, and direction-finding systems, SKYSHIELD QD combines detection, identification, and electronic attack capabilities to provide enhanced real-time situational awareness for drone threats at ranges of up to 10 km.
Its advanced RF interference and GNSS spoofing capabilities over a wide 400-6000 MHz bandwidth, interrupt command-and-control links, forcing hostile drones to lose control, abort missions, or leave protected areas.
By enhancing situational awareness and enabling decisive counter-drone responses, SKYSHIELD QD extends persistent protection across dynamic and high-risk environments.
KATIM GATEWAY: Protected networks. Mission continuity.
Securing the airspace is only one dimension of dominance. In today’s contested environments, superiority also depends on the ability to transmit sensitive data without interruption or compromise.
The GATEWAY portfolio of post-quantum-resistant network encryptors enables resilient communication and protected data exchange across mission-critical operations, ensuring data remains secure and accessible even in the most high-risk environments.
Built for large-scale deployment, GATEWAY 9011 delivers ultra-secure encryption for cloud infrastructures, 5G networks, and exponential growth in data sharing.
Designed for small offices and remote locations, GATEWAY 9001 combines robust network encryption with a compact, portable form factor, using KATIM’s hardened peer authentication, key exchange, and tunnelling protocols.
Fully ruggedised for the most demanding environments and in-motion deployments, GATEWAY 9001-R enables secure bulk transfers, as well as video and voice applications, allowing customers to share complex data at scale.
Together, these systems secure IP-based communications at scale, enabling customers to deploy next-generation security, maintain business continuity, and safeguard their reputation in high-risk environments.
SHADOW 25: Jet speed. Precision strike.
In high-tempo operations, superiority hinges on the ability to project force at speed and with precision. SHADOW 25 is a jet-powered loitering munition that delivers precision-strike capability against fixed targets.
With a reach of up to 250 km and speeds of 400 km/h, it enables rapid response against time-sensitive and fast-moving threats across large operational areas.
SHADOW 25’s 60-minute endurance provides persistent coverage over target areas, supporting surveillance, target confirmation, and strike execution. Its onboard video navigation and advanced guidance system deliver real-time target identification and precision engagement, supporting operators in dynamic scenarios.
Designed for mission scalability, SHADOW 25 supports multiple launch capabilities with rocket-assisted take-off from a truck-mounted or trailer launcher, enabling rapid deployment and a reduced launch footprint. Coordinated flight path planning allows for saturated attacks on designated fixed targets, increasing mission success.
Enabling superior coordination for multi-domain advantage
Together, these capabilities demonstrate how integrated systems can enable faster decision-making, coordinated responses, and operational effectiveness across increasingly complex battlespaces. Through scalable, mission-driven technologies, EDGE strengthens the connected capabilities required for true multi-domain superiority.
