During a Press Tour organized by EDGE Group for a select group of international journalists, held this week in the United Arab Emirates, we learned that series production of the MIRSAD-X will begin next year. It is the first surveillance, tracking and targeting system developed and produced in the UAE. It comes from EDGE’s Electro-Optics Centre of Excellence (EOCE).
The system is designed for both naval and land applications. It provides surveillance and tracking of threats such as drones, vehicles and individuals, as well as target acquisition and designation. Testing has been underway for 2 years. At sea, the system has been tested aboard ships through a partnership with Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB). On land, it has been mounted on the AJBAN 4x4 vehicle built by NIMR. Both companies are part of EDGE Group.
Testing on the AJBAN has been running continuously for 7 months. These trials have shown that the system keeps performing its functions while the vehicle is on the move.
The MIRSAD-X weighs 70 kg. It integrates an IR camera, a TV camera, a short-wave IR spotter, a laser designator and a laser rangefinder.
