EDGE’s Etimad & ELT Group Establish EW Logistics Hub

Etimad Holding and ELT Group recently signed an implementation plan to establish a UAE-based integrated logistics support (ILS) hub for Electronic Warfare (EW) systems in the UAE.

The signing of this agreement marks the beginning of the plan through which Etimad Security Strategic Solution (ESSS) will exclusively undertake the repair and maintenance of ELT’s EW systems. Additionally, they will assist ELT in synergising their capabilities to cater to the demands and requirements of their clients.

The agreement was signed by Khalid Al Ali, CEO of Etimad Group, and Enzo Benigni, Chairman and CEO of ELT Group. It was witnessed by Mansour AlMulla, Managing Director and CEO of EDGE Group.

For ELT, the localisation of logistic activities in the UAE is not limited to a pure efficiency increase of the services but represents the company’s strategy to provide the UAE with a “country technological value.”

For more than 70 years, the ELT Group has been a world leader in electronic defence systems. Thanks to innovative management of the electromagnetic spectrum, achieved through proprietary and integrated technologies, today, the brand is an international group with a multi-domain approach that also covers cyber, space and biodefence.

ELT Group is among the world’s leading providers of EW systems. It offers a state-of-the-art portfolio of proprietary technologies that integrate several capabilities into software defined systems.

This allows to perform Electronic Defence, ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance), and Asset and Information Protection in a multi-domain approach. With an open modular architecture, the company’s turnkey solutions combine diverse sensors.

Thanks to the experience gained through participation in major European defence programmes, including the Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft, the FREMM, and PPA warships, today, ELT Group is present in more than 30 countries with over 3,000 systems supplied. The company is also participating in projects to develop the sixth-generation Global Combat Air Programme.

ELT Group is headquartered in Italy but has a presence in 11 countries on three continents through sales offices and companies of strategic importance and local law in Germany and Saudi Arabia.

Also part of the ELT Group are CY4GATE, which specialises in cyber security and cyber intelligence, and E4Life, Italy’s first biodefence company.
