FADA, an EDGE Group entity dedicated to advancing the UAE’s sovereign space capabilities, has launched TACTICA, an AI-powered intelligence platform, at IDEX 2025. Designed to process multi-source intelligence—including satellite imagery, signals intelligence, sensor data, and open-source information—TACTICA enables real-time analysis and decision-making, showcasing EDGE’s leadership in AI-driven defence solutions.
TACTICA integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI (GenAI) to revolutionize situational awareness, operational intelligence, and strategic planning across defence, security, education, and critical infrastructure. Leveraging Falcon, the UAE’s open-source Large Language Model (LLM) developed by the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the platform delivers real-time geospatial insights, dynamic visualizations, and seamless voice-command interactions. Its advanced analytics empower users to make precise, data-driven decisions in complex operational environments, ensuring mission success with greater speed and efficiency.
