EDGE Group's SIATT Signs Contract For Advanced Anti-Tank Solution For Brazilian Marine Corps

EDGE Group's subsidiary, SIATT, a strategic defence company from Brazil, has secured a contract to provide a tailored anti-tank system for the Brazilian Marine Corps. This agreement was formalised at the Dubai Airshow 2025, taking place from 17th to 21st November at Dubai World Central.

The Expeditionary Anti-Tank Missile System (SMACE) will be mounted on two high-mobility 4x4 vehicles with light ballistic protection. Designed for complex terrains and challenging environments, SMACE includes the MAX 1.2 missile, known for its precision and extended range. Additionally, it features a drone platform with intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and ground-attack capabilities.

SMACE offers superior mobility and situational awareness through its networked architecture that integrates all mission-critical components. The Marine Corps Materiel Command (CMatFN) has specified tactical requirements to enable effective operations on land. These include rapid engagement and disengagement, distributed operations, long-range observation via drones, and real-time coordination of anti-tank missions using tactical data links.

Hamad Al Marar, Managing Director and CEO of EDGE, stated: "This new anti-tank solution reflects just one of several initiatives we are pursuing with the Brazilian Marine Corps. By integrating advanced guided missiles, unmanned systems, and a networked command architecture, it strengthens Brazil’s ability to counter threats while bolstering the overall capability of its armed forces. This agreement further emphasises EDGE's extensive cross-border reach and its competitive positioning within the LATAM region and at the same time highlights the long-term value of our partnership, which continues to drive innovation with impact well beyond Brazil’s borders."

Once the first system is delivered and assessed operationally in 2026, production capacity is set to double. Additional units will be manufactured in subsequent years. This initiative showcases EDGE's capability to deliver customised solutions tailored to client needs while adapting to Latin America's unique geographical dynamics.

EDGE's commitment to investing in Brazil as a key defence partner is reinforced by this project. It highlights their strategic focus on strengthening ties within the region by providing innovative defence solutions that extend beyond Brazil's borders.
