EDGE Europe, the Paris-based European company of the EDGE group, has signed a memorandum of understanding with boat maker Novamarine at Euronaval 2026 to look at developing uncrewed surface vessels together, SDArabia reports.
Under the agreement, Novamarine would supply the platforms, built at its plant in Olbia, Italy, and Abu Dhabi Ship Building, an EDGE company, would handle the full integration of the systems. Through EDGE, TII, the applied research arm of Abu Dhabi's Advanced Technology Research Council, would provide the autonomous navigation and control system.
Novamarine is showing two uncrewed surface vessel models on its stand at Euronaval 2026, which runs until 6 November.
