Powertech, launched earlier this year by the Abu Dhabi-based advanced technology and defence group EDGE, has secured its first order for the P145i combustion engine.
Another EDGE Group company, ADASI (Abu Dhabi Autonomous Systems Investment), placed the order. ADASI is known for its end-to-end solutions in the autonomous systems industry. It creates robust unmanned systems capable of performing challenging and strategic tasks in the defence sector.
Powertech will supply ADASI with its advanced six-cylinder fuel-injection engine, designed to enhance the efficiency and performance of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and light aircraft.
The P145i performs across diverse environmental conditions and is engineered for reliability, fuel efficiency, and seamless integration with advanced aerial platforms. Its lightweight design ensures greater operational flexibility in the air.
The order marks a significant milestone in its strategy to become a globally competitive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of high-performance propulsion systems for defence and civil aerospace applications.
Julien Fabreguette, Senior Vice President of Industrial Strategy & Partnerships, EDGE, commented: “This landmark order is a defining moment for Powertech and a testament to the strength of cross-complementary synergies within EDGE Group.
“The P145i embodies our engineering excellence, offering a powerful and fuel-efficient solution for UAVs and advanced aerial platforms. We are proud to support ADASI with cutting-edge propulsion solutions that enhance its aerial capabilities and support its portfolio of autonomous systems.”
Juma Al Kaabi, CEO of ADASI, added: “As a regional leader in autonomous systems, ADASI is committed to equipping its platforms with the most advanced technologies to meet the evolving demands of modern defence operations.
“Integrating Powertech’s P145i engine into our platforms aligns with our mission to deliver superior UAV capabilities with enhanced performance, efficiency, and operational reliability.”
