During the press tour we are currently attending in the United Arab Emirates, we have learned that the JENIAH Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV), built by ADASI (the subsidiary of the Emirati defense giant EDGE responsible for the aircraft’s production), should begin its flight test campaign in the coming months, or in any case within the next 2 years. The aircraft has already passed its Critical Design Review (CDR), and the roadmap calls for the system to enter service within the next 4 years.
The JENIAH is a UCAV in every respect, designed in particular to operate in Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) mode alongside the RAFALE F4 fighters being acquired by the UAE Air Force. The infrastructure needed to operate the aircraft, which will feature advanced stealth characteristics, is also being prepared.
The JENIAH will have a multirole configuration, and its internal bay will be able to carry a range of weapon systems. The engine supplier will also be announced soon.
