Halcon, a unit of the UAE’s new defence giant EDGE, has signed a $1 billion contract to deliver its Desert Sting-16 range of precision guided weapons to the UAE Armed Forces. The Desert Sting is a family of light weight, precision-guided glide weapons (GGW). Its two variants – the DS-8 and DS-16 – weigh between 15 and 23 kilograms, and primarily utilise inertial guidance technology, which is further augmented by their global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The Desert Sting’s semiactive laser (SAL) seeker configuration further enhances accurate performance against real-time targets.Halcon is part of the Missiles & Weapons cluster within EDGE, an advanced technology group for defence and beyond that was inaugurated in November.
