International Golden Group was established in 2002 and describes itself as a provider of integrated defense and security procurement, system integration, manufacturing, maintenance, and support services. Its official materials place the company in Abu Dhabi and describe a broad portfolio that spans land systems, unmanned systems, communications, C4I, ISR/EW, vehicle support, military training, and other defense capabilities for UAE government customers.

EDGE's January 2024 announcement says IGG was added to the EDGE portfolio to broaden end-to-end defense and service offerings. The same announcement describes IGG as an Abu Dhabi-based supplier to the UAE Armed Forces, Ministry of Interior, and other defense and security authorities, with long-term partnerships across complex systems integration, assembly, and manufacturing.

IGG's source-backed program roles are broader than a single factory line. BAE Systems connected IGG to the RG31 Agrab Mk2 mobile mortar platform for the UAE Armed Forces, while General Atomics connected IGG to the UAE's Predator XP surveillance-aircraft procurement route. IGG's own subsidiary page adds further context for vehicle MRO, engineering, low-volume manufacturing, logistics, ICT, maritime security systems, training, and garment production.

The unarmed variant was licensed for a wider export market than armed MQ-1 Predators, with the UAE becoming the first announced customer through an International Golden Group procurement path. GA-ASI still described the UAE Armed Forces as Predator XP operators in 2023, and open-source research ties Emirati Predator XP deployment to the Yemen war.
