International Golden Group is an Abu Dhabi-based defense procurement, systems-integration, manufacturing, and support company that now sits within EDGE Group. In this catalog it provides the builder context behind the Agrab mortar system and related UAE defense-industrial sourcing.

1 weapon systems

International Golden Group was established in 2002 and describes itself as a leading 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, and other defense capabilities.

For this archive, IGG matters because it anchors the catalog's UAE-side procurement and integration context. The company's own site and EDGE's 2024 announcement show how IGG moved from an independent Abu Dhabi defense group into the EDGE portfolio while keeping a visible role in regional defense supply and industrial support.
