Welcome to the EDGE® Innovations Network - a revolutionary model where industry and academia collaborate to deliver new technologies and innovative capabilities to users.

Sponsored by General Dynamics C4 Systems with leadership based in Scottsdale, Ariz., the EDGE provides subject matter expertise, advanced product portfolios and equipment, facilities and laboratories for developing and testing technologies, products and systems at faster cycle times than are currently possible on funded programs while enhancing the effectiveness, agility and survivability of users worldwide.

Our mission: to create and maintain an open environment where members can nurture, characterize and position current and emerging technology and capabilities to equip a mobile, better connected, and better informed end-user.

EDGE Innovation Centers (EICs)
The EDGE Innovation Network primarily operates out of Innovation Centers that are collocated near customer and/or EDGE member centers of interest.  These EICs are typically focused on either user needs or specific core capabilities.

User-focused EICs are located near customer centers of excellence where users come to work with EDGE members to accelerate delivery of new technologies and innovative capabilities.

At capability-focused EICs, integration efforts are directed toward a specific or core capability or need. Examples include:  battle command; tactical wheeled vehicle C4ISR integration, training and testing, warrior systems technologies, and federal/civil technologies.

In addition, General Dynamics United Kingdom Limited has launched the EDGE® United Kingdom, a pioneering innovation centre for Britain’s knowledge-based industries, enabling rapid testing of new advances in technology by the Ministry of Defence, Britain’s leading universities, and high-tech small and medium size companies (SMEs).
