On November 19, 2025, the Brazilian company SIATT, part of the broader Emirati EDGE Group, signed a contract with the Brazilian Marine Corps during the Dubai Airshow 2025 to deliver the Expeditionary Anti-Tank Missile System known as SMACE. The agreement covers an integrated configuration that combines the MAX 1.2 anti-tank missile, a high mobility 4x4 vehicle based on the U.S.-made M1301 ISV, and a QX-2 drone for reconnaissance and ground attack missions. According to the contract framework, the first system will be delivered in 2026 for operational assessment, and SIATT intends to expand production capacity afterward to meet additional demand from the Marine Corps, which aligns with EDGE’s broader plans to increase its industrial presence in Brazil.
