History

Developed by the UAE-based defense company NIMR Automotive (now part of EDGE Group), the Ajban LRSOV was designed to meet the specific requirements of modern special forces requiring high-speed, long-range patrol capabilities in harsh desert environments. The vehicle was officially unveiled at the IDEX exhibition in Abu Dhabi in 2015 and subsequently entered service with the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces. It saw active operational deployment with UAE Special Operations forces during the Saudi-led coalition intervention in Yemen, proving its utility in rugged, off-road combat conditions. Today, the LRSOV remains a key asset in the UAE's military inventory and continues to be marketed internationally as a testament to the nation's expanding domestic defense manufacturing sector.
