History
Developed by the UAE's NIMR Automotive (now part of the EDGE Group) to meet the UAE Armed Forces' demand for a modern, survivable light tactical vehicle, the Ajban class was officially unveiled at the IDEX exhibition in 2015. Entering service shortly after its debut, the vehicle represented a major milestone in the UAE's efforts to establish a self-reliant domestic defense industry. The Ajban saw significant combat deployment with UAE and coalition forces during the conflict in Yemen, where its blast protection capabilities were proven in active counter-insurgency operations. Today, the vehicle family remains in active production and service, with export successes across the Middle East and North Africa, including licensed assembly in Algeria.
