Overview
- EDGE and Anduril formed the EDGE–Anduril Production Alliance to co‑develop, manufacture and sustain the Omen autonomous air vehicle in the UAE.
- EDGE plans about $200 million for UAE manufacturing as Anduril cites roughly $850 million already invested, and a 50,000‑square‑foot R&D and simulation center is planned in Abu Dhabi.
- Omen is a hybrid‑propulsion, hover‑to‑cruise tailsitter in the Group‑3 class designed for runway‑independent operations with greater payload and endurance than typical peers.
- Anduril’s Lattice autonomy software will enable coordinated multi‑aircraft missions with real‑time sensor sharing and adaptive behavior for both defense and civilian uses.
- Regional production will be anchored in the UAE, with any U.S. orders built at Anduril’s Arsenal facility in Ohio, and all activities proceeding in compliance with U.S. and UAE trade and export‑control rules.
