Overview
- An initial purchase of 50 Omen hover‑to‑cruise tailsitters by the UAE anchors the program’s first production run.
- EDGE will invest about $200 million, building on Anduril’s roughly $850 million in prior autonomy and Group‑3 development.
- The alliance will establish a 50,000‑square‑foot research and virtual‑simulation center in the UAE to support engineering, testing and sustainment.
- Regional and allied orders are slated for UAE production, while any US orders would be built at Anduril’s Arsenal facility in Ohio.
- The partners aim for full‑rate production by the end of 2028, enabled by a hybrid‑electric propulsion approach informed by work with Archer Aviation.
