Overview
- EDGE and Anduril formed the EDGE-Anduril Production Alliance as a manufacturing and sustainment hub in the Middle East.
- Omen is a mid-size Group 3 tailsitter aircraft positioned for autonomous operations and commercial or defense missions.
- Local and allied orders will be built at the joint facility in the UAE, while any U.S. orders would be produced at Anduril’s Arsenal factory in Ohio.
- Anduril says prototype propulsion limits were overcome through a hybrid-electric approach developed with Archer Aviation to enable runway-independent flight.
- The aircraft is described as dual use, so U.S. and UAE export controls apply when equipped with military mission systems.
