- United Arab Emirates — 50-aircraft commitment announced in November 2025
Evidence & current status
The order is documented; end-2028 full-rate production is a future target, not a completed milestone.
OMEN is an Anduril–EDGE aircraft programme combining vertical launch and recovery with wing-borne flight. EDGE describes a Group 3 tail-sitter for reconnaissance, logistics and communications tasks, using Anduril’s Lattice software. The joint industrial origin is recorded separately from the location of any future production line.
EDGE’s November 2025 airshow summary identifies a UAE commitment for 50 aircraft. The programme announcement places full-rate production at the end of 2028 as a plan. That future target is not evidence that fifty aircraft have already been built or delivered.
The public product page supplies mission and architecture information but not a complete numerical performance baseline. Comparable mass, payload and endurance figures remain unverified here. Later test, production and acceptance announcements can be added as distinct milestones without treating an order and an operational capability as the same event.
