Archer's electric powertrain powers Anduril and UAE’s EDGE Omen drone, marking its first third-party use in defense.

Archer Aviation will supply its electric powertrain to Anduril and UAE’s EDGE for the Omen autonomous drone, marking the first third-party use of its technology beyond its Midnight eVTOL aircraft. The deal, announced at the Dubai Air Show, signals a strategic shift toward defense applications and new revenue streams amid regulatory delays for air taxis. The Omen, designed for autonomous missions, uses Archer’s proprietary battery and electric engine system, produced in U.S. facilities. This partnership follows prior agreements with Anduril and expands Archer’s reach into international defense markets.
