Archer said it will supply its proprietary electric powertrain for the Omen autonomous air vehicle, co-developed by U.S. defense firm Anduril and UAE‑based EDGE. The agreement marks the first time Archer has made its eVTOL powertrain available to a third party.

Briefing
Archer's first third‑party deployment of its proprietary electric powertrain creates a new commercial pathway for propulsion sales and broader technology adoption within both civil and defence eVTOL programs.
The supply agreement embeds Archer's propulsion into a defence platform under the Anduril‑EDGE joint venture to market Omen, linking commercial eVTOL tech to rapid fielding plans and regional customers.
The move dovetails with Archer's wider regional strategy, including its push into UAE eVTOL networks and selection in international rollout programs such as Tokyo's eVTOL implementation phase (see related coverage).
