Omen

Omen overview

Omen is Anduril Industries' hover-to-cruise autonomous air vehicle, a runway-independent Group 3 platform for persistent maritime domain awareness, long-range overland surveillance, and contested logistics. Anduril also describes non-defense uses such as search and rescue and disaster response, but the product is principally presented as an autonomous defense aircraft. Its tail-sitter configuration allows vertical launch and recovery without a conventional runway.

Anduril describes Omen as able to launch from ship decks, beaches, and austere clearings, collapse to less than half its size for transport, and be assembled and launched by a two-person team in minutes. The company claims thousands of miles of range and hundreds of pounds of payload; speed, endurance, ceiling, dimensions, weight, and detailed effects payloads are Not publicly disclosed. The official page describes modular EO/IR, advanced sensing, communications, and effects-enabling payload options.

Anduril's official product page identifies Omen as its own autonomous air vehicle and does not identify an EDGE Group partnership, service-entry date, procurement customer, or operational fleet. Through September 12, 2026, Omen is best recorded as an actively marketed autonomous-aircraft product rather than a confirmed fielded system. The range and payload figures remain Anduril claims, not independent performance measurements.
