According to the Abu Dhabi Company, the unmanned VTOL systems will be manufactured by Switzerland-based EDGE entity Anavia. The company specialises in the development and manufacturing of autonomous aerial capabilities.

These compact UAV's have exceptional flight stability – setting the standard for autonomous flying.

In November 2023, EDGE acquired a 52 per cent majority shareholding in Anavia, which develops and manufactures unmanned helicopters capable of carrying out mission-critical surveillance, reconnaissance and transportation.

Earlier this week, the Abu Dhabi group's entity Milrem Robotics signed a contract to supply 40 THeMIS unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and 20 tracked robotic combat vehicles (RCVs) to the UAE Ministry of Defence as well.
