ABU DHABI -- EDGE has secured two major contracts from the UAE Ministry of Defence (MoD) to supply ANAVIA HT-100 and HT-750 unmanned helicopters, marking one of the world’s largest orders to date for autonomous unmanned aerial systems. Under the agreements, EDGE subsidiary ANAVIA will produce and deliver a total of 168 rotary-wing UAS, comprising 76 HT-100s and 92 HT-750s.

ANAVIA CEO Jon Andri Jörg said the contracts reflect the growing shift toward unmanned intelligence and logistics operations, and demonstrate the company’s commitment to advancing autonomous system capabilities while supporting the UAE’s technology ecosystem. The HT-100 is a mission-proven, all-terrain unmanned helicopter optimized for intelligence, surveillance, and data-gathering missions, with day/night and adverse-weather capability as a deployable alternative to manned rotorcraft. The larger HT-750 is designed for multi-role logistics missions, offering heavy-lift payload capacity and flight stability.

Announced at UMEX and SimTEX 2026, the contracts reinforce EDGE’s role in strengthening UAE national security through the large-scale deployment of advanced UAS technologies.
