Neros Technologies

Neros was founded in 2023 with a mission to build the West’s drone industrial base. In 2025, Neros became the highest-output American drone manufacturer within a 15,000-square-foot facility in El Segundo. But faced with the reality of modern warfare as seen in Ukraine, we were still just a drop in the bucket. In 2026, we’re scaling our productive capacity by 100x. Today, Neros is proud to announce our expansion into Millennium One, a 250,000-square-foot flagship facility in Torrance, CA. This factory is the cornerstone of Project Millennium, our initiative to build a drone industrial base that is truly competitive with China. We will build world-class systems, at a scale in the millions, and at internationally competitive cost right here on domestic soil. Millennium One is a decisive step towards bridging the critical production gap to our adversaries. Beyond final assembly, we are also verticalizing components across the entire drone value chain, onshoring high-risk subsystems to ensure our domestic manufacturing capabilities are insulated from external supply shocks. Neros will provide the ultimate deterrent and the asymmetric advantage the West requires. We cannot afford to fail. Read our full vision for Project Millennium: neros.tech/articles/proje…

Neros is proud to announce our 2nd place finish in the Department of War's Drone Dominance Program Gauntlet I, having competed with American and international manufacturers across multiple dimensions of battle-readiness from long range to urban strike scenarios. Neros' system was the top performing American platform, following closely behind a Ukrainian fiber system. It’s no surprise that those who ranked highest at Gauntlet 1 are manufacturers that have deployed their drones in true combat settings. At Neros, we understand that paper requirements and simulation can’t compete with actual user feedback, and leverage our direct lines of communication with Joint Forces and allied warfighters to rapidly iterate, maximizing the real-world usability of our platform. This advantage was made clear in the Urban Strike mission where nine companies achieved perfect scores, and military operator feedback was used to determine the final rankings. In this exercise – given the choice – America’s warfighters chose Neros as their #1 drone system based on ease of use and utility. Critically, Neros’ team never had to intervene with military personnel to provide supplemental coaching or troubleshooting during missions, a testament to the intuitive operation and flat learning curve of our Archer platform. In the hands of these military operators, our drones were among the few systems piloted to every target distance and able to make a direct strike at the max 10 km range. To the team at Neros: this achievement belongs to your tireless work on the factory floor, at test ranges and across our engineering labs, both at home and abroad. To the Department of War and the operators at Fort Benning: thank you for championing a procurement model that rewards speed, scalability, and real-world performance. We’re already integrating what we’ve learned in preparation for Gauntlet II, and we will continue onshoring the drone industrial base to deliver the asymmetric advantage the West needs.

Neros is delivering. We are proud to announce the first delivery under the U.S. Army’s Purpose Built Attritable Systems (PBAS) program ahead of schedule. This milestone demonstrates repeatable, program-level production at scale for our warfighters. Alongside this delivery, we are officially launching our Archer Block 2 system. Block 2 is an evolved combat system designed for modularity and field-reconfigurability in contested environments. With multiple size configurations, a multi-sensor payload suite, and paired with our next-generation soldier-borne Ground Control Station, Flatbow, Archer Block 2 is a comprehensive platform that adapts as quickly as mission demands change.

What does American Drone Dominance mean? Behind the contracts and the hype lies the truth that America is still orders of magnitude behind Chinese drone production. The massive undertaking needed to create actual credible deterrence requires a dominant drone, a secure component supply chain, and the industrial capacity to build at scale. The Department of War's Drone Dominance Program is building real momentum, and Neros is at the forefront. Read more here: neros.tech/articles/ameri…

RF emissions leave a signature. Now they leave a consequence. By integrating Vadris — CX2’s RF-seeking drone pilot locator — onto Neros’ Archer FPV, we’re turning detection into action. Find the signal. Fix the operator. Deliver effects. The electromagnetic spectrum is no longer just something to defend — it’s something to exploit. #ElectromagneticWarfare #DefenseTech #AsymmetricAdvantage

CX2 is partnering with @neros_tech to accelerate counter-UAS capabilities for U.S. and allied operators. CX2's Vadris RF-seeking payload. Neros’ Archer FPV platform. One integrated, field-ready solution that finds, tracks, and orients towards threat UAS control sources. No integration burden, no delay. The threat is scaling fast. Operators need systems that scale faster. Read the full story here: tectonicdefense.com/exclusive-nero…

Today was the final day of competition in Huntsville at the Army best drone Fighter Competition. Neros was honored to take part. Events like this sharpen readiness, strengthen partnerships, and accelerate the pace of operational innovation across defense technology.

Huntsville bound. Operator competition week. Capability matters.

Neros is supporting the Army’s Best Drone Warfighter Competition next week in Huntsville. Our drones were selected for the operator competition. Mission: asymmetric advantage for allied forces. neros.tech

Hardware will be provided by @Neros_Tech. Competitors at the AI Grand Prix will all use the same identical drone. No mods. Pure autonomy.

Neros is excited to announce our collaboration with @anduriltech as the hardware provider for the AI Grand Prix, a global autonomous drone racing competition conceived by @PalmerLuckey. In conjunction with @DroneChampionsL, teams from around the world will prove their autonomy software in real-world flight, competing for a $500,000 prize pool and a job opportunity at Anduril. Competitors will race on identical Neros drones — no human pilots or hardware modifications will be allowed to ensure any competitive edge is gained entirely by optimizing the best code for the race. As the leading American manufacturer of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS), the Neros hardware provided to teams is durable, precise, highly-performant, and designed for the rigors of extreme autonomy challenges.
