American-made FPV attack drones and counter-UAS interceptors, mass-produced for the DoD and allies
Neros Technologies designs and mass-produces American FPV (first-person-view) attack drones as a domestic alternative to Chinese hardware, supplying the U.S. military, allies and Ukraine. In August 2026 it raised a $250M Series C at a $2.5B post-money valuation co-led by Sequoia Capital and American Strategic Technology Fund (with Interlagos, Valor Equity Partners, Allen & Company, Thiel Capital, Spark Capital and Dylan Field), bringing total funding to roughly $371M. The round funds production ramps for Archer AI (autonomy-augmented FPV) and Bandit (a counter-UAS interceptor for Class 2/3 threats), both slated to deploy by end-2026, from a new 250,000-square-foot Torrance, CA factory. Neros holds a firm-fixed-price IDIQ with the U.S. Army worth up to $500M for Archer under the Purpose-Built Attritable System program (awarded June 30, 2026), plus Marine Corps, SOCOM and allied contracts, and targets one million drones per year by 2028.
