Neros has raised $35 million in Series A funding to accelerate American drone manufacturing, aiming to compete with China on scale and technology.
The company plans to manufacture increasing quantities of its FPV drone, Archer, and ground control station, Crossbow.
Neros is expanding its engineering team to integrate cutting-edge technology for future products.
The dependency on Chinese components for drone manufacturing has highlighted vulnerabilities in the supply chain, urging the need for domestic production of critical components.
Neros CEO emphasizes the importance of building new systems tailored for modern battlefield needs and sourced from allied supply chains.
The traditional approach of sourcing defense-grade components has limitations in scale and cost, leading to saturation in the market.
Neros aims to revolutionize American drone production by using vertical integration and consumer technology to achieve large-scale production efficiencies previously unseen in the U.S.
The company focuses on delivering high performance at reduced costs, with its FPV drone, Archer, being recognized for its precision and mission capabilities at a lower cost.
Neros is developing autonomy features for drones, envisioning intelligent swarms that can transform defense and security operations.
To achieve its goals, Neros is expanding its team with experts across autonomy, robotics, hardware design, and software engineering.
The company invites individuals interested in the defense industry challenges to join their team at Neros.
