About Neros

Neros Technologies is a Torrance, California defense startup founded in 2023 that designs and mass-manufactures attritable unmanned aerial systems for the U.S. and allies, with vertical integration of flight computers, motor drivers, propulsion and proprietary radios for electronic-warfare resistance. Its portfolio spans BlueUAS FPV platforms and loitering munitions and has expanded to Archer AI (FPV with Terminal Guidance and GPS-denied Position Hold) and Bandit, a c-UAS interceptor aimed at Class 2–3 threats including Shahed-style systems, with multi-asset control for coordinated effects. Systems have been tested in active conflict zones including Ukraine; the company targets million-drone annual production via domestic manufacturing. In August 2026 Neros raised a $250 million Series C at a $2.5 billion post-money valuation co-led by Sequoia Capital and the American Strategic Technology Fund (ASTF), with Interlagos, Valor Equity Partners, Allen & Company, Thiel Capital, Spark Capital and Dylan Field, to accelerate Archer AI and Bandit production and multi-drone programs.
