Neros and Kela Launch Archer Fiber - the World’s First NDAA-Compliant Fibre-Optic FPV Drone

• Neros Technologies, in partnership with Kela Technologies, has announced Archer Fiber, the world’s first NDAA-compliant fibre-optic FPV drone — a breakthrough platform engineered for dominance in the most aggressive electronic warfare environments.

Archer Fiber is already BlueUAS cleared, following a rigorous component-level audit verifying that no critical parts originate from China. This is true compliance, not repackaging — a meaningful differentiator in a market demanding trust, provenance, and scale.

“Archer Fiber marks a decisive leap forward in secure FPV capability,” said Søren Monroe-Anderson, CEO of Neros Technologies. “Electronic warfare is outpacing traditional radios. Fibre-optic control keeps operators connected, precise, and lethal even in the harshest interference. It’s a capability the U.S. and its allies need at scale — and Neros is built to deliver.”

Fibre-optic control removes the vulnerabilities of radio-based systems, enabling beyond-line-of-sight FPV operations and unlocking previously unattainable mission profiles. This technological shift positions Neros to lead the next generation of attritable UAS systems as defense customers accelerate investment in resilient, high-performance unmanned platforms.

"Archer Fiber demonstrates how industry is stepping up to reinforce the strong collective defence already underway between the United States and Israel," said Hamutal Meridor, President of Kela Technologies. "By uniting American defence industrial power with Israeli battlefield-proven ingenuity, we’re enabling capability development at unprecedented speed."

Archer Fiber is already deployed with early partners, validating performance in contested conditions. Orders are now open for 2026 delivery as Neros rapidly expands its vertically integrated U.S. manufacturing capacity.

Archer Fiber represents a new class of secure, scalable FPV systems designed for real battlefield conditions — and a major step in reshoring critical drone capabilities to the United States.
