Neros Gets US Marines Contract for Archer Strike FPV Drones
- Neros Technologies has been awarded a multi-million dollar delivery order contract with the United States Department of War in support of the Marine Corps to provide advanced small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) — including kinetic-strike capable FPVs — together with comprehensive operator training and support, across the Fleet Marine Force (FMF) in support of DoW priorities to unleash American drone dominance.
The award underscores the Marine Corps’ push to rapidly field combat-proven, American-manufactured drone technologies that ensure asymmetric effects capability by expeditionary combat units—at scale. Built without Chinese components and certified under the Department of War’s Blue UAS program, Neros’ Archer FPV drone fleet brings trusted, secure capability directly to Marines operating in contested environments.
“We are very grateful for the Marine Corps’ support, and we are committed to putting the best possible asymmetric FPV drone systems in Marines’ hands,”
Monroe-Anderson added.
The delivery order includes both system deliveries and hands-on training, ensuring rapid integration of FPV sUAS capabilities into Marine Corps infantry units and Marine Expeditionary Units. By pairing technology with instruction, the Marine Corps gains an immediate kinetic operational FPV capacity that has been proven on the Ukrainian battlefield.
Since the company’s launch in 2023, Neros’ Archer has become the highest production rate drone built in the United States. The company’s work with the Defense Innovation Unit, early fielding in Ukraine, and accelerating U.S. production base highlight Neros’ ability to move swiftly and deliver trusted systems to the Marines and soldiers who need them.
