Neros has officially received a $100 million order for 14,000 drones and explosive payloads from the @DeptofWar for our performance in Drone Dominance Gauntlet II. We’ve also received a second bonus order for an additional 800 drones tied to Gauntlet I, reallocated from other competitors who couldn’t meet the production deadline for their orders. Gauntlet II orders are split between Archer AI, our flagship autonomy-enabled 10” drone, and Archer 5”, a smaller variant built for close quarters battle scenarios including urban and indoor settings. We’re proud to be the only manufacturer to have placed top three in both Gauntlet II mission sets, and are already fulfilling this next tranche of orders. Onward to Gauntlet III.

An airstrike in your hand. Our Archer FPV system is man-portable with a ground control station small enough to mount on standard plate carriers. Every component ruggedized and designed for rapid deployment.

Neros Archer strike demonstration with the @BritishArmy. The Army’s Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Roly Walker, attended the demo at the newly established Near Surface Warfare Wing, where British soldiers are getting hands-on experience operating FPV drones.

Archer is deployed by US troops worldwide. In this exercise off the coast of Okinawa, Japan, Marines with 3rd Battalion 7th Marine Regiment launched our FPV drones from Multi-Mission Reconnaissance Craft-B, a 40-foot tactical littoral recon watercraft. These maritime drone operations unlock new capabilities for sea-to-shore operations.

Another day at the office. Our flight testing team dialing in our autonomous strike capabilities ahead of Drone Dominance Gauntlet III.

We recently wrapped our attendance in Czechia at the NATO Drone Shield Competition, where we completed every challenge in record time: GNSS-denied long range strike, electronic warfare testing, intercepting a fixed-wing target, and night operations. The demonstration was designed to test small unmanned systems across a variety of mission profiles in support of future orders across allied nations.

Maneuver warfare means being able to conduct missions anytime, day or night. In Santiago, Puerto Rico, 22nd MEU (SOC) Marines were trained and certified by 2nd Marine Division and the Marine Corps Attack Drone Team on FPV systems, using the Neros Archer.

Recently, a Neros instructor embedded with @USArmy 7ID for a two-day combined arms live fire exercise, camping alongside operators in the field the entire 48 hours to make sure they had the support they needed. A 1-2SBCT team leader said our instructor “provided epic support (per usual)” and was with them “every step of the way” to the point he’s now known as their “Strike Team Mascot”. Proud of our Business Development team for always going the extra mile to keep end users lethal with our drones.

We're hosting the AI Grand Prix alongside @anduriltech and @dronechampionsl. This week, 15 teams from across the globe will compete in an extended hackathon to add autonomous navigation features to Neros drones before moving on to the final event at Anduril's Arsenal-1 later this year.

Archer AI introduces useful autonomy to warfighters through features like Terminal Guidance and GPS-Denied Position Hold, both capabilities designed to improve mission success by reducing operator cognitive load and improving their strike accuracy. Like all Neros platforms, Archer AI is designed to extend warfighter lethality, and be mass-manufactured right here in America.

After @DIU_x Drone Dominance Gauntlet I, Neros was the first manufacturer to deliver 100% of its 2,400-drone order. For that accomplishment, we were awarded a bonus order for another 2,000 drones, which have now fully shipped as well. Delivering credible deterrence requires more than small volumes of high performance drones, and Neros is proving that that America can produce unmanned systems at scale, and with the speed and flexibility demanded by the Department of War. Proud of all of the Neros teams that made this happen. Stay tuned for Gauntlet II results.
