The company designs and manufactures low-cost, expendable unmanned aerial vehicles for military applications at its Smoky Hollow district facility in El Segundo, operating manual assembly lines optimized for high-volume domestic production. Neros’s primary products are the ARCHER first-person-view drone and the ARCHER STRIKE kinetic-enabled variant, alongside the CROSSBOW and LONGBOW ground control stations. The company was founded with the stated mission of onshoring drone manufacturing, critical to modern military arsenals, and production rates have scaled significantly since its founding.
