Neros Technologies has raised $250 million in Series C funding at a $2.5 billion valuation to scale production of its autonomous defense drones. The company builds Archer AI, a first-person-view drone platform with autonomy features including terminal guidance and GPS-denied positioning, and Bandit, a counter-drone interceptor. Neros plans to deploy both platforms in combat theaters by the end of 2026 and aims to reach production of 1 million drones annually by 2028.
