Neros Wins $500M Army IDIQ for Drones
1 source · first reported Yesterday
Neros has been awarded a $500M IDIQ contract by the Army for Archer attritable drones, support equipment, testing, and training. The drones are built without Chinese parts and have the highest production rate of any US-built drone. The Army seeks to acquire up to 10,000 drones per year at a cost of under $2,000 each.
Why it matters
The contract highlights the Army's focus on acquiring affordable and reliable drone systems for various operations, and Neros' ability to deliver high-volume production without relying on Chinese components addresses US concerns over supply chain security.
