Neros Technologies has announced USD 250 million in Series C funding, which will be invested in the production and technology of new drone programmes, including the Bandit interceptor designed to counter Class 2 and 3 drones such as Shahed systems.
The funding round was co-led by Sequoia Capital and the American Strategic Technology Fund with participation by Interlagos, Valor Equity Partners, Allen & Company, Thiel Capital, Spark Capital and Dylan Field.
In addition to the Bandit interceptor, the funds will also be invested in the development of Archer AI, an FPV platform augmented with autonomy features.
Neros says that both Archer AI and Bandit will be deployed by the end of 2026.
