# Neros Archer: Price, Availability & Status (2026)

Neros' Archer is a remotely-piloted (NOT autonomous) FPV strike drone; US Army PBAS-selected (not Replicator), ~6,000 fielded to Ukraine. Defense, no consumer price.

## Price

_No verified price on record._

There is no consumer price. The Archer is an FPV strike drone sold to defense customers, so DEPLOY records zero price points.

## Availability

_Status: internal-only_

The Archer is sold to defense customers, not consumers. From the 2023-founded, LA-based maker Neros, roughly 6,000 have been fielded to Ukraine via the Ramstein drone coalition at about 1,500 per month.

## Status

Neros' Archer is a first-person-view (FPV) strike quadcopter from the 2023-founded, Los-Angeles-based new-defense maker. Its verified gating events are strong for so new a company: selection for the US Army's Purpose-Built Attritable Systems (PBAS) program Tranche 1 in November 2025 as one of three primary FPV makers, a multi-million-dollar Marine Corps Archer Strike contract in December 2025, and roughly 6,000 Archers fielded to Ukraine via the Ramstein drone coalition at about 1,500 per month. Two corrections matter: the often-cited Replicator tie is not borne out (the verified program is Army PBAS plus Marine and DIU work), and the Archer is a human-piloted FPV drone, not autonomous: Series-B funds are earmarked for autonomy research that is aspirational, not fielded.
