Neros announced a $450M conditional loan commitment from the Office of Strategic Capital to expand U.S. manufacturing of drones and their critical components. The company is committing $165M in equity, bringing the total project size to $615M.

The effort covers multiple drone platforms and in-house component manufacturing. Neros says the investment puts it on a path to producing one million drones per year by 2028, spanning long-range strike, close-quarters combat and interceptors. The federal commitment is conditional.
