A fiber-optic, first-person view (FPV) drone touted as the first in the world to be fully compliant with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is soon hitting military arsenals.
US firm Neros Technologies, in collaboration with Israeli-based Kela Technologies, unveiled the Archer Fiber drone, a platform built to operate even in intense electronic warfare (EW) environments.
NDAA compliance means it avoids critical components sourced from China, removing a major hurdle for adoption by US and allied forces.
The design departs from typical fiber-optic drones, which often rely on commercial Chinese FPV cameras and electronics.An Archer drone variant demonstration flight. Video: Neros Technologies
“Archer Fiber marks a decisive leap forward in secure FPV capability,” said Søren Monroe-Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of Neros Technologies.
