NEROS PARTNERS WITH SEASATS TO DEPLOY DRONES FROM UNMANNED SURFACE VESSELS FOR MARITIME OPERATIONS

Pairing the multi-week loitering endurance of Seasats Quickfish unmanned surface vessel (USV) with several Archer 10" Strike drones, pilots can launch, fly, and engage targets from control rooms anywhere in the world. 

TORRANCE, Calif., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Neros has announced a partnership with Seasats, a US-based manufacturer of unmanned surface vessels (USVs) including Quickfish, a rapid response vessel capable of multi-week maritime operations. 

Together, the companies have successfully demonstrated Quickfish carrying and launching several Archer FPV drones from its enclosed, modular payload bay. Featuring satellite connectivity and onboard control relays, this integration allows remote piloting of both Quickfish and Archer from any distance. 

As battlefield conditions evolve, our government partners are looking for novel ways to containerize strike drones. Anything that extends the range and number of systems we can deploy while keeping operators safely removed from combat is a win, and this integration with Quickfish is a perfect example of how unmanned systems can layer on top of one another to monitor, intercept, and engage maritime threats." 

— Soren Monroe-Anderson, CEO and Co-Founder, Neros 

These demonstrations offer a new paradigm for maritime patrol and response, effectively operating as miniaturized aircraft carriers – completely unmanned and able to be produced at scale for a fraction of the cost of traditional carrier units. With a max range of 550+ nautical miles, multi-week mission endurance, and autonomous monitoring capabilities, this pairing offers unprecedented coverage and force projection for coordinated sea and air effects.  

"Maritime awareness matters most when operators can act on what they see. Neros brings aerial capability to a platform built to stay on station for weeks and respond quickly. Together, we're giving operators more ways to assess and respond to a situation at sea without putting a crew on the water." 

— Mike Flanigan, CEO and Co-Founder, Seasats 

Customers can reach out to Seasats for combined USV and aerial system configurations, while Archer FPV systems can be purchased directly from Neros. Both companies design their systems for production at scale. Quickfish's modular architecture supports rapid integration and adaptation to different missions, while Neros combines combat-tested drone development with mass manufacturing and resilient domestic and allied supply chains.  

About Neros
Neros is building a new era of credible deterrence for America and its allies by establishing a drone industrial base in the United States. Already the highest rate domestic manufacturer, Neros is targeting production capacity of one million autonomous systems per year by 2028. Neros has major contracts with the Army and Marine Corps, as well as contracts with every component of SOCOM and half a dozen allied countries. 

About Seasats
Seasats closes maritime blind spots. Border protection, port security, tripwire operations, countering illegal trafficking and fishing, oceanographic research, hydrographic survey, and other missions depend on continuous awareness across key stretches of water. Seasats makes that possible through networked systems of unmanned surface vessels that operate persistently, maintain continuous data streams, and act when required. Seasats has over $100 million in U.S. government contracts and vessels operating with the U.S. Navy, NOAA, and leading research institutions worldwide. The company is headquartered in San Diego and backed by groups including Shield Capital, L3Harris Technologies, and Konvoy Ventures.
