US-based Neros Technologies, a manufacturer of first-person view (FPV) drones, has announced plans to establish a UK subsidiary and open a headquarters in the Swindon area, in southwest England.
The initiative involves an investment of up to 10 million pounds ($13 million) over five years to expand drone production capacity in the country.
Operating as Neros Technologies UK Ltd, the new branch is expected to manufacture FPV platforms domestically for the British Armed Forces and for European partners.
Moreover, the facility is expected to support the development of local supply chains and technical workforce skills within the UK defense sector.
Cooperation with London has already begun through FPV drone trials and the delivery of systems to the UK Ministry of Defence under the International Drone Capability Coalition, which coordinates military drone support for Ukraine.
Expansion in Britain follows the earlier establishment of Neros UA in Ukraine, which was created to support operations and maintenance for Western forces in the region.
Boosting Drone Capabilities
The initiative comes amid a growing emphasis on drone capabilities within the UK armed forces.
Last month, the UK Royal Marines conducted a series of operational trials with heavy-lift drones in Norway to strengthen Arctic warfare capabilities.
During the deployment, operators tested T150B quadcopters for logistical missions, assessing how unmanned platforms could transport equipment across harsh terrain while minimizing personnel risk.
Additionally, London recently awarded Callen-Lenz a 4.99-million-pound ($6.7 million) contract for loitering munitions designed to enhance the military’s deep-strike capabilities.
The agreement covers the Nyan One Way Effector, a system that has already undergone testing and operational use within the Ministry of Defence.
