The integration pairs Neros’ combat-informed FPV drones with Seasats’ long-endurance unmanned vessels.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Seasats today announced a partnership with Neros that brings Neros‘ Archer 10″ Strike and Archer AI FPV drones aboard the Quickfish unmanned surface vessel (USV). The partnership combines persistent maritime presence, rapid response, and kinetic strike capability to deliver affordable maritime strike at scale.

Quickfish’s enclosed, modular payload bay carries several Archer strike drones, giving operators multiple shots from a single vessel and protecting the drones in all ocean conditions until they’re needed. Satellite connectivity and onboard control relays allow pilots to launch and fly those drones from anywhere in the world. The companies have demonstrated the integrated capability through multiple successful launches at sea.

“Maritime awareness matters most when operators can act on what they see,” said Mike Flanigan, co-founder and CEO of Seasats. “Neros brings kinetic strike capability to a platform built to stay on station for weeks and respond quickly. Together, we’re giving operators more options to identify and engage threats at sea without putting a crew on the water.”

Quickfish is the rapid response vessel in the Seasats USV family, with a sprint speed of 40 knots, multi-week loiter endurance, and the ability to withstand rough seas. Cued by Lightfish or other sensors, it can reposition to identify a contact and launch Archer drones from its modular payload bay.

Neros’ Archer 10” Strike and Archer AI are one-way FPV strike drones shaped by combat experience and built for mass production. The partnership pairs an affordable, expendable strike system with a reusable surface vessel that can return to port, refuel, and reload. Both companies design for production at scale, supported by resilient domestic and allied supply chains, so the capability can be fielded and sustained in numbers.

“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,” said Soren Monroe-Anderson, co-founder and CEO of Neros

Customers can reach out to Seasats for combined USV and aerial-system configurations, while Archer systems can be purchased directly from Neros.

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.

About Neros
Neros is building a new era of credible deterrence for America and its allies by establishing a domestic drone industrial base in the United States. By 2028, Neros will be producing a million drones per year across a range of capabilities including long range strike, close-quarters combat, and interceptors. Neros has major contracts with the Army, Marine Corps, as well as contracts with every component of SOCOM and half a dozen allied countries.
