About APEX

APEX (Adaptive Payload Exchange) is Neros' open-source, low-cost mechanical, electrical and software interface that lets operators swap warheads, fiber-optic, repeater and direction-finding payloads on Archer drones in the field. Its first mass shipment came with the Drone Dominance Gauntlet II order in 2026.
