Canonical: https://tgos.io/news/2026/10/07/special-operations-command-korea-plans-sole-source-buy-of/ Special Operations Command Korea intends to award Neros Technologies a sole-source contract for Archer Strike drones and the equipment around them.[1] The presolicitation notice, posted Wednesday by an office under U.S. Special Operations Command, describes a commercial buy under FAR 12 with Pyeongtaek, South Korea, as the place of performance.[1][2] Neros says Archer Strike integrates directly with Kraken Kinetics' Terminus strike payloads; the Terminus-LV lines in this notice are trainers and casings.[1][5] The award would put a special operations buyer beside the Army and Marine Corps work Neros announced in November 2025.[1][4][5] The 10-inch Archer Strike in this notice is among the drones Neros said it would supply to the Army's Purpose-Built Attritable Systems program.[1][5] The company said the Army selected it as one of the program's primary FPV (first-person-view) drone makers.[5] The Marine Corps work is a delivery order for small drones including kinetic-strike capable FPVs.[4] Eight drones is a small buy next to Neros' Gauntlet II order.[1][3] That order, announced Sept. 30 through the Drone Dominance Program, covers 14,000 drones and explosive payloads. Neros put its value at over $100 million.[3] ## Why it matters What the command will pay Neros is still open: the notice lists no price.[1] Responses are due 8 a.m. Eastern Friday, Oct. 9.[1] The award, anticipated the next day, is the next document that could show the figure.[1] ## Sources 1.
