Sourcery: How Neros Built a Drone Factory for 1 Million a Year

A behind-the-scenes look at how Neros is turning drone manufacturing into a scale game, not a demo. In this Sourcery episode, host Molly O'Shea tours the Millennium 1 facility with guest Soren Monroe-Anderson, who explains how the team built a factory meant to produce 1 million drones per year while moving fast on design, testing, and supply chain execution. You’ll hear why Neros favors repeatable manufacturing over 3D printing, how they use desert flight testing to break and improve systems, and why keeping engineers close to production matters. The conversation covers drone factory design, defense tech, AI-enabled systems, rapid iteration, and the challenge of building high-volume hardware that actually works. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
