ZENA News & Events

ZenaTech announces that its drone subsidiary ZenaDrone has initiated the development of a quantum navigation system designed to enable secure drone operations in GPS-denied and satellite-compromised environments. The system will initially support ZenaDrone 1000, the company's multifunction heavy-lift drone for use in defense applications including ISR, specialized cargo, and border patrol. Future scalability is also planned across the company's IQ series drone platforms. "The ability to operate autonomously in GPS-denied environments is an operational imperative for modern defense," said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. "We are committed to supporting U.S. defense and national security interests with technology that performs where conventional systems fail. We see quantum navigation as a cornerstone capability that will define the next generation of autonomous systems for defense, and we are making the strategic investments in the R&D needed to enable our future leadership as the industry evolves."

ZenaTech announces that its ZenaDrone subsidiary has formally initiated the Green UAS certification application process for its ZenaDrone 1000. The ZenaDrone Flagship product is a heavy-lift multifunction AI drone platform intended for potential inclusion on approved procurement pathways for the U.S. Department of War and government buyers upon successful certification. "Initiating the Green UAS certification process for the ZenaDrone 1000 is a crucial step in expanding our U.S. defense and government engagement," said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. "Secure, NDAA-aligned drone systems are increasingly becoming a baseline requirement for federal procurement. By advancing ZD1000 through the Green UAS pathway, our heavy-lift platform is on the path to deliver critical ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) and cargo capabilities for defense missions. Our initiation of this application process also reinforces our commitment to cybersecurity, supply chain integrity, and American-aligned innovation."

ZenaTech announces it is advancing its AI autonomous drone power wash system designed for building cleaning and outdoor maintenance applications using its ZenaDrone IQ Square drone. The power wash system is currently undergoing testing and validation at a private flight-testing facility in Dubai while the company continues to advance plans to open a Drone as a Service location in the city. "Our tethered, AI-powered drone autonomy platform is designed to transform building cleaning and maintenance from a labor-intensive, high-risk service into a scalable, technology-driven automated solution. By eliminating work at height, reducing labor dependency, and using LiDAR and AI to precisely target cleaning, we plan to deliver faster and more consistent results, safer operations, and lower water and chemical usage," said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. "The global drone-based cleaning services market is growing at 17% annually, projected to reach over USD 13 billion by 2030."

ZenaTech announces that it has opened a Drone as a Service location within its Orlando-area business headquarters facility. This marks the 23rd global DaaS location. "Florida is strategically important state for Drone as a Service and known for its infrastructure, transportation, and defense-related activity," said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. "By embedding a Drone as a Service location within our Orlando-area headquarters, we create a nexus to actively pursue federal, state, and county-level government opportunities. Working alongside our Washington, D.C. office and dedicated federal and defense business development teams, we are strengthening our ability to engage decision-makers and scale our public sector presence."
