ZENA -ZenaTech Inc.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS and Quantum Computing solutions, announces that its subsidiaries ZenaDrone and Spider Vision Sensors are collaborating with Taiwan-based certified electronics manufacturer and partner, Suntek Global, to apply for the company’s first Blue UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) certified IQ Nano drone sensor for use by US Defense branches.
A drone sensor is a device onboard a drone that collects data, such as cameras for imaging, LiDAR for mapping, or infrared sensors for thermal detection. Military and Defense departments use small autonomous indoor drones like the 10X10 inch IQ Nano for various applications such as inventory management, indoor building reconnaissance, search and rescue, training simulations, and explosives detection.
“We have been working with Suntek on Blue UAS certification for our cameras and sensors since signing a partnership agreement in early December, in conjunction with our Spider Vision Sensors manufacturing subsidiary in Taiwan,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D. “Our immediate goal is to utilize Suntek’s expertise having achieved Blue UAS certification, to help us source and manufacture our own compliant components as well as help us with the Blue UAS application process for our components and the IQ Nano drone. If approved, the drone is placed on the Blue UAS Cleared List, allowing military and federal agencies to directly purchase our drones.
“The IQ Nano drone is ideal for indoor operations in scenarios requiring precision, maneuverability, and minimal collateral damage, and can also improve efficiency and costs managing inventories of supplies in the Department of Defense (DoD) warehouse and storage facilities,” concluded Dr. Passley.
The company also intends to file for the less stringent and faster to achieve Green UAS certification for IQ Nano sensor and the drone in the second quarter of 2025. The Green certification is considered a pathway to the Blue certification list, with the main difference being that it is a commercial certification for secure drones led by a drone industry association (AUVSI). The Blue UAS is a military-grade approval for DoD use and has strict country of origin requirements that must not include a set list of Chinese suppliers. The Blue UAS Certification Process for DoD use is managed by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and includes additional security and performance evaluations.
The global military drone market is estimated to be a US $14 billion industry in 2023, which includes the $5 billion US market and is expected to grow to $47 billion globally by 2032 according to Fortune Business Insights research. The Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISRT) segment is the largest segment for military drones, used to collect crucial information and data in a targeted territory. The logistics and transportation sector is the second largest segment. ISRT and logistics and transportation are the military segments the company is targeting. The company previously completed two paid trials with the US Air Force and Naval Reserve for logistics and transportation applications carrying critical cargo, such as blood, in the field.

NEWS: ZenaTech Expands Southeast Region with Fourth Land Survey Company LOI and Plans to Include Drone Swarms to Address the US $22.8 Billion Average Cost of a Hurricane
January 28, 2025 07:45 ET

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS and Quantum Computing solutions, announces that it has signed an LOI (Letter of Intent) to acquire a fourth land survey engineering company located in the US Southeast region in Florida. This location will enable the ZenaDrone 1000 drones to assist with cleanup after a hurricane. A significant landfalling hurricane produces an average damage cost of USD $22.8 billion according to the Office for Coastal Management.
As the fourth such acquisition, this will further add to the base of ZenaTech’s Drone as a Service or DaaS operations in the Southeast region, providing convenient regional customer access to the ZenaDrone 1000 and the IQ series of multifunction drones. The Company’s subsidiary ZenaDrone plans to produce hundreds of ZenaDrone 1000 drones to assist Florida and other hurricane-prone States to manage natural disasters, including search and rescue with a drone swarm.
So far, ZenaTech has acquired two companies this month and has more to come - the company has been in discussions with over 25 companies currently in its pipeline.
“This LOI for a fourth land survey company acquisition is another step towards our vision to create a national DaaS business, bringing AI drone speed and precision to the innovation of existing verticals and applications. We will target local, state, and federal governmental agencies as our potential customers,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D. “In addition, we will include Florida as part of our Sky Traffic project where we plan to utilize AI drone swarms and quantum computing algorithms to process vast amounts of real-time, drone-collected data, enabling faster and more optimized response and damage assessments. We are in the process of hiring additional Ph.D.’s in physics and quantum computing as we build out our Sky Traffic project team.”
AI-powered drone swarms are designed to work collaboratively in real time by using advanced algorithms to communicate, share data, and coordinate flight paths, ensuring comprehensive coverage of hurricanes and their aftermath in places like Florida, saving lives and enhancing emergency response. They can dynamically adapt to changing weather conditions, collecting critical data like wind speed, pressure, and temperature. During emergencies, the drones use thermal imaging and GPS to locate survivors, deliver supplies, and relay communications, providing rapid support in inaccessible or heavily damaged areas.
ZenaTech’s Drone as a Service or DaaS business model enables governments, builders and developers, farmers, oil and gas companies, environmental firms, etc. to utilize a complete drone solution for a specific application- i.e., land surveying, crop management, inspection, safety, or compliance application – and purchase it on a pay-as-you-go basis rather than having to buy the entire drone hardware and software solution. This business model provides cost-effective access to the enhanced productivity benefits and AI capabilities offered by drone technology for speed, improved precision, and elimination of outdated or manual processes. Like Amazon Web Services, where Amazon owns computer equipment platforms, and hires the personnel, with the DaaS model, ZenaDrone owns the drones and hires the pilots, enabling businesses and governments to hire DaaS for services.
Accurate land surveys are essential for the planning, design, and execution of roads, bridges, and building projects for cities, commercial, and residential projects, and are required for legal purposes. ZenaTech is focused on acquiring established land survey engineering firms with an overseeing licensed Surveyor-in-Charge, a valuable designation that takes years to achieve. The use of drones requires FAA licensing and drone expertise, hardware, and software that ZenaDrone will bring to the transaction.
The US Surveying and Mapping Services industry is estimated at $10.3 billion according to Business Research Insights, growing at least 3% annually. Remotely piloted drones with an array of sensors and cameras, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), and GPS systems for capturing high-resolution pictures and data are revolutionizing the land survey industry gathering aerial data across expansive terrains in a matter of hours instead of weeks or months using more traditional photogrammetry methods.

The US Surveying and Mapping Services industry is estimated at $10.3 billion according to Business Research Insights, growing at least 3% annually. Remotely piloted drones with an array of sensors and cameras, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), and GPS systems for capturing high-resolution pictures and data are revolutionizing the land survey industry gathering aerial data across expansive terrains in a matter of hours instead of weeks or months using traditional methods.
Accurate land surveys are essential for the planning, design, and execution of roads, bridges, and building projects for cities, commercial, and residential projects, and are required for legal purposes. ZenaTech is focused on smaller and established land survey engineering firms with an overseeing licensed Surveyor-in-Charge, a valuable designation that takes years to achieve. The use of drones requires FAA licensing and drone expertise, hardware, and software that ZenaDrone will bring to the transaction.
ZenaTech’s DaaS business model allows governments, builders and developers, farmers, oil and gas companies, environmental firms, etc. to utilize a complete drone solution for a specific application- i.e., land surveying, crop management, inspection, safety, or compliance application – and purchase it on a pay-as-you-go basis rather than having to buy the entire drone hardware and software solution. This business model provides cost-effective access to the enhanced productivity benefits and AI capabilities offered by drone technology to optimize time, improve precision, and eliminate outdated or manual processes.
ZenaDrone’s multifunction AI drones will be offered in the DaaS business model nationally through convenient office or storefront locations operated by the company as well as by business partners.
