$ZENA News: ZenaTech’s ZenaDrone Prepares the IQ Quad Land Survey Drone for Submission for Blue UAS Certification to Enable U.S. Government and Defense Procurement Readiness
ZenaTech Inc.
Tue, June 16, 2026 at 7:30 AM EDT 7 min read
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, today announces that its U.S.-based subsidiary, ZenaDrone, is preparing to initiate the Blue UAS (Uncrewed Aircraft System) certification application for its IQ Quad drone to enable future U.S. defense agency and government procurement list inclusion. The IQ Quad, which was announced earlier this year, is an autonomous AI drone purpose-built for fast and accurate land surveys and geospatial mapping applications.
Currently it is undergoing flight performance and payload sensor integration testing, as well as finalized bill of material documentation as the company prepares application submission under the Green-to-Blue UAS pathway framework. The Blue UAS conferred by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is deemed the most important of the two, opening up a broader range of opportunities for defense agency use.
"Preparing the IQ Quad to enter the Blue UAS certification process is an important step in expanding our portfolio of trusted, NDAA-compliant drone solutions for U.S. government and defense agency customers," said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. "We believe having the Blue UAS certification will offer us opportunities to sell the IQ Quad to U.S. government organizations such as the Army Corps of Engineers, the Air Force Civil Engineer Center, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Bureau of Land Management, all of which require secure, high-precision geospatial mapping and land surveying capabilities. As federal agencies continue to modernize critical infrastructure and engineering operations, we believe this drone is well-positioned to deliver the mission-critical data and operational efficiency increasingly in demand."
Management believes there are many U.S. government and defense agencies with growing requirements for secure, NDAA-compliant drone solutions to support a variety of applications. As well as land surveying and geospatial mapping, these include terrain modeling, construction planning, airfield and base mapping, utility and asset management, environmental monitoring, and disaster response needs. The IQ Quad platform capability to quickly and efficiently collect high-resolution geospatial data positions it to support mission-critical engineering, installation management, and infrastructure modernization initiatives across the U.S. defense ecosystem.
The IQ Quad is a compact multi-mission quadcopter designed for rapid deployment and precision geospatial data collection across government and infrastructure environments. The platform is engineered for advanced mapping, land surveying, terrain modeling, infrastructure inspection, construction planning, and environmental monitoring applications. It features a modular and interchangeable payload architecture for high-resolution imaging, AI-assisted autonomy, and secure communications capabilities designed for field operations in complex environments.
ZenaDrone currently has three drone platforms in the multi-month process of evaluation for the Green-to-Blue UAS certification administered by the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) and the DoD. The certification process, in part, verifies that advanced cybersecurity controls and supply-chain documentation are in place, with only domestic or cleared suppliers. Blue UAS certification establishes National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) compliance and clears a "made in America" drone manufacturer for direct procurement by U.S. defense agencies, federal departments, and allied government buyers.

The new LiDAR analytics SaaS platform will target the AI data center construction sector - growing at 30% per year - with DaaS and SaaS offerings
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, announces its entry into the rapidly growing AI data center construction market by commencing the initial development of ZenaWorx, a LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging)-based VDC (Virtual Design and Construction) progress monitoring software. The software, designed to improve accuracy and costs across the construction lifecycle, will be jointly developed and offered through its Drone as a Service and Enterprise SaaS divisions. ZenaWorx uses drone-captured LiDAR data to create a detailed 3D digital map of a construction site that is used to track ongoing construction progress and identify deviations from planned design. The company has identified a potential beta customer about to begin a several hundred-acre AI data center construction project that it has targeted to use in the development of this service and is currently at the negotiation stage.
“The AI data center market is experiencing unprecedented expansion as an important growth market for drone-powered surveying, analytics, and construction monitoring solutions,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech. “With the development of ZenaWorx we plan to support construction and infrastructure operators with advanced aerial data collection, LiDAR-based 3D analytics, and a scalable subscription-based service designed to improve visibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of project execution throughout the construction lifecycle.”

Stocktwits PR Desk
Tue, May 26, 2026 at 8:11 AM EDT 8 min read
Company has identified profitable, revenue-generating companies intending to materially expand its consolidated revenue
Vancouver, British Columbia, (May 26, 2026) — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, announces the next chapter of its growth strategy: a partnership program that invites established, founder-led companies to join the ZenaTech platform and grow alongside it. The acquisition program focuses on profitable, revenue-generating companies across ZenaTech’s core verticals — defense technology, enterprise SaaS, and related AI infrastructure.
ZenaTech has identified several appropriate companies and has entered into non-binding letters of intent and term sheets with select parties as discussions progress toward potential definitive acquisition partnership agreements. ZenaTech’s approach is collaborative and founder-friendly: it engages directly and confidentially with owners and teams that made each business successful and structures every partnership so that founders and employees can continue building on a larger platform with greater resources behind them.
“For the past five years, we have deliberately built the ZenaTech operating platform — engineering, manufacturing, software development, and a global footprint — and we built it to be a home where strong companies can do their best work,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. “The founders we want to partner with have already created something valuable, and our role is to help them take it further. We are not looking to take companies apart; we are looking to give great teams a bigger platform, more resources, and access to customers they could not reach on their own. When a partnership is the right fit, we believe both the founders joining us and our shareholders benefit together.”

Subject to the final negotiation of agreements, due diligence completion, and customary closing conditions, ZenaTech will provide updates when available in accordance with disclosure and regulatory requirements. Founders and owners interested in exploring a partnership are welcome to contact ZenaTech directly or email investors@zenatech.com; all conversations are treated as confidential and without obligation.
