Zenatech Expands Defense And Government Drone Services With Strategic Partnerships
$ZENA
ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA), a developer of artificial intelligence-driven drones and Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) platforms, is expanding its reach into U.S. defense and government sectors. Through its subsidiary ZenaDrone, the company has engaged Bromelkamp Government Relations and Winning Strategies Washington to provide consulting services focused on defense sector business development and congressional engagement.
According to ZenaTech CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D., the partnerships are intended to help strengthen relationships with federal agencies as the company prepares to scale its DaaS offerings and increase sales. Passley pointed to a broader industry shift toward autonomous systems, supply chain security, and scalable solutions—areas ZenaTech believes its drone technologies are well positioned to support.
The company’s DaaS model allows government customers to access advanced drone capabilities on a service basis, bypassing the need for large upfront capital expenditures. ZenaTech views this as a pathway to faster adoption and more flexible deployment of autonomous aerial solutions. As part of its push into the defense market, the company is also pursuing Green UAS and Blue UAS certifications—important qualifications for drones used in U.S. military and federal operations.
ZenaTech’s ZenaDrone 1000 is a core product offering, built to support intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), base security, and border patrol missions. The drone features a patented foldable-wing design, up to one hour of flight time, and a 40-kilogram payload capacity. Its onboard technology includes artificial intelligence, thermal imaging, LiDAR, and multispectral sensors.
The company has also developed smaller-format systems such as the IQ Nano and IQ Square. These drones are intended for tactical ISR and indoor operations in GPS-denied environments. The IQ Nano emphasizes maneuverability and obstacle avoidance, while the IQ Square provides extended mission duration and enhanced payload options.
ZenaTech’s broader R&D roadmap includes integration of quantum computing and further automation technologies, reflecting the company’s long-term focus on emerging defense needs. The global military drone market is expected to exceed $15 billion by 2030, driven by ongoing efforts to reduce risks to personnel and expand operational intelligence.
With a presence in North America, Europe, Taiwan, and the UAE, and an expanding partner network, ZenaTech is positioning itself to meet growing demand in defense and public sector markets. The recent partnerships and continued product development efforts indicate a strategic commitment to this sector.
