ZenaTech’s ZenaDrone Moves to a New Arizona Manufacturing Facility for US Defense Focused on Drone Swarms Using Quantum Computing

TORONTO, Dec. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (“ZenaTech”), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone solutions driven by Quantum Computing, Drones as a Service, and enterprise SaaS, announces that its subsidiary company ZenaDrone has moved into its manufacturing facility in Phoenix, Arizona to produce US Defense and NATO drones, part of efforts to produce “Made in America” drones. The new facility will accommodate drone manufacturing and assembly, R&D, sales, pilot, and training teams, and has an aeronautical test range site for demonstrations.

The facility will produce ZenaDrone 1000 multifunction autonomous AI drones for the US military, which must be NDAA (National Defense Administration Act) compliant, a requirement that includes strict cybersecurity and country of origin specifications. The R&D work at this facility will include Quantum Computing, part of the company’s previously announced Sky Traffic project. ZenaDrone teams will be working on applications for drone swarms to be used in border control and perimeter security military applications. A drone swarm is a group of autonomous drones that work together, coordinated by algorithms, to perform tasks with dramatically improved speed, efficiency, and coverage.

“Expanding our Arizona presence from a sales office to a manufacturing facility, including flight testing, and an R&D center where we can continue our Quantum Computing-based Sky Traffic project applied to defense applications is a key part of our development strategy. Drone swarms powered by AI and Quantum Computing promise to revolutionize the defense sector by enabling highly coordinated, autonomous surveillance and reconnaissance operations, making defense systems faster, more effective, and secure in responding to complex threats,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D.

ZenaTech previously announced the launch of the Sky Traffic project which will utilize its AI drones, Quantum Computing, and specialized teams to develop and test advanced traffic management, weather forecasting, and wildfire management applications using large datasets and Amazon Web Services computing devices and platforms.

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.

NDAA compliance refers to adhering to the provisions outlined in the National Defense Authorization Act, which is a set of U.S. federal laws passed every year that specify the budget and expenditures for the Department of Defense (DoD) and address growing cybersecurity concerns. For a product to be NDAA compliant, it must not be produced by a set list of Chinese manufactories, which extends to the chipsets, cameras, displays and other technology used.

The Blue UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) program is a stringent government approved supplier list of drone companies that wish to do business with the US DoD; suppliers including ZenaDrone, must meet strict NDAA cybersecurity and supply chain sourcing requirements. The Green UAS program is essential, the same as the Blue UAS program, only a more streamlined and faster process without the specifications on the country of origin. The company has previously announced that its supply chain is fully NDAA-compliant and that it plans to apply for Green UAS followed by Blue UAS certification.
