ZENA News & Events

ZenaTech announces it has commenced development of the IQ Glider, an autonomous marine-based drone launch and refueling station. The IQ Glider is designed to extend the operational endurance of the company's ZenaDrone 2000 Maritime Interceptor defense system, which enables continuous multi-drone intercept operations without requiring shore infrastructure or missile-based counter measures. The initiation of the IQ Glider technology follows the company's recent announcement of the development of a prototype for the ZenaDrone 2000.

ZenaTech announces its ZenaDrone subsidiary is developing the ZenaDrone 2000. The platform is being purpose-built to detect and simultaneously intercept multiple incoming unmanned aerial threats at a fraction of the cost of conventional countermeasures. The announcement comes amid a surge in asymmetric drone warfare globally, with recent conflicts highlighting a critical and costly vulnerability in current defense postures against Iranian-supplied drone swarms.

ZenaTech provides an update on its plans to advance engagement within the U.S. defense ecosystem and with Congressional representatives in Washington, D.C. Representatives from ZenaTech's U.S. drone subsidiary ZenaDrone will be in Washington, D.C. later this month to meet for a second time with key Members of Congress and other stakeholders to discuss the company's drone innovation and U.S. manufacturing plans. Emphasizing the growing importance of secure, domestically aligned unmanned aerial systems, it is anticipated that discussions will center on strengthening U.S.-based drone manufacturing, resilient supply chains, and advanced autonomous capabilities as part of Blue UAS-aligned drone development and broader national security priorities.

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."
