ZenaTech's ZenaDrone submits IQ Square for Green UAS certification.

ZenaTech's subsidiary, ZenaDrone, has submitted its IQ Square drone for Green UAS certification, allowing it to be added to the pre-approved procurement list for the US Department of Defense and government buyers. The drone is designed for line-of-sight applications, including infrastructure inspections, terrain mapping, surveillance, and reconnaissance in high-risk environments. The certification is a critical milestone in the company's commitment to national security and defense readiness.

ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA), a leading provider of AI drone solutions, has announced that its subsidiary, ZenaDrone, has submitted the IQ Square drone for Green UAS certification. This certification will allow the drone to be added to the pre-approved procurement list for the US Department of Defense (DoD) and government buyers. The announcement comes as part of ZenaTech's commitment to national security and defense readiness.

The ZenaDrone IQ Square is designed for line-of-sight applications, including infrastructure inspections, terrain mapping, surveillance, and reconnaissance in high-risk environments. The drone is compact, rugged, and features advanced imaging tools such as LiDAR and thermal sensors, enabling early detection of structural vulnerabilities and security threats. It also offers rapid mapping and ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) functions, supporting logistics and operational command.

Green UAS certification, developed by AUVSI in collaboration with the US DoD, ensures that drones are free of components from foreign adversaries and meet rigorous standards for cybersecurity, data protection, and supply chain integrity. This certification will streamline the approval process, paving the way for broader federal adoption and deployment in mission-critical operations.

ZenaTech CEO Shaun Passley emphasized the significance of this milestone, stating, "This is not just about compliance—it’s about positioning our company to meet the highest standards for US government and DoD use. Green UAS is our on-ramp to achieving Blue UAS certification which will open more doors to broader federal adoption and deployment in mission-critical operations."

The certification aligns with recent policy directives from the White House, Secretary of Defense, and Congress, which prioritize US-made and secure NDAA-compliant systems. This trend is creating real momentum for drone manufacturers, unlocking funding and accelerating procurement.

ZenaTech's IQ Square drone offers critical advantages in military and government applications, including real-time surveillance, infrastructure monitoring, and remote mission planning in hazardous environments. The drone's AI-driven cameras and sensors ensure mission-ready performance across defense and tactical applications.

The ZenaDrone IQ Square has a 40 x 40” and 50”x50” VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) frame with autonomous charging capabilities and delivers 20-25 minutes of flight time. It is designed for land surveys and various types of inspections and reconnaissance missions in defense applications.

ZenaTech operates through offices in North America, Europe, Taiwan, and UAE, and is growing its DaaS business and network in the US. The company's portfolio of solutions helps drive exceptional operational efficiencies, precision, and cost savings in law enforcement, government, and industrial sectors.
