Latest Drone Technology Reshaping Government Operations for Land Surveying and Other Operations

PALM BEACH, Fla., Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – The Latest and Greatest Drone Technology is rapidly becoming a valuable tool across various levels of government, military and defense, offering a wide and increasing range of capabilities and advantages across a growing number of applications. Drones are now being extensively used in military operations for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), reducing the risk to human personnel in dangerous environments. They can also be equipped with payloads for electronic warfare, communication relays, and land surveying operations. In a recent article published by ConduitStreet.org; “While drones have become well-established tools in public safety operations—particularly for emergency response and law enforcement—their utility in government operations is rapidly expanding into diverse and impactful areas. These include infrastructure inspection, land surveying, environmental monitoring, traffic management, and even public communication during events.” The US Department of Defense operates the “Blue UAS” program to identify and approve drones meeting stringent security and operational standards for military and federal applications. Drones are also being used for tasks such as border control surveillance, managing traffic congestion, storm tracking and forecasting, delivering essential supplies in emergencies, and mapping inaccessible terrain. Artificial intelligence and automation are expected to play an increasingly important role, enabling drones to perform tasks far more efficiently and operate autonomously. Active Companies in the drone industries include ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: PRZO), Unusual Machines (NYSE: UMAC), AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV), Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS).

According to ClearPointServices.com: “In the rapidly evolving world of geospatial technology, drones have emerged as one of the most powerful tools available to land surveyors. These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are revolutionizing how professionals capture high-resolution data, map terrains, and expedite the process of planning and development projects. From significantly reducing field time to delivering hyper-accurate 3D models, drones are reshaping the landscape of land surveying. Below, we’ll delve deeper into how they are changing the game. Traditional land surveying often involves extensive ground-based measurements, multiple site visits, and labor-intensive methods. Drones have streamlined this entire process. In just a matter of hours—sometimes even minutes—survey-grade UAVs can fly over large parcels of land, capturing imagery and sensor data that would have taken days or weeks using conventional methods. This efficiency not only saves time but also translates directly into cost savings. Drones are a transformative force in modern land surveying. From boosting efficiency and safety to unlocking unprecedented detail, they enhance the quality of survey data and speed of project delivery. By embracing this technology, surveyors pave the way for more sustainable, informed, and future-focused land development practices.”

ZenaTech (NASDAQ:ZENA)
Signs Agreements to Acquire Two Florida Companies, Expanding Drone as a Service Footprint into Aviation, Defense, and Power Washing
– ZenaTech, Inc. (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a business technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drones, Drone as a Service (DaaS), Enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, announces it has signed offers to acquire two Florida-based companies expected to expand its US DaaS services footprint into drone-based power washing and new aviation, defense, government, and commercial customers. The acquisitions will unlock significant revenue potential as well as diversification across the Southeast region and nationally.

One proposed acquisition is a Florida-based power wash services company with operations across multiple counties, marking ZenaTech’s first US entry into the power washing sector. This acquisition will provide ZenaTech with a platform to scale drone-enabled power wash services rapidly to new markets, including airplane maintenance, aviation facilities, and defense infrastructure. Power washing in aviation uses high-pressure water and drone-assisted cleaning systems to remove dirt, debris, and contaminants from aircraft exteriors and infrastructure, and cleans and sanitizes interiors. The sector is poised to grow due to increasing fleet sizes, stricter safety and efficiency standards, and the rising adoption of automated, eco-friendly maintenance technologies.

An additional proposed acquisition is a land surveying firm with over 30 years of history serving Florida-based developers and homebuilders. With a long-standing client base and trusted reputation, the Company believes this partnership will enhance its Southeast region DaaS presence and create a strong platform to expand drone services across additional construction and real estate customers, further consolidating the company’s regional footprint.

“When finalized, these acquisitions will provide diversification and future revenue streams for Drone as a Service across our Southeast and national networks,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. “Expanding our reach to aviation and defense is strategic as we believe the future of aviation maintenance is autonomous. By replacing ladders, scaffolding, and chemical-heavy processes with smart cleaning drones, for both interior and exteriors of planes, we hope to help airlines and defense operators set a new standard for safety, sustainability, and efficiency.”

ZenaTech has closed eight US acquisitions toward its goal of establishing 25 Drone as a Service locations across the US by mid-2026. The company’s DaaS model is designed to provide flexible, on-demand access to drone services for surveying, inspections, maintenance, power washing, precision agriculture and more, eliminating the need to have to invest in drone hardware and software, worry about maintenance, regulatory compliance, or finding pilots.

The company’s strategy is aimed at acquiring established land survey engineering firms, and other old-tech or manual service businesses that are ripe for drone innovation, to advance its national vision for a scalable, tech-enabled multiservice drone business anchored by existing customers, recurring revenue, and new growth opportunities. Continued…Read this full release by visiting: https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-zena/

ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: PRZO), an aerospace defense company pioneering smart, autonomous solutions for the global manned and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) industry, recently announced that it has received a purchase order for its advanced Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) solution from a defense entity. This is another achievement for ParaZero in its continued expansion into the defense market and the rapidly growing counter-drone market specifically. According to recent market research, the global anti drone market size was valued at $2.4B in 2024. The market is projected to grow from $3.1B in 2025 to $12.24B by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 21.62% during the forecast period.

With drones becoming a major security concern for military and non-military organizations, ParaZero’s cutting-edge C-UAS solution offers a drone neutralization system. This technology provides essential protection for critical infrastructure, sensitive military operations, and public spaces while also ensuring minimal disruption while neutralizing aerial threats.

“Securing another order from a prestigious defense organization is a strong testament to the trust in our technology,” said Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero Technologies. “We believe that our C-UAS solutions address the growing demand for highly effective drone mitigation systems, and that this new order reflects our commitment to providing the highest level of safety and security to our clients.”

Safe Pro Group Inc. (“Safe Pro” or the “Company”), a leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered defense and security solutions, recently announced that it has entered into definitive agreements for a private placement with strategic investors including Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) and Unusual Machines Inc. (NYSE: UMAC), two leaders in the U.S. drone industry.

The private placement consists of the sale of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share and warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, for a potential investment package of up to $20 million. The investment is expected to provide the financial strength and strategic relationships to accelerate commercialization of Safe Pro’s patented AI technologies, including its Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) and newly developed Navigation Observation Detection Engine (NODE). The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about August 20, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Safe Pro’s patented platform has already been recognized by the U.S. Army and is positioned to capitalize on the Senate Appropriations Committee’s proposed $617 million increase in funding for small, unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS), as well as the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) which allocates up to $30 billion in new drone and AI spending.

The SPOTD NODE provides real-time AI analysis of drone video and imagery directly at the tactical edge. Designed alongside military end-users, the SPOTD NODE rapidly detects landmines and more than 150 types of unexploded ordnance (UXO) and creates high definition 2D/3D maps without requiring an internet connection. Built on over 1.7 million drone images and utilized in battlefield operations in Ukraine, Safe Pro’s AI image processing technology has already delivered over 31,000 detections and mapped over 7,800 hectares.

Air Products Successfully Completes First Liquid Hydrogen Fill of the World’s Largest Hydrogen Sphere at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center

PR Newswire


LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.
, Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Air Products (NYSE: APD), the world’s leading supplier of hydrogen, today announced it has successfully completed the first fill of the world’s largest hydrogen sphere at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Kennedy Space Center located on Merritt Island, Florida. NASA uses liquid hydrogen combined with liquid oxygen as fuel in cryogenic rocket engines.

To complete the fill, Air Products delivered over 50 trailer loads of liquid hydrogen – over 730,000 gallons in all – to NASA’s new sphere. The NASA hydrogen sphere is the world’s largest liquid hydrogen tank, measuring 90 feet tall and 83 feet in diameter. The hydrogen will be used to fuel NASA’s Artemis missions, which aim to return humans to the Moon for the first time since the Apollo era and establish the first long-term presence on the Moon.

“Air Products has a long history dating back into the 1950s of working with NASA, and stretching from well before the successful Apollo 11 moon landing to more recent missions to study Mars,” said Francesco Maione, Air Products’ President, Americas. “This hydrogen fill, which is Air Products’ largest ever for NASA, successfully demonstrates our ability to supply world-scale levels of industrial gases safely and reliably through our robust supply chain, so NASA can confidently continue its important work for future missions to the Moon and beyond.”

Air Products’ working relationship with NASA began in 1957. It has included supplying NASA with liquid hydrogen and other industrial gases to advance the U.S. Space Program including Orion, the Space Shuttle, and Apollo, and reaching all the way back to the earliest Mercury program missions. In addition to supplying product for space launches, Air Products also has had a long-term relationship with NASA’s engine testing program at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, Johnson Space Center in Texas, as well as Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama.

Astronautic applications are a key business for Air Products, and the Company is also heavily involved in supporting the increasing number of privatized space launches and missions of several independent companies.

FST Corp. Announces 24 Percent Revenue Growth for First Half of 2025

BOULDER, CO., Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FST Corp. (Nasdaq: KBSX), a leading manufacturer and marketer of steel and graphite golf shafts and a provider of other golf-related services, today announced that, for the first six months of 2025 ended June 30, the Company had revenue of $22,193,432, a 24 percent increase compared with revenue of $17,829,745 for the corresponding period in 2024. This increase is primarily the result of additional sales of both steel and graphite golf shafts to the OEM sector.

Gross profit margin for the first half of 2025 improved to 46.0 percent, compared with 43.4 percent in the prior-year period. This increase was attributable to additional sales of higher-margin products, as well as an increase in operational efficiency.

The Company had a net loss of $5,827,047, or $(0.13) per share, for the first half of 2025, compared with a net income of $77,617, or $ 0.01 per share, for the same period a year earlier. This decline in bottom-line performance was primarily due to a $3,357,809, or 40 percent, increase in total operating expenses compared to the first half of 2024. This increase in expenses was primarily attributable to higher personnel costs and added marketing spending to support new product launches, as well as approximately $1.75 million in one-time listing-related expenses.  Bottom line results for the first half of 2025 were also impacted by an OTE derivative loss of $1,884,824, compared to no such charge for the year-ago six-month period, as well as by a foreign exchange loss for the first half of 2025 of $2,215,653 compared with a foreign exchange gain of $967,140 for the first half of 2024.

FST’s loss from operations for the first half of 2025 was $1,529,247, compared with a loss from operations of $644,225 in the first half of the prior year. After adjusting for one-time listing expenses, however, the Company would show operating income in the first half of 2025 of approximately $220,000, an improvement of about $870,000 over the prior-year period.

As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, FST had cash and cash equivalents of $6,802,368 and $5,098,420, total current assets of $29,327,334 and $26,655,003, and total current liabilities of $34,151,914 and $22,113,495, respectively.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,091,950 for the first half of 2025, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $1,420,385 in the first half of 2024. Net cash used in investing activities was $241,198 in the first half of 2025 compared with $1,443,282 in the first half of 2024. Net cash provided by financing activities was $212,058 in the first half of 2025 compared with net cash used in financing activities of $49,089 in the first half of 2024.

The Company believes that its current liquidity, together with cash flows from operations and available credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund operating requirements for the next 12 months.

The weighted average number of ordinary shares was 44,766,003 for the first half of 2025 and 54,554,395 for the first half of 2024.

“We are gratified to report another period of excellent revenue growth,” said FST chief executive David Chuang. “We’re also happy to report that, after adjusting for one-time listing expenses related to the merger that took us public, we had operating income for the first half of 2025 of $220,000.”

“Looking forward to the remainder of the year, we expect our sales momentum to continue, boosted by our launch of a new product line in Q4. We also plan to grow our top line by pursuing additional OEM business with our strategic business partners and expanding our distribution channels in Southeast and East Asia, as well as Europe. We intend to improve our margins and bottom line by implementing additional cost control measures.

Robotics Transforms Cell Therapy: Multiply Labs Drives Staggering 74% Cost Reduction, Unlocking Global Patient Access

Robotics Transforms Cell Therapy: Multiply Labs Drives Staggering 74% Cost Reduction, Unlocking Global Patient Access

Breakthrough partnership with Universal Robots transforms “artisanal” manufacturing, making personalized, life-saving cancer treatments affordable and widely available.

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Multiply Labs, a pioneering robotics company, has developed a new robotic biomanufacturing cluster that achieves a 74% cost reduction for life-saving cell therapies. This breakthrough, published in peer-reviewed studies with UCSF, leverages collaborative robot arms from Universal Robots (UR), promising to transform how these complex treatments are produced. As UR’s first official partner in the cell and gene therapy sector, Multiply Labs’ robotically automated manufacturing processes will significantly expand patient access to therapies currently priced between $300,000 and $2 million per dose.

Leveraging collaborative robots from Universal Robots, Multiply Labs has demonstrated breakthrough results in the manufacturing of life-saving cell therapies.

Leveraging collaborative robots from Universal Robots, Multiply Labs has demonstrated breakthrough results in the manufacturing of life-saving cell therapies.

“Historically, cell and gene therapy manufacturing has been manual, almost artisanal,” says Fred Parietti, CEO of Multiply Labs. “Expert scientists perform hundreds of tasks by hand, from pipetting to shaking cells.” Unlike mass-produced drugs, personalized cell therapies, often used to treat blood cancers like lymphoma and leukemia, require a customized dose from each patient’s own cells, making large-batch production impossible. A single microbial contamination renders the entire product unusable, leading to costly manufacturing failures.

A quantum leap in cell therapy manufacturing

Multiply Labs’ modular ‘robotic biomanufacturing cluster’ features multiple UR robot arms working in parallel, stacked floor-to-ceiling with collision avoidance, handling the entire cell therapy manufacturing process. This system faithfully replicates manual processes with enhanced efficiency, repeatability, and sanitary conditions. Dr. Jonathan Esensten, Director of the Advanced Biotherapy Center at Sheba Medical Center (formerly UCSF faculty), collaborated with Multiply Labs to develop the robotic solution: “When we compared a traditional manual manufacturing process for these cell therapies to a robotic process doing the exact same process, we found a cost reduction of approximately 74%,” he confirms, adding: “Growing T cells is something that we have been doing for a long time, but to have the robotic system do it without any human hands touching the cells throughout the process, that is a quantum leap in terms of being able to manufacture these medicines at a lower cost, and in a smaller space.”

Up to 100x more patient doses per square foot of cleanroom

Beyond cost savings, the robotic system drastically improves space utilization, says Parietti, citing up to 100x more patient doses per square foot of cleanroom compared to a typical manual process. Quality and sterility are also significantly enhanced. “Robots don’t breathe, and they don’t touch stuff they’re not supposed to touch,” says the Multiply Labs CEO. The UCSF study confirms this: “While human handling led to contamination in one case, we did not see any contamination in the robotic process,” says Dr. Esensten.

Imitation learning for process fidelity

A core innovation is Multiply Labs’ ‘imitation learning’ technology, where robots learn from expert human demonstrations rather than dictating new processes. “We ask the pharmaceutical companies that we work with to videotape their scientists performing the tasks. We then feed this data to the robots, and the robots learn to effectively replicate what scientists were doing in the lab, just more efficiently, more repeatably, 24/7, and in parallel,” explains Parietti, emphasizing how this approach allows the UR robots to “self-learn hundreds of new tasks” with exponentially lower engineering costs. According to Dr. Esensten, this process fidelity is also crucial for regulatory compliance, potentially saving decades and billions of dollars in re-approval costs by replicating existing, already approved processes. “Instead of starting from square zero in terms of drug approval, companies can now document that this is the exact same manufacturing process. It just happens to be done by a robot.”

Universal Robots chosen after suites of tests

Multiply Labs chose Universal Robots for their robotics cluster after closely evaluating several different collaborative robots, says Head of Robotics at Multiply Labs, Nadia Kreciglowa: “UR was chosen due to their crucial six-axis capabilities, unrivaled force mode for delicate handling, seamless software integration, robust community support, and cleanroom compatibility.”

According to Jean-Pierre Hathout, President, Universal Robots, the new partnership illustrates the profound impact of collaborative automation in the healthcare space: “By empowering Multiply Labs to replicate intricate manual processes with high precision and scale, our cobots are redefining efficiency in pharmaceutical manufacturing,” he says, adding “More importantly, it’s driving significant cost reductions while broadening access to life-saving treatments. At its core, this partnership is a testament to how robotics can elevate human capability and serve critical needs in medicine.”

The Multiply Labs robotic cluster is already deployed in global pharmaceutical companies with results now also documented in collaboration with scientists at Stanford University. “This will really change the way we think about the manufacturing of these bespoke, custom cell and gene therapies for patients,” says Parietti. “We will ultimately improve patient access globally by lowering manufacturing costs, enabling distributed production worldwide of these life-saving therapies.”
