\nCompany to engage with defense decision makers, showcase drone products and podcasting opportunities, and present keynote address on its DaaS model facilitating scalable AI autonomy platforms for defense
\n<\/h2>\n
\n

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (\u201cZenaTech\u201d), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, today announces that its drone subsidiary ZenaDrone will mount its most comprehensive defense-focused presence to date at\u00a0Xponential 2026<\/a>, the flagship conference and exhibition of the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), taking place May 11\u201314, 2026 in Detroit, Michigan.<\/p>\n

\u201cXponential is where the defense autonomous systems community convenes, and this year we are bringing an in-depth view of what ZenaDrone and our Drone as a Service business has built,\u201d said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. \u201cWe are not just showing hardware, but opening a real conversation with defense leaders about practical AI autonomy, what it takes to deploy at scale, and how a platform model like ours changes what is possible for military and government buyers. Through our exhibit booth podcast studio, our drones on display, our teams on hand, and our keynote presentation on DaaS delivery innovation models for defense, these are all designed to facilitate exactly that kind of engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exhibiting at Booth #36019, the highlight will be on ZenaDrone\u2019s integrated drone hardware and software solutions, and the company\u2019s DaaS service-based delivery, while engaging directly with defense, government, and enterprise stakeholders. For the first time at a major industry event, the company will operate a live podcast studio directly inside its exhibit booth. The \u201cDrone of the Future<\/a>\u201d podcast, will invite industry leaders and operators across the drone and defense ecosystem to recording sessions to explain their products and share industry insights. A keynote ZenaDrone company presentation will take place on Thursday, May 14th at 11am ET, which will examine the generic \u201cDrone as a Service\u201d delivery model not simply as a commercial services framework, but as a practical AI autonomy delivery platform for defense that packages hardware, AI software, and operational infrastructure into an easily deployable, cost-effective solution.<\/p>\n

Attendees will be able to interact directly with the drone hardware and with ZenaTech\u2019s technical and business development teams to understand real-world performance specifications, integration pathways, and deployment models relevant to defense agency needs such as base security, perimeter monitoring, ISR applications, specialized cargo deliveries, autonomous logistics, and counter-UAS.<\/p>\n

ZenaTech will showcase its dual-use suite of drone solutions spanning defense and commercial markets. This includes the ZenaDrone 1000, designed for defense and security applications such as intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), border and perimeter security, critical infrastructure monitoring, search and rescue operations, and counter-UAS environments. The Company will also feature the IQ Nano indoor drone for inventory and warehouse management, along with the IQ Square for outdoor line-of-sight inspections, and IQ Quad, a purpose-built land surveying drone. These capabilities can be delivered through ZenaTech\u2019s Drone as a Service offering, enabling scalable, on-demand deployment without the need for upfront hardware investment, operations or maintenance.<\/p>\n
