VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), 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 U.S.-based subsidiary, ZenaDrone, is preparing to initiate the Blue UAS (Uncrewed Aircraft System) certification application for its IQ Quad drone to enable future U.S. defense agency and government procurement list inclusion. The\u00a0IQ Quad<\/a>, which was announced earlier this year, is an autonomous AI drone purpose-built for fast and accurate land surveys and geospatial mapping applications.<\/p>\n

Currently it is undergoing flight performance and payload sensor integration testing, as well as finalized bill of material documentation as the company prepares application submission under the Green-to-Blue UAS pathway framework. The Blue UAS conferred by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is deemed the most important of the two, opening up a broader range of opportunities for defense agency use.<\/p>\n

“Preparing the IQ Quad to enter the Blue UAS certification process is an important step in expanding our portfolio of trusted, NDAA-compliant drone solutions for U.S. government and defense agency customers,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. “We believe having the Blue UAS certification will offer us opportunities to sell the IQ Quad to U.S. government organizations such as the Army Corps of Engineers, the Air Force Civil Engineer Center, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Bureau of Land Management, all of which require secure, high-precision geospatial mapping and land surveying capabilities. As federal agencies continue to modernize critical infrastructure and engineering operations, we believe this drone is well-positioned to deliver the mission-critical data and operational efficiency increasingly in demand.”<\/p>\n

Management believes there are many U.S. government and defense agencies with growing requirements for secure, NDAA-compliant drone solutions to support a variety of applications. As well as land surveying and geospatial mapping, these include terrain modeling, construction planning, airfield and base mapping, utility and asset management, environmental monitoring, and disaster response needs. The IQ Quad platform capability to quickly and efficiently collect high-resolution geospatial data positions it to support mission-critical engineering, installation management, and infrastructure modernization initiatives across the U.S. defense ecosystem.<\/p>\n

The IQ Quad is a compact multi-mission quadcopter designed for rapid deployment and precision geospatial data collection across government and infrastructure environments. The platform is engineered for advanced mapping, land surveying, terrain modeling, infrastructure inspection, construction planning, and environmental monitoring applications. It features a modular and interchangeable payload architecture for high-resolution imaging, AI-assisted autonomy, and secure communications capabilities designed for field operations in complex environments.<\/p>\n

ZenaDrone currently has three drone platforms in the multi-month process of evaluation for the Green-to-Blue UAS certification administered by the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI)<\/a> and the DoD. The certification process, in part, verifies that advanced cybersecurity controls and supply-chain documentation are in place, with only domestic or cleared suppliers. Blue UAS certification establishes National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) compliance and clears a \u201cmade in America\u201d drone manufacturer for direct procurement by U.S. defense agencies, federal departments, and allied government buyers.<\/p>\n
