(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 ZenaDrone subsidiary has commenced the initial flight testing phase of its Interceptor P-1, the Company\u2019s low-cost, one-way autonomous counter-drone platform designed to physically intercept hostile unmanned aerial systems (UAS).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The commencement of testing represents a significant step in expanding the Company\u2019s Counter-UAS drone portfolio and integrated defense system. The Interceptor P-1 is designed as a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), one-way autonomous interceptor intended to provide an affordable alternative to traditional missile-based drone defense systems and asymmetric warfare combatting drone swarms with multi-million-dollar missiles.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cOur engineering team has reached an important milestone as we begin flight testing of the Interceptor P-1,\u201d said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech. \u201cThis program is focused on validating the aircraft\u2019s flight characteristics, autonomous capabilities, and system reliability before advancing to increasingly complex interception exercises. We believe the demand for affordable counter-drone solutions continues to grow globally as military organizations and critical infrastructure operators seek cost-effective methods to defend against rapidly evolving drone threats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The initial flight test campaign, to be conducted by the ZenaDrone engineering team at the company\u2019s testing range near its Mesa, Arizona facility, will evaluate vertical takeoff and landing performance, high-speed maneuverability, target acquisition and tracking algorithms, guidance controls, and communications reliability. Subsequent phases are expected to include autonomous target pursuit, moving-target intercept exercises, multi-drone operational scenarios, and integration with the Company&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=FCAGFN8-A6EICunrTdOGoMBXRmFeEf10l1Omk6d_BNRBLgccdOZmPHbVV0zFzlLYYfdxfBACVoXCFOEM-udUiIjXY_0yrSlJ2b7NUoN1GFBm0_rnvkyvompU_ugSSGKx2jf3utnLGiyowLIxNVIdbCcLVh2-o2XCH7alZ2_hZy8fGVIcLZkT3fK4nKZdJGNCRAHX3-fwYQvGKPNCXwaYiHr-TQk2woEtDA62c7xXUL1obAw11oyO0Pj6SuVnor0F-CUCEYGkK8bbuCci1NWql9RAhvPjsUK1BbLSUP-dDzxPUZatXnzoBKYum39N_RSZ\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Zena AI Counter-UAS command software<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=fIwqzWSVoEPJELDwe9kgyQsevAcbJXg3zRiz3z1MJl6f12x6toXg61ksJa7a0zzb9DLDKAgCKywAc_4JEUV9e_6krEeNF_eDc4Q-ltV7KKm8cLqNTVQSwbD8fB9Ay0L5OlPBGO1XhTnRFML2smQyUulpXEzu0TdQdAhQrHsQEgGY04KGjO4X5mrIwy94DIbEvTjyaoa5yT_dQk-49wOSG39CJoRfPUudBkfuCGlT09vWgESzdlZpmygmPcoAM0a55WWDi9-qkco8Y3EjejT2tg==\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">The Interceptor P-1 prototype<\/a> was first disclosed in March 2026 which included a target selling price of under $5,000 USD, positioning it as a significantly lower-cost alternative to traditional missile-based and laser-based intercept systems for modern asymmetric drone warfare.
