ZenaTech (ZENA) has unveiled plans to patent and speed up the deployment of Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (Counter-UAS) technology on its ZenaDrone 1000 platform. This initiative comes in response to the White House Executive Order titled 'Restoring American Airspace Sovereignty' issued on June 6, 2025. The ZenaDrone 1000 is an AI-powered octocopter with a 12x7-foot configuration, capable of transporting up to a 40 kg payload and flying for an hour before needing to recharge.
The enhanced ZenaDrone 1000 will integrate real-time threat detection and neutralization capabilities. This advancement aims at capturing the military, homeland security, and critical infrastructure protection markets. In a strategic move to expedite research, development, testing, and deployment, ZenaTech plans to bolster its engineering and defense teams. The executive order is expected to significantly benefit US-based drone companies by elevating the demand for counter-UAS technologies and ensuring a preference for domestically produced systems.
The planned enhancements for the ZenaDrone 1000 are part of ZenaTech’s larger strategy to align with the new regulatory priorities in counter-drone technology, positioning itself at the forefront of the aerial defense market. The company is actively responding to this executive order, which is set to boost demand and create stable long-term funding, especially within defense and homeland security sectors.
