ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), a provider of AI-integrated drone and Quantum Computing solutions, today announced the launch of the ZenaDrone IQ Quad. This new autonomous Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) drone is specifically engineered to meet the high-precision demands of the land surveying, construction, and urban planning sectors. ZenaTech (Nasdaq: ZENA) specializes in AI drones, enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing. Through its subsidiary, ZenaDrone, the company innovates across agriculture, defense, and logistics. With offices in North America, Europe, Taiwan, and the UAE, ZenaTech continues to expand its DaaS footprint through strategic acquisitions.

Strategic Integration into “Drone as a Service” (DaaS)

The IQ Quad is not just a hardware release; it is a core component of ZenaTech’s vertically integrated Drone as a Service (DaaS) platform. The company intends to deploy the drone across its 19 U.S. and three international locations, starting with on-site integration and testing before a global rollout.

“Land surveying is a large, growing and underserved market,” stated Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. “We believe the IQ Quad will significantly improve the productivity of our survey professionals while strengthening our vertically integrated DaaS platform and meaningfully expanding recurring revenue opportunities.”

Technical Specifications & Capabilities

The IQ Quad is a medium-class enterprise quadcopter designed for field deployment in complex environments. Key features include:

• Sensor Versatility: Supports 4K cameras, LiDAR, multispectral, and thermal sensors.

• Autonomous Operations: Features autonomous recharging via a specialized landing station.

• Durability: Built with a weather-resistant carbon fiber airframe and folding arms for portability.

• Performance: Offers up to 45 minutes of flight endurance, a 5 km range, and a payload capacity of 2–3 kg.

• Safety: Equipped with 360-degree situational awareness and terrain-following sensors to ensure survey-grade accuracy.

Market Outlook and Growth

The launch positions ZenaTech to capitalize on a rapidly expanding sector. Industry analysts estimate the global drone surveying market is growing at 19% annually, with projections reaching $11 billion by 2033. The broader geospatial and mapping market is forecasted to hit $50 billion over the next decade as digital data insights replace traditional manual workflows.

ZenaTech’s business model centers on acquiring established service businesses and “tech-enabling” them with their proprietary drone fleet. This strategy aims to create immediate cash flow while building a scalable network of technology-driven field services.

Industry Context

The expansion of the drone-enriched data market highlights several key players that form the backbone of the modern geospatial and defense ecosystem. This includes Autodesk Inc (NASDAQ: ADSK), whose BIM 360 software serves as the primary repository for drone survey data; Trimble Inc (NASDAQ: TRMB), a global leader in both hardware and software for precision land surveying; and Bentley Systems Inc (NASDAQ: BSY), which focuses on critical infrastructure and the development of digital twins. In the defense sector, Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (NASDAQ: KTOS) continues to be a prominent name in high-performance unmanned systems, while Velo3D (NASDAQ: VLD) represents a “pick-and-shovel” opportunity by providing advanced 3D metal printing for drone and defense components. Additionally, companies like Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) are expanding the ecosystem by integrating space-based data with terrestrial unmanned technologies
