ZenaTech, Inc., a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone solutions and enterprise SaaS solutions, today announced that its subsidiary company, ZenaDrone, has been granted an exemption by the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) for visual line-of-sight commercial applications and data collection in the United States, subject to specified conditions and limitations. This approval enables live testing and evaluation of the ZenaDrone 1000 product with US-based partners and potential customers, and live demonstration of the product’s capabilities may commence at US drone tradeshow and exhibit events.
“This is an important milestone and central to our work with US-based customers and partners as we refine our drone solutions, distribution, and manufacturing plans in the US,” said CEO, Dr. Shaun Passley Ph.D. “It is also a step towards building our flight hours, air-worthiness accreditation, and our overall solution credibility as we continue to perfect new ways to incorporate drones into mission-critical business operations in verticals such as agriculture, defense, and logistics.
“Last year, ZenaDrone signed a joint venture agreement with Night Sun, a Native American Corporation that plans to manufacture and sell drones for use by Native American tribes across the US. This FAA approval enables us to start our work developing and testing our drone applications for search and rescue, firefighting, cargo delivery, and land surveying with this partner,” concluded Dr. Passley.
The ZenaDrone 1000 is an autonomous drone product designed for stable flight, maneuverability, heavy lift capabilities, incorporating innovative software technology, AI, sensors, and purpose-built attachments, along with compact and rugged hardware engineered for industrial use. Currently, it is in use by farmers in Ireland enabling smart farming, plant tracking, and crop management, and it has been piloted in the field with the US military for delivery of temperature-controlled critical medical supplies.
