“ This national strategy to expand and secure American drone leadership leverages our years of drone development work and clears a faster path to commercial and defense markets by cutting red tape. ”

Why This Matters
The June 6th White House executive order, ‘Unleashing American Drone Dominance’, marks a pivotal shift in the U.S. drone landscape. By streamlining FAA approvals, prioritizing domestic manufacturing, and protecting supply chains, the directive opens substantial new markets for American drone companies.
ZenaTech is seizing this opportunity by accelerating production of its ZenaDrone 1000 and IQ series drones at its Arizona facility. These AI-powered, modular drones serve both defense and commercial applications—ranging from ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) to critical infrastructure inspections and tactical resupply.
By aligning with the federal mandate and pursuing certifications like Green UAS and Blue UAS, ZenaTech is positioning itself as a key player in the expanding U.S. drone ecosystem. The company’s proactive move underscores the strategic importance of drones in national security and commercial innovation, while demonstrating how U.S. firms can thrive under a supportive policy framework.
