ZenaTech Inc. ($ZENA) is actively broadening its footprint in the drone services market with its 27th Drone as a Service (DaaS) acquisition, adding Idaho-based Galena-Benchmark Engineering to its portfolio. This move marks the company’s entry into Idaho, a state with growing demand in construction, agriculture, and public infrastructure sectors. By integrating drone-enabled surveying and environmental monitoring into Galena-Benchmark’s established civil engineering and land surveying services, ZenaTech aims to enhance operational efficiency and create new recurring revenue streams through its ZenaWorx platform.
In parallel, $ZENA is pushing innovation in drone-based wildfire management by filing five provisional U.S. patents for acoustic fire suppression technology. This novel approach uses low-frequency sound waves to disrupt flames, offering a potentially safer and more versatile alternative to traditional water or chemical methods. The technology is designed to complement existing firefighting efforts and could expand into protecting critical infrastructure and residential areas, addressing a growing market need as wildfire risks intensify.
On the defense front, ZenaTech’s subsidiary ZenaDrone has begun initial flight tests of the Interceptor P-1, an affordable, one-way autonomous drone designed to counter hostile unmanned aerial systems. This vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) interceptor targets a price point under $5,000, positioning it as a cost-effective alternative to expensive missile-based defense systems. The ongoing tests near Mesa, Arizona, will evaluate flight performance and autonomous capabilities, with future phases focusing on complex interception scenarios and integration with ZenaTech’s AI command software. This development aligns with rising global demand for scalable drone defense solutions in military and critical infrastructure sectors.
Additionally, $ZENA’s recent acquisition of Velocity Geomatics strengthens its presence in Canada’s energy sector, capitalizing on increased oil prices and substantial planned investments. Velocity’s drone-based regulatory and environmental surveying services are well-positioned to benefit from the region’s expanding oil and gas activities, supporting ZenaTech’s long-term growth in field service operations.
Overall, ZenaTech is leveraging strategic acquisitions and cutting-edge technology development to expand its service offerings across multiple industries, from civil engineering and energy to emergency response and defense, positioning itself for diversified growth in the evolving drone economy.
U.S. markets are closed this weekend and will reopen on Monday, August 31st, 2026, at 9:30 AM ET.
