Outlook
Management believes ZenaTech is well positioned to continue its growth trajectory in 2026. Key growth drivers include:
Full-Year DaaS Contributions: The 2025 acquisitions are expected to contribute a full year of revenue in 2026, compared to partial-year contributions in 2025
Drone Integration/Conversion Program: As surveying, inspection and cleaning operations that are acquired integrate and migrate to ZenaDrone-based delivery, the Company expects to reduce costs per job while expanding capacity and improving segment margins
Continued M&A Activity: ZenaTech plans to pursue additional targeted land survey and legacy low-tech service company acquisitions in sectors that are ripe for drone innovation, in new U.S. states and internationally
Manufacturing Operations: Continued focus on monthly assembled drone and component manufacturing goals in each of our three facilities, and capacity expanding as well as setting up new facilities to be fully operational- in Arizona and Ukraine,
Product Development, Testing and Pilot Programs: Continued focus on advancing the development, testing, certification, and participation of customers in pilot programs for our drone solutions at various stages of commercialization, to bring solutions to full in-market status and generating revenue
Industrial Markets: Continued investment in the ZenaDrone 1000 platform and IQ Series drones, and customer engagement in pilots is expected to yield revenue streams in precision agriculture markets, for indoor inventory management and logistics markets, security and inspection markets, and other verticals
Defense Markets: Continued investment in our specific defense drone development for the ZenaDrone 1000 platform and IQ Series drones, and Counter-UAS platforms, as well as engagement with US Defense agency program managers and stakeholders for demonstrations and pilot programs for applications including indoor inventory management and cargo drone are planned for 2026
“The demand for drone solutions in both the defense and commercial markets continues at double digit growth, and we believe that we can capture meaningful market share in 2026 and beyond,” added Dr. Pasley. “Our real time response to emerging needs on the international stage has positioned us as a leader in the drone space. We are creating products for land, sea, and air defense, addressing critical asymmetrical modern warfare, that is enemy threats that are inexpensive to deploy but extraordinarily expensive to counter using traditional intercept methods. Our small one-way Interceptor P-1, planned to be priced at less than $5000 USD can manage drone swarms, and our IQ Aqua, which can detect and respond to underwater mine threats without putting divers or manned vessels at risk, will provide our defense customers with cost-effective, scalable solutions. Further, we announced this month that we are in the process of establishing a manufacturing facility and operations in Ukraine to accelerate production of our defense interceptor systems, as well as a testing facility to validate our products under an active threat environment,” concluded Dr. Pasley.
