ZenaDrone Begins In-House PCB Flight Testing, Advancing Blue UAS Certification Path
ZENA sits 57% above its 52-week low of $1.15.
Summary
ZenaTech's subsidiary ZenaDrone has started flight testing drones with proprietary PCBs made at its Taiwan facility, a key step toward NDAA-compliant Blue UAS certification. This vertical integration reduces reliance on third-party suppliers, potentially improving margins and accelerating certification timelines. The move positions the company to capture U.S. defense contracts as Chinese-made drones face federal restrictions. The milestone follows a series of capital raises and acquisitions, including recent DaaS deals and a $25M offering, indicating aggressive scaling. Successful validation could unlock higher-volume DoD procurement, though certification outcomes remain pending.
