ZenaTech Files Patent for Maritime Defense System Featuring ZenaDrone 2000 and IQ Glider
ZenaTech filed a provisional patent application for its maritime drone defense system combining the ZenaDrone 2000 interceptor drone and IQ Glider marine launch and refueling station. The patent covers system architecture for persistent, ship-based interception of multiple unmanned threats using autonomous docking, refueling and AI-driven engagement.
1. Provisional Patent Filing
ZenaTech submitted a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its integrated maritime defense solution. The filing secures early intellectual property rights on the combined ZenaDrone 2000 interceptor and IQ Glider station architecture designed to counter drone swarm threats at sea.
2. System Architecture and Features
The ZenaDrone 2000 interceptor is designed for gas-powered, autonomous deployment, while the IQ Glider marine station provides automated launch, docking and refueling capabilities. AI-driven navigation and threat engagement software enable continuous, ship-based interception of multiple unmanned aerial targets, even in GPS-denied environments.
3. Development Timeline and Strategic Impact
Both prototypes are currently in active development, with ZenaDrone 2000 testing expected before year-end and the IQ Glider progressing in parallel. Securing patent-pending status builds a defensible IP moat for ZenaTech as it pursues defense contracts and positions the company in a growing $100 billion drone services market by 2030.
