ZenaTech Seeks Green UAS Certification for Heavy-Lift ZenaDrone 1000
ZenaTech’s ZenaDrone subsidiary has formally applied for Green UAS certification for its heavy-lift ZenaDrone 1000 AI drone platform, aiming to meet U.S. Department of War procurement requirements. Green UAS approval will secure NDAA-aligned cybersecurity, supply chain integrity and pave the way for Blue UAS certification and defense ISR and cargo operations.
1. Certification Application Initiated
ZenaDrone has submitted its formal application for Green UAS certification for the ZenaDrone 1000, marking the first compliance step toward federal procurement. This process verifies that the platform is free of adversarial components and meets strict cybersecurity and data-protection standards.
2. Green UAS as Precursor to Blue UAS
Green UAS certification ensures supply chain integrity and baseline cybersecurity, while enabling expedited progression to Blue UAS status. Blue UAS builds on the framework to provide higher assurance for mission-critical defense operations and streamlined Department of War contract approvals.
3. ZenaDrone 1000 Capabilities
The ZenaDrone 1000 is an AI-powered VTOL heavy-lift platform optimized for ISR, real-time surveillance, tactical reconnaissance and secure cargo transport. Its modular design supports multi-mission configurations in high-risk environments, from infrastructure monitoring to mission-critical logistics.
4. Defense Procurement Implications
Achieving Green UAS certification positions ZenaDrone for inclusion on approved U.S. Department of War procurement pathways. Success could unlock federal contracts for intelligence, surveillance and cargo missions, potentially driving significant revenue growth for ZenaTech.
