**ZenaTech Creates First Quantum Computing Prototype Enabling Disruptive AI Drone Speed and Precision for Future Commercial and US Defense Applications**

Vancouver, British Columbia, (July 10, 2025) — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"), a business technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drones, Drone as a Service (DaaS), Enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, today announces the successful development of its first quantum computing prototype consisting of a framework for the rapid analysis and processing of large datasets for its AI drone solutions. Using weather forecasting algorithms as part of its Clear Sky project as a test case, the company has created a precedent framework for real time analysis of massive amounts of data that can be captured through AI drone sensors while in the air.

The Company envisions commercial applications ranging from highly efficient precision agriculture to predictive energy infrastructure inspections. Defense applications include enhancing real-time battlefield decision-making with faster and more precise threat detection, reconnaissance, and advance electronic warfare capabilities.

"We're not just building smarter drones, we're building a quantum-intelligent edge where data becomes decisions in an instant, whether it's a battlefield or a farm field," said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. "We believe this quantum framework we are creating is just the beginning as we've now demonstrated it can use it for large datasets. We plan to keep expanding R&D capabilities, with the goal of growing our team of 6 to 25 over the coming months. The end goal is clear: accelerate time to market, reduce operational costs, and lead the industry as a true innovator," added Dr. Passley.

ZenaTech's Clear Sky project is one of the company's quantum computing R&D initiatives focused on weather forecasting that will use AI drones and drone fleets plus quantum to better predict localized weather for more accurate prediction of extreme weather events saving lives and reducing costs and destruction. The weather application and algorithms used for the prototype track and analyze multiple key atmospheric parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind, barometric pressure, and precipitation. Internal testing using historical open-source data has shown a high degree of accuracy with trusted weather platforms and actual data, validating both its accuracy and reliability.

Quantum computing combined with AI-powered drone applications enables disruptive speed, precision, and autonomy by dramatically accelerating data analysis, optimizing complex decisions, and enhancing real-time responsiveness. In commercial sectors, this means drones can autonomously inspect vast energy grids or farmland, instantly analyze multispectral data, and adjust actions on the fly—leading to lower costs and higher productivity in agriculture, logistics, and infrastructure. In defense, the same capabilities empower autonomous surveillance drones to process sensor data and identify threats in real time, coordinate swarm or drone fleet movements, and dynamically adapt to changing battlefield conditions—all with minimal human input. This fusion of technologies allows drones to make faster, smarter decisions in unpredictable, data-intensive environments—reshaping what's possible across industries.

For weather forecasting, quantum computing can rapidly process and simulate complex atmospheric models by analyzing massive datasets from AI-enabled drones equipped with weather sensors, LiDAR, and imaging systems. This allows for highly accurate, real-time weather forecasting and microclimate prediction, improving response times for disaster management, aviation safety, and environmental monitoring.

Quantum computing is a next-generation computing technology that uses the principles of quantum physics to process information exponentially faster than traditional computers, enabling it to solve highly complex problems that are otherwise unsolvable by even the most powerful classical computers of today.

**ZenaTech Reacts to 'Unleashing U.S. Military Drone Dominance' Memo — A Game-Changing Policy Directive for ZenaDrone**

Vancouver, British Columbia, (July 11, 2025) — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"), a business technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drones, Drone as a Service (DaaS), Enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, today reacts to the July 10, 2025 new policy directive from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, 'Unleashing U.S. Military Drone Dominance.' ZenaTech confirms that under this policy directive, its entire portfolio of ZenaDrone drones qualify as Group 1–2 expendable assets and are now enabled for direct purchases by field commanders for both training and real-world missions, and they no longer need Green or Blue UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) certification.

The policy directive, which he called drones "the biggest battlefield innovation in a generation," mandates the rapid acquisition, deployment, and operational use of small, low-cost Group 1 and 2 drones. The directive now treats them as expendable commodities rather than durable assets, which the Company anticipates will streamline bureaucracy, encourage innovation including the use of prototypes and commercial off-the-shelf systems, to ensure the US military can outpace adversaries by rapidly scaling drone capabilities on the battlefield. This memo also marks a paradigm shift, placing battlefield acquisition authority in the hands of frontline commanders, not procurement offices.

"The new policy directive is a game-changer for our company and the entire small drone industry. By removing traditional UAS certification barriers for Group 1 and 2 drones, it empowers us to deliver our cutting-edge and affordable solutions directly to frontline operators, accelerating innovation and battlefield impact like never before'" said ZenaTech CEO Shaun Passley. "This means field commanders can buy our rugged, mission flexible drones directly for training, exercises, real-world missions, or even prototypes. We are now accelerating our manufacturing and defense business development efforts to meet the urgent demand and help the US military maintain its drone dominance."

**Key Implications**:

- Rapid Field Acquisition – ZenaDrone bypasses bureaucratic delays, available immediately to frontline units.

- Prototype-Friendly Deployment – Early-stage versions can be purchased and tested in operational contexts.

- Consumable Classification – Group 1 and 2 drones are now treated like expendable commodities rather than durable assets therefore inexpensive, replaceable, and low administrative burden.

- Multi-Mission Utility – Ready for ISR (Inspection, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) missions, counter-drone roles, and more.

Timelines from the Memo:

- By Sept 1: Each service branch to build "experimental formations" tailored to small UAS.

- By end of FY 2026: All squads equipped with low-cost, expendable drones.

- By 2027: Full integration of UAS into major training events across the Department of Defense.

The company's portfolio of defense drone offerings include:

(Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"), a business technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drones, Drone as a Service (DaaS), Enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, today announces it will accelerate expansion of its Phoenix Arizona-based facilities -- including tripling the square footage size -- to enable full US drone manufacturing, assembly and testing. This expansion comes earlier than expected due to the recent transformative US policy directives from the White House, the Department of Defense, and the recently passed 'One Big Beautiful Bill' that collectively have unlocked federal funding for domestic production, cut outdated certification and procurement barriers, and fast-tracked deployment directly to frontline units without requiring Blue or Green UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) certification.

These new directives make it dramatically easier and faster for American drone companies—especially those building Group 1 and 2 affordable drone systems—to sell directly to the military, scale production, and innovate without delays from traditional defense procurement bottlenecks. Together, they signal a clear national priority: build drones in America, field them fast, and outpace adversaries.

"These recent actions represent a historic turning point that gives us the confidence to start substantial facility expansion now," said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. "By cutting red tape, opening funding channels, and fast-tracking field deployment for drones, they've created an unprecedented opportunity for us to sell directly to the US military at speed and scale. These reforms allow us to innovate faster and expand production to meet urgent defense needs without being held back by outdated certification and procurement hurdles."

ZenaTech is currently seeking a new larger facility to enable US start-to-finish drone manufacturing and to house its existing Phoenix team of seven which it plans to grow to up to 30 over the next six to12 months. This site is in addition to its existing operational manufacturing facility in Sharjah, UAE.

At the new facility, the company will produce its portfolio of defense and commercial drone offerings including:

The **ZenaDrone 1000**, a medium-sized (12'x7') VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) capable of lifting ~40 kg with AI-enabled autonomy, secure communications via its proprietary DroneNet system, and rugged construction. It is designed for BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) use, commercial inspections, and precision agriculture applications. Defense applications include ISR- inspection, surveillance, and reconnaissance applications, and the company has completed paid trials with both the US Air Force and Navy Reserve for critical field cargo delivery (e.g., blood). The company is also working on a gas-powered version for longer flight times for applications such as border patrol.

**ZenaTech's ZenaDrone Subsidiary Applies for Green UAS Certification for IQ Square Drone to Sell to US Defense and Government**

**Vancouver, British Columbia, (July 22, 2025)** -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"), a business technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drones, Drone as a Service (DaaS), Enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, today announces that its subsidiary ZenaDrone has submitted the IQ Square drone for Green UAS (Uncrewed Aircraft System) certification, allowing it to be added to the pre-approved procurement list for US Department of Defense (DoD) and government buyers. The compact and rugged ZenaDrone IQ Square drone is designed for line-of-sight applications including infrastructure inspections, terrain mapping, surveillance, and reconnaissance in high-risk environments.

"ZenaDrone's IQ Square Green UAS submission marks a critical milestone in our commitment to national security and defense readiness," said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. "This is not just about compliance—it's about positioning our company to meet the highest standards for US government and DoD use. Green UAS is our on-ramp to achieving Blue UAS certification which will open more doors to broader federal adoption and deployment in mission-critical operations.

"Recent policy directives from the White House, the Secretary of Defense, and Congress are creating real momentum—prioritizing US-made and secure NDAA-compliant systems like ours, while unlocking funding and accelerating procurement. The message is clear: the future of drones is American, and we are ready." Dr. Passley added.

Green UAS certification is a compliance and cybersecurity framework developed by AUVSI, the leading trade association for the uncrewed systems industry, in collaboration with the US DoD. It ensures that drones are free of components from foreign adversaries and meet rigorous standards for cybersecurity, data protection, and supply chain integrity. Green UAS certification will be streamlined for faster approvals under recent Executive Orders—paving the way for better alignment with Blue UAS certification benefiting drone makers getting products to market.

Drones like the IQ Square offer critical advantages in military and government applications: real-time surveillance, infrastructure monitoring, and remote mission planning in hazardous environments. Advanced imaging tools such as LiDAR and thermal sensors enable early detection of structural vulnerabilities and security threats, while rapid mapping and ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) functions support logistics and operational command.

The ZenaDrone IQ Square is an advanced AI-powered drone designed for land surveys and various types of inspections and reconnaissance missions in defense applications. The drone has a 40 x 40" and 50"x50" VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) frame with autonomous charging capabilities and delivers 20-25 minutes of flight time.
