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.
