Drone stocks, including ZenaTech (NASDAQ: ZENA), Red Cat Holdings (NASDAQ: RCAT), Ondas Holdings (NASDAQ: ONDS), Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (NASDAQ: KTOS), and Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO) (CSE: DPRO) could fly to higher highs.
For one, drones are just starting to revolutionize various multi-billion-dollar industires, such as construction and infrastructure, agriculture, logistics, energy and utilities, public security, engineering and telecom to name a few.
Two, with support from the Trump Administration, drone technology has become an essential tool for the government. Remember, the White House’s AI Action Plan and the three Executive Orders issued in July 2025 prioritize domestic AI innovation, infrastructure development, and deployment of ideologically neutral AI technologies.
In addition, companies, like ZenaTech, are seeing substantial demand for its Drone as a Service (DaaS), a potential $355.55 billion market, as noted by Research and Markets. In fact, ZenaTech’s DaaS model, for example, provides businesses and government customers with a flexible and convenient on-demand pay-per-use or subscription access to drone services for surveying, inspections, precision farming, or power washing services, while benefiting from the automation of old tech or manual processes.
Fueling further upside, ZenaTech’s ZenaDrone just added 15,000 sq. ft. to its Dubai-Area Operations Expanding Manufacturing Capacity and Strengthening R&D for Commercial and Defense Drone Products
ZenaTech just announced the expansion of its drone manufacturing operations in Sharjah, UAE, nearby Dubai, enabling space to scale production, R&D work, and Drone as a Service operations. This expansion is a key part of ZenaTech’s strategy to meet future demand expected in growing commercial and defense markets.
The newly secured space consists of 12,000 sq. ft. which will be dedicated to manufacturing and R&D operations, and 3,000 sq. ft. of space which will be dedicated to Drone as a Service operations. This is in addition to the existing 10,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility the company currently operates in Sharjah.
As noted by Dr. Shaun Passley, CEO of ZenaTech, “Expanding our manufacturing and R&D footprint as well as adding to our team in Sharjah is a strategic milestone that will further boost our ability to design and deliver innovative drone solutions at scale. This expansion not only accelerates production capability but also enhances our R&D capabilities to improve technology performance and timelines, ensuring we remain agile and competitive to leverage growing global commercial and defense market opportunities.”
ZenaTech’s Sharjah facility currently designs and manufactures the following products:
- ZenaDrone 1000 – A multifunction VTOL platform designed for commercial purposes such as precision agriculture and BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) surveillance and inspection. It is also used for defense logistics, border security, and infrastructure support. Key defense uses include intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), tactical cargo delivery, and field operations such as medical or supply transport.
- IQ Square – A mid-range, high-endurance drone built for land surveys and outdoor visual like of sight inspection and monitoring. Defense applications include perimeter security, battlefield intelligence, and remote asset monitoring.
- IQ Nano – An ultra-compact indoor drone optimized for commercial inventory management that reads bar codes on packages and inputs into an ERP database improving safety and speed of inventory audits. It can also be used for security, surveillance, and tactical reconnaissance in GPS-denied environments such as military warehouses, urban infrastructure, and secure facilities.
