ZenaTech Drones: Every Model in the ZenaDrone Lineup

Yes. ZenaTech drones are built and sold through its ZenaDrone subsidiary, which publishes nine models from the ZenaDrone 1000 to the Interceptor P-1. ZenaDrone sells access to the aircraft as Drone as a Service (DaaS) and does not sell the airframes. Three of the nine carry the maker's own "(Initial Prototype)" label.

What ZenaTech Builds Through ZenaDrone

ZenaTech makes drones through its ZenaDrone subsidiary, which publishes nine models in its product navigation. The nine aircraft split into four groups by the job ZenaDrone says each one does.

  • Survey and agriculture: the ZenaDrone 1000, IQ Octo, IQ Quad and IQ Square, for crop spraying and seeding, land surveys and site inspection.
  • Indoor logistics: the IQ Nano, which scans barcodes and QR codes inside warehouses without GPS.
  • Defense and counter-drone: the Interceptor P-1 and the ZenaDrone 2000, built to stop enemy drones and drone swarms.
  • Underwater and confined space: the IQ Aqua and the IQ Sphere, for subsea inspection and surveillance where GPS signals may not reach.

ZenaTech Drones by Model

ZenaDrone publishes nine models, and the table lists each one with the job the maker states and the figures its product page carries. Some models cross groups: ZenaDrone positions the ZenaDrone 1000 for military operations as well as agricultural surveys, and the IQ Square for defense reconnaissance alongside construction inspection.

The Status column repeats the maker's own wording. A reader counting nine aircraft is counting six with no prototype label and three that ZenaDrone itself calls initial prototypes. All three prototypes sit at the defense-facing end of the lineup, while the survey and agriculture models carry no such label.

The Survey, Agriculture and Indoor Aircraft

The IQ Octo is ZenaDrone's precision spraying and seeding aircraft, an eight-motor design that carries up to 25 kg of seed or liquid. ZenaDrone rates it at 20 to 25 minutes per battery charge, and a swappable battery system lets an operator replace packs between flights.

The airframe takes either a tank with spray nozzles or a hopper with a spreader, so one aircraft handles both liquid treatments and seeding.

ZenaDrone says the IQ Octo minimises soil compaction and crop damage. It also says treating only the areas that need it cuts chemical, seed, water and fuel use. The agricultural drones overview and the XAG drones lineup cover other spraying aircraft to set it against.

The IQ Quad is a VTOL quadcopter for land surveying that carries 4K cameras, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and multispectral and thermal sensors. Its outputs include geo-tagged orthomosaic maps, cadastral and boundary maps, textured 3D mesh models and high-resolution video. It also produces digital elevation models (DEMs), digital terrain models (DTMs) and digital surface models (DSMs).

The IQ Square flies for about 20 minutes and then lands autonomously on its recharging pad. ZenaDrone lists it for construction site inspection, power line inspection, short-range land surveys and security, with interchangeable cameras and sensors and a power-washing option. It has retractable landing gear and collision detection.

The ZenaDrone 1000 is the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on the ZenaDrone homepage, built around an artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning system for autonomous flight. It carries multispectral sensors and 4K cameras, flies programmable routes, and lists a custom power management system, emergency backup and a parachute for landings as safety features.

ZenaDrone describes heavy lifting, long flight time and long range, but publishes no number for payload, flight time or range.

The IQ Nano is an indoor quadcopter whose high-resolution camera scans QR codes and barcodes on pallets, boxes and items. It is designed for indoor environments and does not rely on GPS. ZenaDrone offers application programming interfaces (APIs) into inventory-management software, and the drone charges on a pad with no cords or cables.

The Defense and Counter-Drone Aircraft

ZenaDrone's two counter-drone designs are the Interceptor P-1, a disposable fighter drone, and the ZenaDrone 2000, a gas-powered maritime platform that the maker labels an initial prototype. Both are pitched as a cheaper answer to drone attacks than missile interceptors.

The Interceptor P-1 locates, tracks and neutralises aerial threats by striking enemy drones through direct physical contact. ZenaDrone says this makes expensive missile interceptors unnecessary, and it states a target selling price of under $5,000 USD. That figure is a target the maker has stated, and ZenaDrone publishes no confirmed market price for the aircraft.

ZenaDrone calls the Interceptor P-1 a symmetrical response that avoids depleting higher-value stockpiles. It takes off vertically and needs no runway, so it can launch from tight or mobile locations, and AI navigation tracks and intercepts with minimal human control. Listed uses include border security, critical-infrastructure protection, drone protection over sensitive areas and atmospheric monitoring in cities.

The ZenaDrone 2000 is a high-endurance, gas-powered UAV for sea-based and coastal defense, built to counter slow-moving aerial threats and drone swarms. It launches from naval vessels, offshore platforms or coastal sites. ZenaDrone credits gas power for its 3 to 4 hours of endurance, which it says gives longer range and loiter time than battery-powered drones.

Onboard AI on the ZenaDrone 2000 handles detection, tracking and engagement of multiple aerial threats, and its swarm-ready architecture targets multi-vector attacks. ZenaDrone says it deploys at a fraction of the cost of missile-based interception, but publishes no dollar figure for it, and the Interceptor P-1 target price does not apply to the 2000. Its product page carries the "(Initial Prototype)" label.

The ZenaDrone 1000 also appears on the military industry page, framed for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and tactical response. ZenaDrone gives force protection and lower operating cost as the reasons. Readers comparing interceptors across makers can start with the counter-drone companies roundup and the counter-unmanned aircraft systems (counter-UAS) overview.

The Underwater and Confined-Space Prototypes

The IQ Aqua and the IQ Sphere both carry ZenaDrone's "(Initial Prototype)" label, and both are built for work outside open-air flight. The IQ Aqua goes underwater to 300 metres, and the IQ Sphere flies in enclosed spaces where GPS and radio signals may be unavailable.

The IQ Aqua is an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and ZenaDrone's entry into underwater robotics. ZenaDrone describes it as a multifunctional bathymetric drone for inspection, research and payload operations down to 300 metres. Military uses listed are mine detection, countermeasure support, port and harbour threat detection and ISR.

On the commercial side, ZenaDrone lists inspection of subsea pipelines and cables and of offshore drilling platforms. Multi-directional thrusters give six degrees of freedom (6DOF) of movement, and a high-definition (HD) camera with lighting is built in. Control runs on open-source QGroundControl (QGC) software through a controller connected by a universal serial bus (USB) cable or by Bluetooth.

The IQ Aqua's expandable design takes a camera, ping sonar and grippers as implements. ZenaDrone rates its buoyancy as neutral in freshwater and slightly positive in saltwater.

The IQ Sphere is a spherical omnicopter with 6DOF, which ZenaDrone calls a multipurpose defense omnicopter for inspection, surveillance and reconnaissance. It is designed for spaces where GPS and radio-frequency (RF) signals may be unavailable or restricted. It carries 360-degree imaging on a tilt-free platform and a modular mount for cameras, sensors and manipulators.

Listed IQ Sphere missions include building clearance, ship boarding and inspection of tunnels, mines, collapsed structures, pipeline interiors, ship hulls and caves. Readers setting the IQ Aqua against other underwater designs can use the unmanned underwater vehicles guide and the military underwater drones guide.

How ZenaTech Sells Its Drones

ZenaTech sells its drones through ZenaDrone as Drone as a Service, where the customer books a service and does not buy the airframe. Every ZenaDrone product page ends in a "Book A Service" or "Contact Us" call to action.

No list price is published for any model, with one exception: the Interceptor P-1 target selling price of under $5,000 USD. For every other aircraft, ZenaDrone publishes no price.

Ask ZenaDrone which model and which sensors a quoted service uses before comparing it with another maker's airframe. The IQ Quad alone lists four sensor types: 4K cameras, LiDAR, and multispectral and thermal sensors.

ZenaTech's Nasdaq Listing and SEC Classification

ZenaTech, Inc. is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, with its business address at 777 Hornby Street, Suite 600, Vancouver. It trades on Nasdaq under the ticker ZENA, and its fiscal year ends December 31.

ZenaTech's filings on its U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) EDGAR record are Forms 6-K and 424B5, the forms a foreign private issuer files. A domestic US filer uses the 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K set instead. The latest filings on the record retrieved October 12, 2026 were a 424B5 prospectus supplement dated October 9 and 6-K reports dated October 2, 7 and 8.

The SEC classifies ZenaTech under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 7372, "Services-Prepackaged Software". SIC 7372 is a software-services code, and it is not an aircraft or ordnance manufacturing code. That classification lines up with ZenaDrone product pages that sell a booked service rather than an airframe.

The ZenaTech company profile covers the business model, competitors and revenue concentration.

Which Buyers the ZenaDrone Lineup Suits

The ZenaDrone lineup fits a buyer who wants survey, spraying or warehouse-scanning work done as a booked service. The IQ Quad, IQ Octo and IQ Nano carry no prototype label, and their pages publish sensor, payload or software details a buyer can scope a job against.

The lineup does not fit a buyer who needs a numeric payload, flight time or range for the ZenaDrone 1000 before committing, because ZenaDrone publishes none. It also does not fit a defense buyer who needs a fielded underwater or confined-space system, because the IQ Aqua and IQ Sphere are labelled initial prototypes. Readers can compare the XAG drones lineup or the wider drones section.

Two changes would move this answer. If ZenaDrone published list prices or numeric figures for the ZenaDrone 1000, a buyer could set it directly against other makers' airframes. If the "(Initial Prototype)" labels came off the ZenaDrone 2000, IQ Aqua and IQ Sphere pages, the defense end of the lineup would stand on the same footing as the survey models.

To scope a job with ZenaTech drones, open the product page that matches the work, such as the IQ Octo for spraying or the IQ Quad for surveys, and use its Book A Service button.
