ZenaTech Inc. (NASDAQ:ZENA) saw its stock climb 3.9% following the announcement of a successful development of a quantum computing prototype designed to boost its AI drone technology.
The company introduced a new system that enables rapid processing and analysis of extensive datasets collected by AI drone sensors in real-time. The prototype was trialed with weather forecasting algorithms as part of ZenaTech’s Clear Sky initiative, setting a new standard for managing vast data generated during drone operations.
ZenaTech foresees applications in both commercial and defense sectors. Commercially, the technology could revolutionize precision farming and predictive inspections of energy infrastructure, while defense use cases include improved battlefield intelligence through quicker threat detection and reconnaissance.
“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., CEO of ZenaTech.
The company plans to significantly expand its R&D team, aiming to grow from 6 to 25 staff members in the near future. The Clear Sky project focuses on leveraging AI drones combined with quantum computing to enhance localized weather forecasting accuracy.
Internal testing with historical open-source data demonstrated strong alignment with established weather platforms, affirming the system’s precision and reliability.
By integrating quantum computing with AI-driven drones, ZenaTech aims to accelerate data analysis, improve complex decision-making, and boost real-time responsiveness in sectors including agriculture, logistics, infrastructure, and defense.
