With an impressive 1-hour flight time, the drone can cover long distances and operate for extended periods, facilitating continuous surveillance and gathering critical intelligence. Its automatic recharging capability ensures minimal downtime, allowing for a swift response to emerging situations and prolonged operational efficiency. The combination of these attributes makes the ZenaDrone 1000 an invaluable asset, enhancing situational awareness and the overall effectiveness of military operations.

The U.S. Navy is looking to use the ZenaDrone 1000 for a variety of missions, including surveillance, search and rescue and reconnaissance.

Situational Awareness:

The ZenaDrone 1000 revolutionizes military situational assessment with advanced sensors, real-time data streaming, and autonomous reconnaissance. It offers precise enemy positioning, weather forecasting, and terrain analysis, empowering well-informed tactical decisions, and safer mission strategies. As a force multiplier, it optimizes resource allocation, enhances coordination, and mitigates risks, ultimately amplifying the military's operational effectiveness and success rates.

Its rapid and safe aerial reconnaissance capabilities enable real-time visual evaluations of war-damaged zones. Equipped with high-resolution imaging and remote sensing technologies, the drone captures detailed data, aiding in accurate identification of destruction extent and potential hazards. By eliminating the need for personnel deployment in hazardous areas, the ZenaDrone ensures safety and efficiency while covering vast territories. Its data analytics and comparative analysis capabilities further contribute to informed decision-making, facilitating effective recovery and reconstruction strategies.

Counter Measures:

The ZenaDrone is a versatile and potent drone designed for countermeasures, boasting an impressive payload.

ZenaDrone, Inc. is gearing up to demonstrate the ZenaDrone 1000 under extreme weather conditions in collaboration with the US Navy.

Epazz, Inc. worked to obtain the required certifications and licenses to become a defense contractor and is actively engaged in negotiating pilot programs with the US Air Force, having already received a letter of support.

"We are thrilled to embark on the cold-weather testing of the ZenaDrone 1000. This presents a unique opportunity to exhibit the drone platform's capabilities," remarked Shaun Passley, CEO of Epazz Holdings.

ZenaDrone is sending the first drones manufactured from the company's new manufacturing facility to Ireland. This is the first set of drones from 20 ZenaDrone 1000s that will be in service in Ireland to establish Drone as a Service (DaaS) operations. The company estimates that each deployed drone can generate over $100,000 per year.

9/28/2023

High ranking U.S. Navy personnel have chosen ZenaDrone 1000 to showcase its capabilities in a major presentation.

ZenaDrone 1000 is being prepared for the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Army.

"We are honored to have been chosen by the U.S. Navy to demonstrate our capabilities," said the CEO of ZenaDrone, Inc., Shaun Passley, PhD. "We believe that majority of our revenue will come from sales of ZenaDrone 1000 from the U.S. Government."

The U.S. Navy is looking to use the ZenaDrone 1000 for a variety of missions, including surveillance, search and rescue and reconnaissance. The ZenaDrone team is confident that the drone will be able to meet the Navy's needs and exceed their expectations.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), like the ZenaDrone 1000, are one of the key emerging technologies sought after by the Navy and other branches of the US military.

The ZenaDrone 1000 is a versatile multi-mission UAV, designed for various payloads and includes sensors and HD cameras. It can be operated remotely or autonomously, offering a cost-effective alternative to manned aircraft due to its streamlined design that doesn't require space and equipment for onboard human operators.

Since its recent announcement on November 7th, headlined "ZenaDrone 1000 major experiment demonstration with US Navy under extreme weather conditions," shares may have formed a bottom and have been trading up about 80%. The next level of resistance could be considered its previous high of .0027 and following that, .0055 which would represent an increase of 150%

This groundbreaking experiment marks ZenaDrone's initial venture into assessing their technology in frigid temperatures. The ZenaDrone 1000 has already demonstrated its prowess under scorching conditions exceeding 120 degrees Fahrenheit, a testament to its durability. Now, it's time to put it to the test in sub-zero temperatures as low as negative 20 degrees. Following this cold-weather trial, the drone will be dispatched to an overseas military base, where it will be subjected to real-world scenarios, presenting a significant opportunity for the company to showcase the ZenaDrone 1000's capabilities.
