VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 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 A computing prototype consisting of a framework for rapid analysis and processing of large datasets of AI drone solutions. Using weather forecasting algorithms as a test case as part of the ClearSky project, the company has created a precedent framework for real-time analysis of a vast amount of data that can be captured through AI drone sensors in the air.
We envision commercial applications ranging from highly efficient precision agriculture to predictive energy infrastructure testing. Defense applications include enhancing real-time battlefield decisions with faster, more accurate threat detection, reconnaissance, and advance electronic warfare capabilities.
“We not only build smarter drones, but also quantum intelligence edges where data is instantly determined, whether it's on the battlefield or the farm field,” said Dr. Shaun Passley, CEO of Zenatech. “The quantum framework we are creating demonstrates that it can be used for large datasets, so we plan to continue to expand our R&D capabilities with the aim of growing the next 6-25 teams. The ultimate goal is clear.
Zenatech's Clear Sky Project is one of the company's quantum computing R&D initiatives focused on weather forecasts that use AI drones and drone fleets and quantum to better predict local forecasts to more accurately predict extreme weather events. The weather applications and algorithms used in the prototype track and analyze multiple key atmospheric parameters, such as temperature, humidity, wind, air pressure, and precipitation. Internal testing using historical open source data demonstrates high accuracy on reliable weather platforms and real data, verifying both its accuracy and reliability.
Quantum computing, coupled with AI-powered drone applications, dramatically accelerate data analytics, optimize complex decisions, and increase real-time responsiveness, allowing for disruptive speed, accuracy, and autonomy. In the commercial sector, this means that drones can autonomously inspect vast energy grids and farmlands, analyze multispectral data instantly, and adjust their actions on the spot. In defense, the same functionality allows autonomous surveillance drones to process sensor data, identify threats in real time, coordinate the movement of flocks and drone fleets, and dynamically adapt to changes in battlefield conditions. This fusion of technology allows drones to make faster and smarter decisions in unpredictable, data-intensive environments.
For weather forecasting, quantum computing can rapidly process and simulate complex atmospheric models by analyzing large datasets from AI-enabled drones with weather sensors, LIDARs, and imaging systems. This allows for highly accurate, real-time weather and microclimate forecasts, improving response times for disaster management, aviation safety and environmental surveillance.
Quantum Computing is a next-generation computing technology that uses the principles of quantum physics to process information exponentially than traditional computers, allowing it to solve extremely complex problems that even today's most powerful classic computers can't solve.
