ZenaTech's recent acquisition of a warehouse management company will enhance its DaaS capabilities for U.S. defense clients. Leonardo DRS reported strong financial results, while Red Cat's Teal Drones achieved AS9100 certification. Ondas Holdings plans to acquire Apeiro Motion to bolster its autonomous systems, and AIRO Group is developing a new cargo drone and expanding operations in Quebec. ***Distributed on behalf of ZenaTech.*** Drone stocks such as **ZenaTech** (NASDAQ: ZENA), **Leonardo DRS Inc.** (NASDAQ: DRS), **Ondas Holdings** (NASDAQ: ONDS), **Red Cat Holdings** (NASDAQ: RCAT), and **AIRO Group** Holdings (NASDAQ: AIRO) could easily see higher highs. Not only are drones quickly becoming an essential tool for the U.S. government, but also for multi-billion-dollar businesses involved in defense, construction, logistics, agriculture, oil and gas, public security, deliveries, engineering, and telecom. All of which is helping to create a $355.55 billion drone-as-a-service (DaaS) market and related stocks, such as ZenaTech. In fact, the company’s DaaS model is designed to provide flexible, on-demand or convenient subscription-based access for business or government clients, to advanced drone services for surveying, inspections, power washing, maintenance, and more, eliminating the need to invest in drone hardware and software, pilots, maintenance, or regulatory compliance. **Fueling upside, ZenaTech Just Signed an Offer to Acquire a Warehouse and Inventory Management Company with Established Long-Term US Defense Government Contracts, Accelerating DaaS Expansion on the East Coast** ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) just signed an offer to acquire a Southeast US-based warehouse and inventory management services company serving a principal service branch of the US Department of Defense. The proposed acquisition brings deep expertise in organizing, maintaining, and optimizing physical inventories, ensuring that mission-critical assets and materials are accounted for and ready when needed. When completed, combined with other recent acquisitions in the Southeast region including Cardinal Civil Resources, ZenaTech’s East Coast DaaS footprint and capacity to serve government and defense agencies will be strengthened. As noted by Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO: “This proposed acquisition represents another important step toward providing access to established US defense agency relationships, enabling increased capacity to deliver Drone as a Service or DaaS at scale to East Coast-based government and defense agency customers. This will also provide opportunities for our IQ Nano indoor inventory management drone, which we believe will help us move up the value chain as a full-spectrum partner in inventory management and logistics automation, driving expanded readiness, accuracy and operational capability to our armed forces." ZenaTech has now completed eight acquisitions toward its goal of establishing 25 Drone as a Service locations by mid-year, 2026. **Other related developments from around the markets include:** **Leonardo DRS** Chairman and CEO Bill Lynn just said, “Leonardo DRS delivered another set of strong financial results marked by healthy bookings, solid organic revenue growth and continued profit and margin expansion in the second quarter. The need to deter and contest heightened global threats continues to bolster customer demand for our innovative, high-performance technologies. Amidst a more dynamic macro backdrop, we remain focused on disciplined execution and delivering differentiated capabilities to customers.” **Red Cat Holdings**, a drone technology company integrating robotic hardware and software for military, government, and commercial operations, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Teal Drones, has achieved AS9100 certification from NSF International Strategic Registrations (NSF-ISR), a leading global certification body for aerospace and defense quality systems. The AS9100 standard, developed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) and based on ISO 9001, is the globally recognized benchmark for quality management in the aviation, space, and defense sectors. It includes aerospace-specific requirements that strengthen quality control, safety, and traceability. The certification confirms that Teal Drones meets these demanding standards across the full product lifecycle, covering design, manufacturing, and maintenance, ensuring consistent quality, reliability, and performance for customers and partners worldwide. **Ondas Holdings**, a leading provider of private industrial wireless networks and commercial drone and automated data solutions, announced a definitive agreement to acquire Apeiro Motion, an Israeli developer of advanced ground robotics, fiber optic communications systems and mission-critical automation technologies which will be operated under the Company's Ondas Autonomous Systems business unit. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025. "Apeiro will bring to Ondas a rare combination of world-class engineering talent, field-proven platform development capabilities, and trusted relationships with premier defense customers," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas. "Their team has shown an exceptional ability to deliver mature, mission-ready autonomous systems that are both innovative and operationally valuable. We believe this acquisition will align perfectly with our strategy to lead the autonomous defense and security sector by bringing operating scale, commercial reach, and platform integration to the next generation of dual-use robotic technologies." **AIRO Group Holdings**, a global leader in advanced aerospace and defense technologies, today announced at EAA AirVenture 2025 in Oshkosh, WI, the development of its new middle-mile, medium-lift cargo drone and the expansion of its operations into the YMX Innovation Zone in Mirabel, Quebec. The initiative is led by its Electric Air Mobility segment, Jaunt Air Mobility, and its Canadian subsidiary, Jaunt Air Mobility Canada. Jaunt’s presence in this hub for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) innovation strengthens its collaboration with Vertiko Mobilité, a Canadian leader in AAM operations and ground infrastructure development, and benefits from the support of Aéroports de Montréal (ADM). The new cargo drone is designed to carry 250–500 lbs. over distances of 200+ miles, aiming to provide an efficient, low-emission alternative to traditional middle-mile freight solutions such as box trucks and tractor-trailers.
