This approval enables live testing and evaluation of the ZenaDrone 1000 product with US-based partners and potential customers, and live demonstration of the product’s capabilities may commence at US drone tradeshow and exhibit events.
“This is an important milestone and central to our work with US-based customers and partners as we refine our drone solutions, distribution, and manufacturing plans in the US,” said CEO Dr. Shaun Passley, Ph.D. “It is also a step towards building our flight hours, air-worthiness accreditation, and our overall solution credibility as we continue to perfect new ways to incorporate drones into mission-critical business operations in verticals such as agriculture, defense, and logistics.
