California, home to nearly 90% of US vineyard acreage, is a high-growth market for drone-enabled precision agriculture. ZenaTech’s DaaS platform enables vineyard and farming customers to deploy autonomous AI drones for aerial imaging, precision spraying, irrigation analytics, and wildfire monitoring, without the need to purchase hardware, hire pilots, or manage regulatory approvals.

This will be the ninth US acquisition toward ZenaTech’s goal of acquiring and establishing 25 Drone-as-a-Service locations by mid-next year. The company’s DaaS model provides flexible, on-demand subscription or pay-per-use access to drone services for surveying, inspections, automation, and more, eliminating the need to invest in drone hardware and software, pilots, maintenance, or regulatory compliance. The company is acquiring land surveying and other businesses ripe for drone innovation, to advance its national vision for a scalable, tech-enabled multiservice drone business anchored by existing customers and recurring revenue.
