ZenaTech, Inc. announced that its subsidiary, ZenaDrone, is launching a drone-based early wildfire detection system. The company plans to conduct onsite testing and evaluation with a prospective California business customer, aiming to protect a 400-acre rural outdoor tourist attraction from wildfires.
The new system utilizes the ZenaDrone 1000 multifunction autonomous AI drone, equipped with thermal imaging and LiDAR technology. This drone is engineered to detect early-stage heat signatures and smoke, particularly at night, enabling emergency teams to act before a small spark escalates into a devastating blaze.
CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D., stated that as wildfire risks increase globally, demand from government, insurers, and private sectors is rising, especially in the dry US West and Southwest. The global wildfire protection market is projected to grow from $9.68 billion in 2024 to $22.47 billion by 2032, exhibiting a 12.6% CAGR. If testing proves effective, the system will be fully deployed by the customer in Q4 under a Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) subscription model.
