U.S. Drone Dominance is Creating an Incredible $355.55 Billion Market Opportunity

Substantial catalysts are sending drone stocks, such as ZenaTech (NASDAQ: ZENA), Red Cat Holdings (NASDAQ: RCAT), Ondas Holdings (NASDAQ: ONDS), Leonardo DRS Inc. (NASDAQ: DRS), and L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) sky high.

For one, President Trump recently unveiled an $892.6 billion defense and national security budget proposal for 2026. Two, President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” unlocks federal funding for domestic production. Three, the White House’s AI Action Plan and the three Executive Orders issued in July 2025 prioritize domestic AI innovation, infrastructure development, and deployment of ideologically neutral AI technologies.

Four, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s policy directive, Unleashing U.S. Military Drone Dominance, just made it easier for American drone companies—especially those building Group 1 and 2 affordable drone systems—to sell directly to the military, scale production, and innovate without delays from traditional defense procurement bottlenecks including Blue UAS certification timelines.

In addition, companies, like ZenaTech, are seeing substantial demand for its Drone as a Service (DaaS), a potential $355.55 billion market, as noted by Research and Markets.

All are again driving drone stocks to higher highs.

Look at ZenaTech (NASDAQ: ZENA), which was just invited to present at two exclusive investor events in Palm Beach, including at The Mar-a-Lago Club

ZenaTech just announced that it has been invited to present to two VIP groups of investors in Palm Beach, Fla. next week (November 10-14, 2025) including an investor roundtable at The Mara-a-Lago Club. Each of these events will convene groups of high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors for in-depth discussions with company executives on ZenaTech’s story, growth opportunities, drone technology and services, and the evolving industry and regulatory landscape.

On the evening of Thursday, November 13th, ZenaTech executives will present to a group of VIP investors at The Mar-a-Lago Club, the world famous and prestigious Palm Beach private club known for its rich history and association with President Donald J. Trump, and its exclusive membership.

On the evening of Wednesday, November 12th, ZenaTech executives will present to a large group of 50 to 60 elite investors at a venue located on Worth Avenue, Palm Beach’s renown upscale shopping and gathering destination.

These private investor events take place while ZenaTech also participates at The PIPEs Conference, a DealFlow investor event, in nearby Fort Lauderdale. During the conference, the ZenaTech team will participate in one-on-one briefings with a variety of institutional investors and family offices.
