Five of the Top Drone Stocks Likely to Fly Heading into 2026 October 28, 2025 - Baystreet.ca Distributed on behalf of ZenaTech. Drone stocks, such as ZenaTech (NASDAQ: ZENA), AIRO Group Holdings (NASDAQ: AIRO), Red Cat Holdings (NASDAQ: RCAT), Ondas Holdings (NASDAQ: ONDS), and Leonardo DRS Inc. (NASDAQ: DRS) nare still flying high thanks to the Trump Administration. For one, President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” unlocks federal funding for domestic production, makes US skies safer by eliminating Chinese-made drones and components, cuts outdated certification and procurement barriers, and fast-tracks deployment directly to frontline units. It also provides $33 billion in direct spending for advanced drones, autonomous systems, and broader US defense modernization. Two, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s latest 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. All of which has been beneficial for drone stocks, such as ZenaTech (NASDAQ: ZENA), Whose Subsidiary, ZenaDrone will Exhibit at Defense & Security 2025 in Bangkok and the Secure Australia Conference 2025 in Canberra Expanding Asia-Pacific Defense Industry Relationships. ZenaTech just announced that teams from its ZenaDrone and Taiwan-based Spider Vision Sensors manufacturing subsidiaries will be exhibiting and engaged in relationship building at two major Asia-Pacific defense conference events in November. The events include Defense and Security 2025, taking place in Bangkok, Thailand, and the Secure Australia Conference 2025, taking place in Canberra. These events attract regional and international military and security decision makers and will enable the company to highlight its advanced AI drone solutions to allied defense decision makers across the Asia-Pacific region. Conference Details: Defense & Security 2025 ─ ASEAN's (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) leading Asian defense and security conference, exhibition, and networking event. Held biennially for more than 20 years, it attracts over 25,000 participants from over 40 countries including the regions' highest-ranking officials from the Army, Navy, and Air Forces as well as Ministries of Defense, Chiefs of Police, Coast Guard, and other government bodies. ZenaDrone will be exhibiting and showcasing its solutions in the US Partnership Pavilion. Date and Venue: November 10–13, 2025 | Impact Exhibition Center, Bangkok, Thailand Secure Australia Conference 2025 ─ One of Australia’s premier defense and security industry events, bringing together defense officials, cybersecurity experts, and security innovators to explore advancements in AI, robotics, and autonomous systems. ZenaDrone will showcase its advanced drone solutions and engage with allied defense organizations and decision makers. Date and Venue: November 11–12, 2025 | Ann Harding Conference Centre, University of Canberra, Canberra, Australia In addition, ZenaTech’s portfolio of defense-oriented drones, currently at various stages of development and Green/Blue UAS cybersecurity certification readiness, includes: · ZenaDrone 1000 – A medium-sized VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) rugged construction drone capable of lifting ~40 kg, with AI-enabled autonomy and secure communications via the proprietary DroneNet system. Designed for ISR (inspection, surveillance, and reconnaissance), critical cargo delivery, and border patrol via an extended flying-time gas version currently under development. The drone has undergone paid trials with the US Air Force and Navy Reserve for critical cargo delivery, such as medical supplies. · IQ Square – A VTOL drone (starting size 40” × 40”) engineered for line-of-sight land surveys, infrastructure inspections, road and bridge evaluations, and defense reconnaissance tasks. · IQ Nano – A compact indoor drone (starting size 20” × 20”) built to operate in GPS-denied environments, such as warehouses or military facilities, for inventory management, barcode scanning, and security applications. Features include obstacle avoidance and AI-driven drone swarm or fleet capabilities. Other related developments from around the markets include: AIRO Group Holdings, a global leader in advanced aerospace and defense technologies 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). Red Cat Holdings, a U.S.-based provider of advanced, all-domain robotic solutions for defense and national security, today announced a strategic collaboration with Safe Pro Group Inc., a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-computer vision technologies. Through this collaboration, Safe Pro’s patented AI-powered image analysis technology will be embedded into Red Cat’s Black Widow drones, enabling U.S. and allied ground personnel to rapidly identify and locate more than 150 types of explosive threats including landmines, anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions, and unexploded ordnance (UXO) in real-time. The integration will allow Safe Pro’s Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) system to process real-time 4k video onboard the Black Widow at the tactical edge and deliver live threat data directly to military situational awareness platforms such as the U.S. Army’s Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) software ecosystem, enhancing and accelerating decision making critical to mission success. 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." 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.
