The drone industry has witnessed a significant growth trajectory in recent years, and the trend is expected to continue in the coming years. The adoption of drone technology has been on the rise in various industries such as agriculture, real estate, delivery services, and surveillance.
In recent years, the use of military drones has grown significantly, and these unmanned aircraft systems are now an essential part of many military operations worldwide. As a result, the market for manufacturing military drones has experienced rapid expansion, and investors are becoming increasingly interested in chances to invest in businesses that make these cutting-edge technologies.
The drone industry is predicted to expand quickly, with a CAGR of 38.6% from 2023 to 2030, creating the possibility of a very profitable investment opportunity. There are many different companies to choose from when investing in drone stocks; in this article, we'll focus on a few of the major players in this quickly developing market.
Epazz, Inc. (OTC: EPAZ) is a mission-critical provider of drone technology, blockchain mobile apps, and cloud-based business software solutions.
On March 1, Epazz announced that the US Air Force had invited ZenaDrone, a spinoff of Epazz, to showcase the ZenaDrone 1000 at an air base in California on March 16 and 17.
This will be ZenaDrone’s first visit to a military base to interact with personnel and gain insight into their drone technology’s potential use in the Air Force.
The invitation follows another recent EPAZ announcement that Zenadrone had submitted Phase I SBIR proposals to the US Government. ZenaDrone will hear back from the government in 90 days.
The SBIR program is designed to get products into the government market. Additionally, if ZenaDrone is a part of the program, there will be opportunities to sell our drones to US allies.
The SBIR program has multiple phases:
Phase I contracts have a value of up to $75,000, per proposal
Phase II contracts have a value of up to 1.2 million, per proposal
There are additional phases after II, that open up major government contracts worth up to $15 million over the next three years.
EPAZ has an opportunity to make significant revenue from the SBIR contracts over the course of the next few years.
Epazz CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D., said, “We are taking multiple pathways to become a government contractor of drones. It is a major opportunity for us, as Chinese drones are banned in the US government. It has opened up major demands for our drones.”
The US government has a major need for non-Chinese drones. The government is pushing initiatives to obtain made-in-America drones through its BlueUAS program. ZenaDrone is currently in the process of applying for BlueUAS. According to the company, the current list of American-made drones is very short.
ZenaDrone Inc. is a provider of a multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with machine learning systems, multispectral sensors, and AI technology. A 3D interactive environment is made by ZenaDrone using the data its cameras collect.
The ZenaDrone team will employ predictive AI analytics, a type of analysis that makes predictions of future events based on collected data by using techniques and resources to build predictive models.
Data mining, statistical modeling, machine learning algorithms, and complex mathematics are some of the methods used in predictive analytics.
EPAZ finished Wednesday up 18.18%. With more news on the way, put EPAZ on your watchlist.
