Palm Beach, FL – March 16, 2023 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – The worldwide Military Drone market has been rapidly expanding for the past several years and is expected to continue to show significant growth in the several years to come. North America has held a significant share in the military drone market, led by countries such as the United States, which have large defense budgets as sizable military budgets support the incorporation of cutting-edge technological advancements. The growing need to strengthen national security by acquiring technologically cutting-edge equipment like military drones for surveillance, monitoring, transportation, and combat operations, is driving the market for military drones in North America. Additionally, the market will likely expand further due to favorable rules by governments in the region and the increase in production of military drones internationally and domestically. Other regions are also growing. A report from Expert Market Research said that: “Asia Pacific is projected to experience significant expansion and a fast CAGR in the military drone market over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increased spending by several countries on their militaries to strengthen their defensive capacities. The demand for military drones is expected to increase as border conflicts become more prevalent and countries invest in real-time surveillance drones in order to enhance border patrolling and situational awareness.” Active companies in the markets this week include: AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV), Epazz, Inc. (OTCPK: EPAZ), Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AJRD), Drone Delivery Canada Corp. (OTCQX: TAKOF) (TSXV: FLT), Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCAT).
The report added: “Market Share by Product. The fixed wing segment is anticipated to have a significant market share over the forecast period (2-23 – 2028) due to their superior support for payloads, increased endurance ranges, and versatile applications. Like an aeroplane, fixed-wing drones take off from the ground by using their wings, due to which fixed-wing UAVs can travel farther than rotor-wing drones. A key advantage of fixed-wing aircrafts is their ability to cover large distances on a single battery, which makes them ideal for monitoring and surveillance activities, thus increasing their military drone market share. In the event of complete failure, military drones with fixed wings can still fly and land safely. Due to their superior aerodynamics, fixed-wing formats are used for the most advanced and powerful unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Market Share by Range. During the forecast period, the visual line of sight (VLOS) segment is anticipated to develop at a fast rate due to the rise in the use of VLOS military drones by various governments in applications including traffic monitoring, firefighting, and disaster management. Authorities are putting in place various VLOS regulations, to manage drones used for commercial, leisure, or military purposes.”
Epazz, Inc. (OTCPK: EPAZ) BREAKING NEWS: Epazz Holdings: ZenaDrone AI Predictive Partnered with US Defense Contractor to Submit for SBIR Phase II for ZenaDrone 100 – Epazz Inc., a mission-critical provider of drone technology, blockchain mobile apps and cloud-based business software solutions, announced recently ZenaDrone signed up a U.S. defense contractor to partner with on submitting a SBIR Phase II proposal. This partnership helps ZenaDrone fast track the Phase II submission process, which includes a U.S. government customer who will be using our drone and partner technology.
The San Antonio Air Force Trade Show, which was held between Jan. 26 and Jan. 27, 2023, has led to some meaningful partnership opportunities with U.S. defense contractors that have already established military contracts. We are working to add more partners who have already established contracts with the U.S. military to submit more proposals for Phase II in April.
ZenaDrone has agreed to install its partner’s technology into its drones to test its technology. ZenaDrone will be part of the contract and, if awarded, will share proceeds of up to $1.2 million of the contract price.
Working with partners means ZenaDrone has accelerated the process, allowing it to submit for Phase II earlier than would otherwise be possible.
CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D., said, “ We met a lot of good companies during the January conference; they have been grateful to help us through the SBIR process. We look forward to working with them on Phase II.”
Epazz also announced recently it has received the official utility patent on its AI predictive Drone Smart Charging Pad .
Our Smart Charging Pad is a major game changer. Many of our competitors are pricing their charging pads for drones weighing less than 55 pounds at $4,000 to $15,000 per unit. Our Smart Charging Pad — which can be used to charge our ZenaDrone 1000, weighing over 250 pounds — will be priced at less than $15,000. ZenaDrone 1000 is a serious aircraft created for use by the military as well as in the oil and gas and agriculture industries. We designed it to be a workhorse and to push the limits of future technology available today. Our affordable technology has allowed us to gain market interest quickly.
