The message is clear: the future of drones is American, and we are ready.” Dr. Passley added.Green UAS certification is a compliance and cybersecurity framework developed by AUVSI, the leading trade association for the uncrewed systems industry, in collaboration with the US DoD. It ensures that drones are free of components from foreign adversaries and meet rigorous standards for cybersecurity, data protection, and supply chain integrity. Green UAS certification will be streamlined for faster approvals under recent <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/06/unleashing-american-drone-dominance/">Executive Orders</a>—paving the way for better alignment with Blue UAS certification benefiting drone makers getting products to market.Drones like the IQ Square offer critical advantages in military and government applications: real-time surveillance, infrastructure monitoring, and remote mission planning in hazardous environments. Advanced imaging tools such as LiDAR and thermal sensors enable early detection of structural vulnerabilities and security threats, while rapid mapping and ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) functions support logistics and operational command.The<a href="https://www.zenadrone.com/zenadrone-iq-square/"> ZenaDrone IQ Square</a> is an advanced AI-powered drone designed for land surveys and various types of inspections and reconnaissance missions in defense applications. The drone has a 40 x 40” and 50”x50” VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) frame with autonomous charging capabilities and delivers 20-25 minutes of flight time. It is equipped to use AI-driven cameras and sensors for mission-ready performance across defense and tactical applications.
