ZenaDrone IQ Aqua

An underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) designed for military and commercial purposes. (Initial Prototype)

Multifunctional Bathymetric Drone

Marking ZenaDrone’s entry into underwater robotics, the IQ Aqua is engineered for deep inspection, research, and payload operations down to 300 meters. The IQ Aqua’s military applications include mine detection, countermeasure support, port and harbor threat detection, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). Its commercial applications include inspection of subsea pipelines and cables, as well as energy infrastructure such as offshore drilling platforms.
