Command a Drone Ecosystem

The Master Franchise is Aquiline Drones’ highest-tier opportunity, empowering operators to lead regional drone manufacturing and service operations through an integrated, scalable, and technology-driven franchise ecosystem.

Your Command Center for America’s Drone Manufacturing and Field Operations

The Master Franchise is Aquiline Drones’ premier business model, giving select operators full capability to build, maintain, and deploy advanced U.S.-made drones at scale.

Unlike standard units, the Master Franchise controls all Manufacturing, Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MMRO) subtypes—while also managing all field-service franchises.

As a Master Franchisee, you don’t just operate a drone business—you command a regional network that powers production, maintenance, mission delivery, and innovation. This model is ideal for veteran-led organizations and strategic enterprises ready to lead America’s distributed drone manufacturing system.

The Master Franchise

The Aquiline Drones Master Franchise is the highest tier within our national distributed manufacturing and operational ecosystem.

Unlike single-unit franchises, the Master Franchise enables selected operators to establish, manage, and scale all MMRO franchise subtypes, including:

In addition, Master Franchise holders are authorized to operate and deploy Aquiline Drones’ specialized franchise models in complementary mission areas:

• TEC – Total Exterior Care
• ISS – Inspections, Security & Surveillance
• LIEU – LineDrone for Energy & Utilities

Designed for strategic enterprises and veteran-led teams with the capacity to manage multi-unit operations, the Master Franchise functions as a regional command hub, driving high-volume production, maintenance, remote operations, and mission deployment.

Franchisees receive priority training, enhanced contractual privileges, and the ability to oversee regional supply chains, field-service readiness, and technology implementation.
