Become a Drone Affiliate
AD’s unique Drone Affiliate program provides a scale-as-you-go model for providing expert-level drone services across a range of industries.
Redefining a business model for the drone entrepreneur
For many aspiring entrepreneurs—both in the U.S. and globally—entering the business world can be challenging due to steep startup costs, complex business structures, and significant financial risks. Traditional business ownership models often require investments ranging from tens of thousands to well over a million dollars, while offering limited flexibility and autonomy.
In a bold move to break down these barriers, AD introduces the AD Drone Affiliate (ADDA): a powerful, low-barrier opportunity that reimagines entrepreneurship. With the ADDA, AD is making it easier than ever for individuals to build a business in the booming drone economy through a model designed to be more affordable, flexible, and accessible—empowering affiliates to pursue entrepreneurial success without the traditional barriers to entry.

Low cost. No limits. Full control.
AD Drone Affiliates (ADDAs) offer a flexible, accessible path to entrepreneurship or career change—blending remote work, adventure, and the independence of self-employment. With no licensing fees, royalties, or territorial limits, the AD Drone Affiliate program lowers the barriers to entry, making it easier for individuals to build a drone service business without the substantial upfront costs and restrictive requirements often associated with traditional business models.
Affiliates maintain control over their branding and day-to-day operations, allowing them to shape their businesses around their own goals, interests, and vision. Even better, no prior experience with drones or business ownership is required.
The program is designed to equip motivated individuals with the skills, tools, and support needed to become professional drone service providers (DSPs), prepared to offer commercial drone services to the public. With a structured training and development pathway, participants can be ready to launch their businesses within 6 to 10 months.
Inspired by the accessibility of on-demand platforms like Uber, the AD Drone Affiliate program aims to expand entrepreneurial opportunities and empower more individuals to participate in the fast-growing drone economy—with greater flexibility, independence, and potential for success.

TEC empowers affiliates to deliver fast, safe, and cost-effective drone services for exterior maintenance. From power washing and painting to graffiti removal, TEC drones can service windows, rooftops, solar panels, and large structures such as wind turbines, water towers, and stadiums.
By reducing the need for lifts, scaffolding, and risky manual labor, drone technology makes hard-to-reach areas safer and easier to maintain. With the flexibility of an affiliate-led business model and the support of Aquiline Drones, TEC offers a scalable, hands-on business opportunity that is transforming the exterior care industry.
ISS | Inspections, Security & Surveillance
ISS equips affiliates with advanced drone technology to support industrial, commercial, and public safety missions. From inspecting power lines, bridges, pipelines, construction sites, and rooftops to assessing critical infrastructure, ISS drones deliver speed, safety, and precision while reducing the risks associated with manual inspections and heavy equipment.
The technology also supports specialized subsurface assessment and high-security operations, including the detection and evaluation of tunnels, bunkers, underground utilities, landfills, and potential hazards. Whether conducting infrastructure inspections, security patrols, or search-and-rescue operations, ISS enables affiliates to deliver smarter, safer, and more efficient solutions for asset protection and critical infrastructure assessment.
LIEU | LineDrone for Energy & Utilities
The LineDrone affiliate opportunity is purpose-built for the energy and utilities sector, equipping affiliates with the tools and technology to perform critical inspections of power lines, high-voltage infrastructure, and transmission assets safely and efficiently. Using advanced sensors and AI-powered analytics, LineDrone can help identify corrosion, degraded splices, and structural issues while reducing the need for costly shutdowns and hazardous manual inspections.
These capabilities help improve grid reliability, extend infrastructure lifespan, and support more proactive asset management. Through the LineDrone affiliate program, entrepreneurs can position themselves as valuable service providers to utility companies seeking smarter, faster, and safer inspection solutions in the evolving energy and utilities industry.
ADDAs: Flexible contracts, complete drone ecosystem
Operating beyond traditional business models, AD Drone Affiliates (ADDAs) support both on-demand services and long-term contracts, enabling public- and private-sector clients to access advanced drone capabilities without the financial and logistical burdens of owning and managing the necessary infrastructure themselves.
A key advantage of the AD Drone Affiliate model is its integration with Aquiline Drones’ comprehensive service ecosystem, which includes advanced equipment and technology, training, insurance, maintenance, and mission planning. This integrated approach provides affiliates with the resources and support needed to deliver reliable, scalable, turnkey drone solutions while helping clients meet their operational needs more efficiently.
Build your ADDA around a Mobile Command Center
AD offers a mobile command center customized to support affiliate operations, including drone spraying, industrial inspections, and drone repair. Designed to serve as both a transport vehicle for drone equipment and a mobile workspace for field operations, the command center provides affiliates with a flexible, on-site solution for managing and delivering drone services. It can be a valuable asset for affiliates seeking to enhance operational efficiency, mobility, and service capabilities.
