Command a Drone Ecosystem
The Master Affiliate is Aquiline Drones’ highest-tier opportunity, empowering operators to lead regional drone manufacturing and service operations through an integrated, scalable, and technology-driven affiliate ecosystem.
Your Command Center for America’s Drone Manufacturing and Field Operations
The Master Affiliate Program is Aquiline Drones’ premier business model, providing qualified operators with the capabilities to manufacture, maintain, repair, and deploy advanced U.S.-made drones at scale.
Unlike standard affiliate operations, Master Affiliates oversee all Manufacturing, Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MMRO) subtypes while coordinating and supporting the broader network of field-service affiliates.
As a Master Affiliate, you do more than operate a drone business—you help lead a regional network that drives production, maintenance, mission delivery, and innovation. This model is designed for veteran-led organizations and strategic enterprises seeking to play a leading role in America’s distributed drone manufacturing and operations ecosystem.

The Master Affiliate
The Aquiline Drones Master Affiliate is the highest tier within our national distributed manufacturing and operational ecosystem.
Unlike single-unit affiliates, the Master Affiliate enables selected operators to establish, manage, and scale all MMRO affiliate subtypes, including:
• MMRO | Supply Chain
• MMRO | Fabrication
• MMRO | Advanced Assembly
• MMRO | Basic Assembly
• MMRO | Dealership
In addition, Master Affiliate holders are authorized to operate and deploy Aquiline Drones’ specialized affiliate 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 Affiliate functions as a regional command hub, driving high-volume production, maintenance, remote operations, and mission deployment.
Affiliates receive priority training, enhanced contractual privileges, and the ability to oversee regional supply chains, field-service readiness, and technology implementation.
