About Us

The Commercial Drone Alliance is an independent 501c6 non-profit organization led by key members of the commercial drone industry. Our membership is comprised of the leading innovators and change-makers in the community.

The CDA works with the federal government and industry to promote U.S. global leadership in advanced aviation. We bring industry together with the government to solve policy challenges and enable the deployment of commercial drones at scale across the United States. We educate on the economic benefits and humanitarian gains made possible by commercial drones, as well as advocate for their safe and responsible use. We focus on expanding the commercial drone marketplace, including by solving drone security issues.
