The Commercial Drone Alliance (CDA), an independent non-profit organisation led by key members of the commercial drone industry, has announced its newly appointed officers for 2025. The CDA tackles policy challenges, promotes the economic and humanitarian benefits of commercial drones, and advocates for their safe and scalable deployment.
The CDA’s 2025 officers are:
“Commercial drones are already delivering significant benefits, but it’s time to expand operations,” shared Eric Brock, CEO of Ondas, who will be focusing on industry development as co-chair of the CDA. “By advancing the integration of drones into the National Airspace and enabling scalable operations, we have the opportunity to create new economic opportunities, lower operational costs for businesses, and enhance the quality of life for communities across the United States.”
“Our industry remains at a critical crossroads,” added Ben Berlin, aviation regulatory counsel at Zipline, who will be focusing on policy in his role as co-chair. “While we’ve seen advancements in drone technology and its integration into various sectors, the full potential of commercial drone operations cannot be realized without addressing regulatory gaps. Implementing Beyond Visual Line of Sight operations and other essential provisions is vital to enabling safe and scalable commercial drone use.”
CDA’s Officers serve on the Board together with CDA’s other Directors: Dean Allen Barefield (Southern Company), Jeff Cole (Hidden Level), Grant Jordan (SkySafe), Matt McCardle (Amazon Prime Air), Heath McLemore (Florida Power & Light), and David Shilliday (Honeywell).
