American Drone Network Pilot Platform

American Drone Network (ADN) is an agricultural aviation platform based in Dallas, Texas that connects farmers, drone pilots and industry partners. The founding year is not stated on the pages reviewed. It aims to reduce inefficiencies and support data-driven decisions for spray drone operators.

Members get access to the Elite Fleet of agriculture-optimized drones, the CropFlight FAA-compliant logbook, a 72-hour repair and replacement program, recovery kits, a service hotline, on-demand training, financing and insurance. The ADN app includes CropSwipe, a marketplace where farmers find certified pilots. In April 2026 ADN partnered with BRANDT on drone-specific adjuvant and nutrition products.

Access to drone-specific crop inputs through the BRANDT partnership.

Drone spraying has grown quickly as a service model in which independent pilots serve farms, which creates demand for platforms that handle job matching, compliance records, repair and inputs. Vietnam shows a similar pattern, with drone service teams forming around cooperatives in the Mekong Delta and a fleet above 6,000 drones by the end of 2024 according to industry reports.

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, USA. Acquired CropFlight in early 2026 and announced a BRANDT partnership on April 3, 2026. Partners listed include Agremo, Brandt, Revolution Drones and Talos Drones.
