Drone Operations: Bluescape in Raven DOME

A new kind of test and training ground

Military operations and national security missions are only getting more complex. From drones that fly beyond the operator’s line of sight to joint force training exercises across land, sea, and air, teams need a safe place to test, practice, and learn. That’s where Raven DOME comes in.

Raven DOME is a large-scale environment designed for testing and training with unmanned systems, autonomy, and joint operations. It combines real-world infrastructure with digital tools so teams can safely push the limits of new technologies. Bluescape is proud to be part of this effort, helping turn overwhelming amounts of data into clear, usable information for decision-makers.

A partnership built for the mission

Raven Advisory brought together several organizations to make Raven DOME possible, including FedData, OMTAC, GPOD, and Bluescape. Each partner contributes a critical piece of the puzzle. Bluescape’s role is to provide the virtual operations environment — a secure digital workspace where all the moving parts come together on one screen.

What Bluescape adds

At its core, Bluescape helps teams see the full picture and work together in real time. Inside Raven DOME, that means:

• One shared workspace: maps, drone video feeds, telemetry, and mission plans all visible in one place.
• Security that fits the mission: military-grade security and strict access controls so sensitive information stays protected.
• Real-time collaboration: teams can markup maps, adjust plans, or share updates instantly, no matter where they’re located.
• Easy integration: Bluescape connects with other systems and data sources Raven DOME relies on, so information flows in without friction.

Here’s what this looks like in practice:

Drone flights beyond line of sight. Operators and commanders can plan routes, monitor live feeds, and spot potential issues before they happen.

Training exercises. Everyone from commanders to pilots can work from the same visual plan, reducing confusion and speeding up decisions.

Testing new systems. Engineers can compare data from different prototypes side by side, making it easier to evaluate performance.

In all of these cases, the result is the same: a faster, clearer path to making the right call.

Tackling complexity together

Environments like Raven DOME involve countless data streams, people, and technologies. Without the right tools, that can lead to overload and confusion. Bluescape helps by organizing information visually, making it easier to spot patterns, risks, or opportunities. It also supports secure collaboration across distributed teams, so whether someone is in the operations center or halfway around the world, they’re working from the same trusted picture.

Looking ahead

Bluescape’s participation in Raven DOME is only the beginning. As the infrastructure expands and operational needs grow, Bluescape will continue to evolve — deepening integrations, enabling more sophisticated simulations, and extending secure collaboration to a wider set of users and mission partners.

At Bluescape, our mission is simple: simplify the complex. By combining the big picture and the smallest details into one secure, easy-to-use workspace, we help leaders and operators make faster, smarter decisions when it matters most.
