MAXTON, N.C., Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Raven Advisory LLC successfully completed its First Flight Event at the Raven DOME (Digital Operations Mobility Environment) last week, a two-day event that welcomed leaders from the community, industry, and military. The demonstration showcased the future of unmanned systems, robotics integration, and scenario-driven training at one of the nation's most advanced operational readiness facilities.

Long-distance Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations across Raven's 1,100-square-mile COA

Package delivery methods including landing, winching, and parachute systems

Live demonstrations of Group 1–5 UAS capabilities

A multi-domain military scenario, integrating drones and ground robotics into a realistic operation

Attendees described the Raven DOME as a "blank canvas with everything needed at your fingertips" a unique environment where innovation meets execution. Every moment of the First Flight event, from pre-flight checks to mission completion, was designed to highlight the realism, readiness, and results that Raven Advisory provides.

"This is just the beginning," said Ford. "The Raven DOME is built to support the next generation of operational readiness; where commercial, military, and allied partners can come together to test, train, and prepare for what's next."
