WHAT DOES “BOGEY DOPE” MEAN?

“BOGEY DOPE” is a multi-service brevity word, typically used by military aircraft querying a Command & Control (C2) asset such as the E-3 Sentry (AWACS) for information on an unidentified contact.

When a pilot asks for a “BOGEY DOPE” on a contact, they expect to hear back a Bearing, Range, Altitude, and Aspect (BRAA) from them to that contact.

At BOGEY DOPE Aviation Services, we provide the customer the same degree of insight: combining years of tactical-level execution, strategic and operational planning, and a no-nonsense approach to ensuring mission completion.

We can look at a problem-set and help identify the asymmetric advantages and weakness of a plan, recommend alternative courses of action, and assemble a robust network of experts that provide the right experience needed to finish a job. Whether the user needs an operator, an analyst—or both, we will insert ourselves on-site, getting our hands dirty until the objectives are met.
