Bluedrop Training & Simulation

Bluedrop Training and Simulation Inc. is a Canadian company that builds training and simulation products. It is a small to medium sized business with its home base in Nova Scotia. The head office is in Halifax. The company designs courseware, virtual and augmented reality training, technical publications and in-service support.

Much of its work is for defence forces, search and rescue agencies, fire departments and forest fire services. Two of its trainers are the Hoist Mission Training System and the Rear Crew Mission Trainer. The hoist trainer lets crews practice rescue and hoisting in realistic scenarios, with cable behavior that reacts to flight dynamics. The rear crew trainer covers helicopter communications, gunnery and the physics of swinging loads.

The product list also includes the Multipurpose Gunnery Mission Trainer, a Portable Hoist Mission Training System, the Mission Anti-Rollover Gunnery Simulator and a Virtual Ship. Learninglogics is a software suite that manages training documents, content development and learning management in one tool. Services include Simulation As A Service, courseware for maintenance and operational crews, technical manuals and in-service support.

The site describes its solutions as 100 percent Canadian designed and developed. In December 2024, SkyAlyne, a joint venture between CAE and KF Aerospace, signed a 25 year contract with the company. The contract supports the Royal Canadian Air Force Future Aircrew Training program. The company also has a history with other RCAF training programs, including work with KF Aerospace and CAE on fixed wing search and rescue.

The headquarters is at 36 Solutions Drive, Suite 300, Halifax. The website has a contact form and a newsletter sign up. A page for business development invites new clients to get in touch. The site also lists a careers page.
