*Summary*. A high-fidelity model of the USNA campus was commissioned that distilled robot-collected scan data for publication as composable X3D graphics models. The overall project goal was to better understand and communicate implementation
## Overview
Courses of Actions (COAs) that the installation might need in order to be more resilient for climate and coastal change.

This simple model of both natural and built environments can assist with improving the
pace of technical, geospatial-based collaboration, and decision support for installation planning.
