*Summary*. Versar, CEG, and a small dynamic team of partners provide NSA Annapolis(NSAA)
*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 project goal was to better understand and communicate
Courses of Actions (COAs) that the installation might need to implement in order to be more resilient for climate and coastal change.
Creating X3D graphics models for 3D Virtual Environment (3DVE) technologies, tools, data and visualization supported development of a comprehensive
[USNA Installation Resiliency Plan]
(https://www.usna.edu/NewsCenter/2023/04/USNA,_NSAA_RELEASE_INSTALLATION_RESILIENCY_PLAN.php) in 2022.
This work was supervised by Naval Support Activity Annapolis (NSAA). Commercial contractors Versar, CEG, and a small dynamic team of partners provided NSA Annapolis (NSAA),
U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) NAVFAC and Commander of Naval Installation Command (CNIC)
U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) NAVFAC and Commander of Naval Installation Command (CNIC)
with the 3D Virtual Environment (3DVE) technologies, tools, data and
visualization platform to better understand and communicate specific Courses of Actions (COAs)
that the installation might need to implement in order to be more resilient for
climate and coastal change.
