*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.

The Extensible 3D (X3D) Graphics International Standard was used for interactive presentation of building, waterfront and sea-level models. Using Web standards ensures the greatest-possible archival interoperability.
This work was supervised by Naval Support Activity Annapolis (NSAA). Commercial contractors Versar, CEG, and a small dynamic team of partners provided results. Multiple stakeholders include USNA, NSAA,
Naval Facilities Engineering Services Command (NAVFAC), and Commander of Naval Installation Command (CNIC). Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) provided technical expertise and tools for model validation.
