In the U.S. Government and Military, every minute and dollar counts. Time spent on manual data collection for planning and maintenance is time and resources diverted from critical missions. Our services provide a solution for rapid, precise digital capture, empowering your teams to enhance efficiency, safety, and operational readiness.

  • We eliminate the pain of outdated or incomplete geospatial data. Our rapid 3D capture services allow for the creation of detailed, real-world digital maps for mission planning and pre-visualization. This enables detailed line-of-sight analysis and route planning, which is a significant advantage in tactical decision-making.

  • Manual methods for MRO on large equipment like aircraft are incredibly time-consuming and costly. We solve this by using handheld scanners to quickly and efficiently capture data, reducing inspection times from 48 hours to just 30 minutes for a C-5 aircraft. This streamlines MRO operations and allows personnel to focus on high- value repairs rather than manual data collection.

  • We solve the challenge of creating realistic and immersive training environments. 3D laser scanning is used to rapidly create realistic scenarios for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) training technologies, enabling military personnel to learn and train faster in highly realistic digital environments.

  • Share accurate 3D models with contractors, electricians, and other trades, ensuring everyone works from the same precise as-built data, minimizing on-site conflicts. Providing installers with a precise 3D model of existing conditions for complex lighting or cabinetry installations can reduce on-site installation time by 10-15% due to fewer adjustments and clearer understanding, saving valuable labor hours and preventing schedule overruns.

Real-World Applications

Cultural Heritage Preservation:

Utilize 3D scanning for detailed visualizations and monitoring of historic landmarks like the USS Arizona and USS Utah at Pearl Harbor, or for creating virtual tours of significant sites like Jimmy Carter's Boyhood Farm. This supports comprehensive documentation of historical structures and artifacts.

Forensic Science and Crime Scene Investigation:

Advance the use of 3D imaging for precise and comprehensive 3D depictions of crime scenes and evidence. This enables advanced forensic analysis (e.g., ballistic trajectory, blood spatter analysis) and facilitates courtroom presentations through immersive 3D visualizations and even physically replicated 3D printed models of evidence. Studies show these technologies lead to successful prosecutions, improved multiagency collaboration, and valuable crime-scene perspectives for juries.

Infrastructure Management & Planning:

Support airport pavement research by detecting distresses and aiding pavement design using advanced data collection methods, including 3D technologies for Digital Elevation Models (DEMs).

Mission Planning & Operations:

Contribute to the development of 3D digital world maps like the Army's "One World Terrain" (OWT) for detailed line-of-sight analysis, route planning, and battle damage assessment. Create 3D holographic images of urban environments for pre-mission planning.

Training & Simulation:

Develop believable "digital doubles" for realistic training simulations and rapidly create realistic scenarios for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) immersive training technologies.

Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) & Reverse Engineering:

Streamline MRO operations for aircraft components by quickly and efficiently scanning large aircraft structures, eliminating time-consuming manual methods. Examples include inspecting hail damage on C-5 aircraft in minutes instead of hours and reducing component positioning time from days to hours for complex military aerospace manufacturing like the Bell Helicopter V-280 Valor assembly.

Construction & Engineering (Military Bases & Facilities):

Enhance historic preservation efforts and monitor the structural integrity of various military facilities. Support the viability of 3D-printed construction for military applications in remote and expeditionary environments, highlighting speed, safety, reduced labor, and structural efficiency.
