Obsidian 3D supports U.S. Government agencies and the U.S. Military with precision 3D data capture for efficient infrastructure management, accurate public safety planning, mission planning, training, maintenance, and engineering.

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.
