While 3D scanning technologies promise to revolutionize the documentation for worksites, its adoption into Navy processes has been slow and isolated to niche use cases (e.g. 3D models for training, antenna masking analysis on ships, load planning, space capsule recovery design for LPDs). Government labs are popping up that are pursuing these current and new use cases and are working largely independent of one another. With no knowledge or data sharing repository, efforts are not accelerating as fast as they could. Our efforts started off as another example of this story, the intention of this manuscript is to convey our individual use case of the utilization of 3d scanning in ship installation; however we will further provide a shared vision, based on our conversations with other labs, of how the Navy should share this scan data to obtain the most capability from it.
