NAVFAC EXWC Prints First Topographic 3D Model of DOD’s Largest Instrumental Navy Sea Test Range Story by Sarah G. MacMillan, NAVFAC EXWC Deputy Public Affairs Officer
PORT HUENEME, Calif. – NAVFAC EXWC’s Public Works Department has commissioned NAVFAC EXWC’s Additive Manufacturing (AM) Team to create a topographic 3D model of Naval Base Ventura County’s (NBVC) San Nicolas Island (SNI), home to the Point Mugu Sea Range. The Point Mugu Sea Range is the largest instrumental U.S. Navy sea test range facility within the Department of Defense (DOD), and one of several sea test range facilities worldwide. The 3D topographic model is the first of its kind for the Point Mugu Sea Range, designed for local DOD agencies to work with scaled modeling displaying finite topographic details for planning purposes. The request for the Point Mugu Sea Range topographic 3D model comes from systems engineering, technical planning and acquisition programs across the Department of the Navy to acquire more specific forms of modeling to support future product planning of land and sea ranges. This increase in modeling is perpetuated by the DOD’s continued forward position of advancing naval capabilities to compete with foreign adversaries.
