Laser 3D Scanning Technology Widely Used for Military Defense Contract Inspection

From the Space Shuttle to high tech military jets, 3D laser scanning inspection has reached every level of military defense contract inspection. A few years ago, laser technology was instituted to scan the Space Shuttle for potential errors and flaws, allowing difficult-to-inspect areas to be accurately measured and compiled for analysis.

Since then, 3D laser scanning technology has been implemented in all levels of military defense inspection, allowing accurate measurements in a 3 dimensional form that eliminates all guess work by presenting the data as it is accurately depicted. This allows equipment, parts and tools to be accurately measured and compared to as-designed CAD models, allowing flaws to be instantly identified so they can be repaired.

The accuracy and precision that military technology requires demands that the laser scanning and contract inspection company be ITAR certified. Without that certification, there’s no guarantee the inspection will meet the rigorous demands of military applications. (This was the paragraph added to put in the requirements they wanted)

When implemented for contract inspection, laser technology improves the safety, reliability, and useful life of high valued equipment where lives may indeed be at stake. It provides the accurate data necessary in the field of defense, leaving no room for guess work by projecting data that accurately fits the status of the equipment being scanned.

What’s ideal about the new developments in 3d laser scanning technology is its increasing portability, allowing the equipment to be taken anywhere so that equipment can be checked in the field. Installments of any size can be scanned, from a Humvee to a fighter jet, right there in the field. This allows for the kind of detailed-specific quality inspection that’s so essential when lives are at stake.

Laser scanning scans the equipment as is, not just how it’s designed to be. This helps identify flaws to be fixed before they become a problem where lives are put on the line.

Laser technology can even be used to accurately access the hulls of ships while still in the water, no matter how big. Ship hulls can involve complicated geometric shapes, especially when they involve the complexity and scope of military design. 3D laser scanning produces an exact model of the ship’s hull while still in the water, identifying any flaws or weakness for potential repair.

The safety an accuracy of military infrastructure has been greatly improved through the development of laser technology when used for product inspection, improving the safety of the equipment as well as the lives of the personnel who operate them.
