HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah An Airman at Hill Air Force Base is among the Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center announced finalists for the 2021 AFIMSC Innovation Rodeo.
Master Sgt. Luke Rogan, assistant chief of operations with the 775th Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department, was selected for co-innovating an idea to modernize the way the Defense Department conducts real property inventory and facility inspections using 3D structural scanning. Co-innovators of the idea are Scott McClure and Capt. Nathanael Kohl, 611th CES, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska.
The proposal includes using high-resolution 360-degree cameras and 3D scanners in Air Force civil engineering processes. Rogan said these technologies would integrate seamlessly with cloud-based solutions to create entirely new, visual-spatial facility management techniques that can be used for space utilization, facility assessments, housing inspections and fire and safety inspections.
