CHCNAV AlphaAir 6 UAV LiDAR System

CHCNAV AlphaAir 6 (AA6) UAV LiDAR System The CHCNAV AlphaAir 6 (AA6) is a high-performance UAV LiDAR system built for professionals who need more range, more productivity, and more flexibility from a lightweight aerial survey payload. Designed for terrain mapping, engineering surveys, forestry, corridor work, volume calculations, and high-efficiency drone LiDAR projects, the AA6 combines a long-range laser scanner, high-precision IMU, integrated GNSS, and an optional imaging workflow in one compact system. The AA6 host weighs 1.35 kg, measures 155 × 120 × 129 mm, supports up to 2 million points per second, offers 16 returns, and delivers a maximum ranging capability of up to 2100 m under high-reflectivity conditions. What makes the AA6 especially attractive is that it is not just small — it is built to solve the common limitations of small UAV LiDAR payloads. CHCNAV positions the AA6 around longer ranging performance, higher-altitude efficiency, stronger MTA capability, and better operational output per flight. The system supports a 4/3-inch camera workflow with switchable 25MP / 100MP imaging, allowing operators to optimize for lower-light image quality or higher-resolution capture depending on the mission. CHCNAV also highlights typical operating altitudes up to 400–600 m AGL, greater efficiency in mountainous terrain, and up to 15 km² coverage per flight at 400 m AGL. The AA6 family includes two configurations. The standard AA6 uses a single-camera design with switchable 25MP / 100MP imaging for flexible aerial survey workflows, while the AA6D adds a dual-camera configuration with a wider 110° field of view for users who prioritize faster coverage and higher efficiency on larger projects. The AA6 is also designed to fit into a complete production workflow rather than acting as a standalone sensor. It works with SmartGo for mission setup and field control, supports real-time point cloud display, and fits into CHCNAV’s broader processing ecosystem through CoPre, CoCloud, and CoProcess. Platform support includes rotor UAVs and fixed-wing UAVs, and compatibility with CHCNAV X500, CHCNAV P35, DJI M300/M350
