AlphaAir 6

Flagship Airborne LiDAR + Imaging System

The CHCNAV AlphaAir 6 (AA6) airborne LiDAR system is designed for efficient aerial surveying in complex and high-relief terrain.

    • Combining next-generation prism scanning technology with a high-grade inertial navigation system, the AA6 delivers a maximum ranging capability of up to 2,100 m and supports typical operating altitudes of 100–600 m AGL.

    • Powered by 5th-generation waveform processing, it enhances point cloud density and data completeness. Its lightweight integrated design improves flight endurance, while open interfaces ensure compatibility with multirotor and fixed-wing UAV platforms.

Main Features

  • Long Range + High-Grade IMU

    Up to 2,100 m with typical AGL of 100 to 600 m

  • High Point Cloud Density

    Up to 1,000,000 pts/s at 120 m AGL and 200,000 pts/s at 400 m AGL

  • Single/Dual Camera Options

    25 MP imaging,supports swithching up to 100 MP and ultra-wide 110° FOV

  • Ultra-Lightweight Design

    Only 1.35 kg - up to 50 minutes of endurance and 15 km² coverage per mission on the CHCNAV X500.

Next-Generation Laser + High-Grade IMU

The AA6 integrates an upgraded core laser with a maximum ranging capability of up to 2,100 m, supporting typical AGL operations at 100–600 m, and percision is 5 mm @ 400 m, 300 kHz. Its high-grade IMU, offering 0.3°/h bias instability, ensuring reliable performance in complex, high-relief environments.

Powered by 5th-generation RWP real-time waveform processing with seven multi-period capabilities, the AA6 supports 1,000,000 pts/s at 120 m AGL and 200,000 pts/s at 400 m AGL. With higher power, smaller spot, AA6 get greater penetration. With innovative real-time multi-period algorithm, real-time point cloud is also supported in high PRR. 

High Point Cloud Density

The AA6 single camera features a 4/3-inch CMOS sensor with 25 MP resolution, supporting switching up to 100 MP.

The AA6 dual camera integrates dual 1.8-inch APS-C CMOS sensors, delivering an ultra-wide 110° field of view and achieving up to 30% higher operational efficiency.

Single/Dual Camera Options

Weighing only 1.35 kg, the AA6 delivers up to 50 minutes of flight time and up to 15 km² coverage per mission on the CHCNAV X500 platform.

Ultra-Lightweight Design

With open interface protocols, the AA6 supports seamless integration with mainstream multirotor and fixed-wing UAV platforms, enabling expanded mission scenarios.
