Overview
What the CHCNAV AlphaAir 6 (AA6) is for
The AlphaAir 6 is a survey-grade UAV LiDAR payload built for wide-area topographic and corridor mapping. It ranges to 2,100 m, fires 2 million pulses a second with up to 16 returns per pulse, and holds better than 5 cm horizontal and vertical accuracy. At 1.35 kg it flies up to 50 minutes on the CHCNAV X500, covering ground that would take a crew weeks on foot.
Choosing
Is the CHCNAV AlphaAir 6 (AA6) right for your job?
Good candidate when
Corridor mapping, powerline and long-range work where 2,100 m range and 16 returns matter more than payload weight.
Consider another route when
Short-range site mapping, where a lighter, cheaper payload does the job. This is a payload, not an aircraft, so it also needs a confirmed airframe.
Against the alternativesAgainst other UAV LiDAR payloads in the range. The first question to settle is which airframe it mounts to, which we confirm in writing per aircraft.
