CHC Navigation Introduces BB4 UAV and AlphaUni LiDAR Series

Shanghai, China  – CHC Navigation (CHCNAV) announced today the launch of the new multi-rotor BB4 drone and AlphaUni 300/900/1300 LiDAR. The groundbreaking combination of the AlphaUni 300/900/1300 LiDAR and BB4 UAV solutions creates one of the most comprehensive and versatile ranges for 3D mapping and geospatial data acquisition in land, air and marine applications.

“The purchase of a 3D mobile mapping system is too often constrained to a specific purpose, such as airborne or ground survey. A lot of our customers expressed the need to have a professional LiDAR solution that can be used in different scenarios, offering optimal adaptability to their current and future needs,” said George Zhao, CEO of CHC Navigation. “With our AlphaUni series, we are now introducing an innovative response with a multi-platform LiDAR system that can be used with an aerial or marine drone, on a vehicle or carried as a backpack. In addition, the long flight autonomy of our new BB4 UAV allows missions over large areas in a single flight for exceptional productivity”.

AlphaUni LiDAR Series

High-precision, easy installation, multi-platform

The new AlphaUni series enhances CHCNAV’s Alpha Mobile Mapping family with one of the lightest and most versatile long-range laser scanner systems available on the high-end market. The series provides optimized data sets powered by advanced GNSS/INS sensors and long-range Riegl® scanners. AlphaUni’s design adapts to a variety of applications and can be installed on a variety of platforms, including multi-rotor UAV, fixed-wing VTOL UAV, vehicles, rail trolleys, backpacks, boats, and more.
