CHCNAV AlphaAir 6D (AA6d) Dual-Camera Airborne LiDAR System for UAV Aerial Surveying
The CHCNAV AlphaAir 6D (AA6d) is a high-performance airborne LiDAR system designed for efficient aerial surveying in complex and mountainous terrain. It combines advanced prism scanning technology with a high-precision inertial navigation system (INS) to deliver accurate and reliable data.
With a maximum range of up to 2,100 metres and typical operating altitudes between 100 and 600 m above ground level (AGL), the AA6d is well suited to a wide range of mapping and geospatial applications.
Powered by fifth-generation waveform processing, the system enhances point cloud density, accuracy, and completeness, ensuring high-quality results. Its lightweight, integrated design supports longer UAV flight times, while open system interfaces enable compatibility with both multirotor and fixed-wing platforms.

Next-Generation Laser + High-Grade IMU
The AA6d 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 precision 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.
High Point Cloud Density
Powered by 5th-generation RWP real-time waveform processing with seven multi-period capabilities, the AA6d supports 1,000,000 pts/s at 120 m AGL and 200,000 pts/s at 400 m AGL. With higher power amd smaller spot, AA6d get greater penetration. With innovative real-time multi-period algorithm, real-time point cloud is also supported in high PRR.
Single/Dual Camera Options
The AA6 single camera features a 4/3-inch CMOS sensor with 25 MP resolution, supporting switching up to 100 MP.
The AA6d 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.
Ultra-Lightweight Design
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.
Open Platform Compatibility
With open interface protocols, the AA6 supports seamless integration with mainstream multirotor and fixed-wing UAV platforms, enabling expanded mission scenarios.
