The terrestrial and airborne Mobile Mappers from CHCNAV are presented in 2 series: the AlphaAir and AlphaUni. They combine the state-of-the-art high-performance hardware, such as long-range, precise laser scanners, high-resolution HDR panoramic cameras, and advanced GNSS receivers with the high precision IMU.
AlphaAir 450 is a lightweight and rugged system that integrates a high-performance laser scanner with an industrial-grade professional 26 MP camera and a high-precision inertial navigation system for high-quality data collection.
AlphaAir 1400 and AlphaAir 2400 are the premium airborne laser scanners with the 1430 and 2150 m scanning range for the high-density corridor LiDAR mapping applications, designed for use on various UAV platforms, helicopters, or small airplanes at up to 720 m and 1400 m operating flight altitudes respectively.

AlphaUni 900 and Alpha 3D are high-precision, long-range laser scanners with the unique Waveform-LiDAR technology from Riegl and a high-accuracy inertial navigation system, ready for demanding surveying missions in the air and on the ground and water, requiring the highest quality of data.
CHCNAV Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are designed to meet professional applications such as survey and mapping projects related to infrastructure, utilities, mining, and agriculture, which may require a high payload, extended flight time, advanced camera stabilization, and fully autonomous control.
BB4 UAV is a high-end unmanned aircraft system resulting from an alliance between the two industry leaders, where the scientific design and highly integrated production technology come from CHCNAV - a global manufacturer specializing in efficient geospatial measurement technologies, and its fully automated flight control system from DJI, the pioneer in the manufacturing of commercial UAVs. BB4 can be equipped with mobile mappers from CHCNAV.
P330 PRO VTOL Drone is a high-performance vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing unmanned aircraft system (UAS) equipped with the orthophoto camera and optional sensors, like an oblique camera for 3D modeling applications to address the most demanding mapping and topographic survey applications.
