The Apache 3 USV demonstration for the potential clients in Romania

Marine Research LTD successfully demonstrated Apache 3 USV for potential clients in Romania. In February 2022, Marine Research LTD., our partner in Romania, successfully conducted a one-day live demonstration of the Apache 3 USV solution for three organizations, AFDJ, Apele Romane, and Hidroelectrica, that are water, river, and energy administrations and companies. The demonstration was managed near the Danube River, showcasing CHCNAV's latest hydrographic technologies and solutions. Figure 1. The discussion of the Apache 3 USV demonstration in Romania. CHCNAV marine drone solutions CHC Navigation (CHCNAV) integrates high-performance marine drones, rugged GNSS positioning and heading sensors, and echo sounders into a complete solution for marine surveying and construction professionals to conduct typical hydrographic and bathymetric surveying and mapping projects in the coastal and inland shallow waters. Marine Research introduced Apache 3 USV with single beam echosounder, Apache 4 USV with integrated ADCP and single beam echosounder, and Apache 6 USV with Norbit multibeam echosounder. Those are all the unmanned marine drones engineered to access waters, from the coastal zones, ports, and harbors, to inland waterways or lakes, which are too shallow for traditional manned survey vessels to access. In addition, USVs can be equipped with various instruments such as single or multibeam echo sounders, ADCP, and other sensors. Our partners also presented the results of a comparison between the single beam and multibeam survey. Figure 2. Apache 3 USV is conducting the Danube river survey. Demonstration at Danube River Marine Research introduced the manual and automatic operation modes and Auto Planner and Hydro Survey measurement software during the demonstration. They preplanned the route in the software, and then Apache 3 automatically took measurements along the plotted lines. Apache 3 can use 4G capabilities to eliminate communication distance limitations in the mobile network coverage area. Figure 3. Observing the preplanned route of the Apache 3 USV with the CHCNAV's software "We are impressed with the CHCNAV's marine solutions, its portability, flexibility, and affordable cost," said one of the attendees. "After this demonstration, I am confident that the Apache USV matches for SonTek ADCPs we purchased to measure the velocities and flows." _____ About CHC Navigation CHC Navigation (CHCNAV) creates innovative GNSS navigation and positioning solutions to make customers' work more efficient.

CHC Navigation introduces the AlphaAir 1400 and AlphaAir 2400 Airborne LiDAR Series

CHC Navigation introduces the AlphaAir 1400 (AA1400) and AlphaAir 2400 (AA2400) Airborne LiDAR Series. Advanced airborne laser scanners impress with their combination of lightweight, long-range, high accuracy, and scanning speed. Shanghai, China – April 1, 2022 – CHC Navigation (CHCNAV) today announced the release of the AlphaAir 1400 (AA1400) and AlphaAir 2400 (AA2400) LiDAR systems. AA1400 and AA2400 are very lightweight and compact airborne laser scanners that are easily installed on various UAV platforms or small survey aircraft and helicopters. They are ideally adapted to high-density point corridor mapping applications, day or night, under leaf-on and leaf-off conditions or with dense vegetation to provide reliable results. “Nowadays, it is critical to obtain the highest data quality for the majority of aerial survey projects. In addition to state-of-art GNSS and IMU sensors, the AA1400 and 2400 also integrate Riegl’s VUX LiDARs with their unique Waveform-LiDAR technology, allowing echo digitization and online waveform processing. Multi-target resolution is the basis for penetrating even dense foliage,” said Andrei Gorb, Product Manager of CHC Navigation’s Mapping and Geospatial Division. “The continuously rotating polygonal mirror wheel enables scanning speed of up to 400 lines per second, allowing for effective coverage of large areas when used from fast drones or aircraft.” Figure 1. The BB4 UAV equipped with the AA2400 scanner for the city mapping task Outstanding accuracy scanning Combining with industrial-grade GNSS and high precision IMU systems, the AA1400 and 2400 provide a 2 to 5 cm survey-grade accuracy. Their built-in premium RIEGL VUX-120 and VUX-240 LiDAR sensors feature a high-speed data acquisition rate of up to 1.8 MHz and scan speed up to 400 lines per second. It provides linear accuracy of 1 to 2 cm on long-range scanning and perfectly suits the fixed-wing UAV corridor mapping application. High image quality CHCNAV offers several external cameras add-on for the AlphaAir. Users can choose from 42, 100 or 150 MP fully calibrated sensors for data acquisition. And setups can include nadir or nadir and oblique cameras from Sony or PhaseOne. By obtaining high-resolution geo-referenced and oblique imagery, more applications can be supported, increasing the return on investment for the client. Figure 2. The scanning results of the AA1400 and 2400 LiDAR Series Cable-free connection The one-click connection of the AlphaPort to the power source and camera makes the installation of the AA1400 and 2400 very quick and easy, eliminating the need for additional accessories and time for camera calibration. The AA1400 and 2400 reduce the risk of cable damage caused by aircraft vibration and acceleration during takeoff and landing. Comprehensive ecosystem CHCNAV provides a full range of solutions that allows a complete LiDAR solution to be added to the users’ geomatic services. The software suite includes CoCapture UAV field application for fully automated reality capture and real-time mission tracking, and the CoPre desktop software for semi-automated point cloud processing.
