Features
High-precision point cloud generation
Premium quality images collection
Advanced vegetation penetration
Efficient and powerful corridor mapping sensor
Highest data quality
Utilizing CHCNAV’s patented tilted-prism technology, the AA15 delivers 15 mm linear accuracy on longrange scans up to 150 meters. This innovative technology supports echo digitization and online waveform processing. With a continuously rotating polygon mirror, the AA15 achieves scan speeds of up to 600 lines per second, combined with 2 million pulses per second, resulting in high-density point clouds that recreate the world with remarkable precision.
Imaging quality
For high-resolution imaging needs, the AA15 supports several external camera accessories, including CHCNAV’s 45 or 61 MP full-frame calibrated cameras and a 130 MP half-fame oblique camera. Users can also integrate cameras from third-par ty oblique or or thho- camera manufacturers. The combination of high-density point clouds and high-resolution imagery facilitates rapid mesh model construction and provides detailed texture information.
Strong vegetation penetration
The AA15 excels in vegetation penetration thanks to its advanced multi-target capability that supports up to 16 returns per laser pulse and 7 multi-period zone processing. With a high point frequency of 2 million pulses per second, the AA15 increases the probability of laser penetration through vegetation, making it easier to obtain more ground points.
Airborne platform compatibility
Featuring CHCNAV’s unified Alphaport interface, the AA15 allows quick and easy connection to power sources and cameras with a single click. Its compact design and light weight of only 2.5 kg ensures seamless integration into various UAS, UAV, RPAS, small manned aircraft and helicopters.

Automatic Extraction
Using CHCNAV CoProcess software, users can automatically detect railroads, roads, and buildings based on high-density AA15 data.
Comprehensive geospatial ecosystem
Overview
The AlphaAir 15 (AA15) is a lightweight airborne LiDAR system developed by CHCNAV. It combines long-range scanning capability and high accuracy with an extremely fast data acquisition rate, all in a compact design. The AA15 is ideal for scenarios that require the collection of large amounts of high-density data in order to identify and extract building and road information from point clouds. For large-scale operations, especially in mountainous areas with significant elevation changes, the AA15 accurately detects ground features even at the bottom of valleys. Equipped with a variety of cameras to meet diverse needs, the system can be mounted on light aircraft, helicopters, or UAV platforms.
