AlphaAir 15 Benefits and Performance
High-precision data capture
The AlphaAir 15 (AA15) offers 15 mm linear accuracy at 150 m, thanks to its patented tilted prism technology. This precision ensures reliable data for complex projects like corridor mapping, where high-density point clouds are essential.
Extended range and effective coverage
With a range of up to 1,800 m and scanning capability at 700 m altitude, the AA15 covers large areas with minimal precision loss—ideal for mapping roads, power lines, pipelines, and railways.
Exceptional vegetation penetration
This unit excels in densely vegetated areas, achieving up to 16 returns per pulse thanks to its multilayer scanning. This facilitates the acquisition of more ground points for accurate digital models.
Multi-platform compatibility
Weighing only 2.5 kg and equipped with the AlphaPort interface, the AA15 integrates quickly and easily into UAVs, aircraft, and helicopters, enabling fast and hassle-free missions.
High-density point clouds
Captures 2 million points per second, allowing for detailed and accurate 3D environment reconstruction—ideal for urban inspection, road mapping, and power line surveys.
High-resolution imaging options
Compatible with calibrated 45 MP, 61 MP, and 130 MP oblique cameras, enhancing the photogrammetric workflow by combining high-resolution imagery with LiDAR data to produce precise 3D models.
Integrated ecosystem and optimized workflow
Part of CHCNAV’s complete ecosystem:
- SmartGo app for automated capture and real-time monitoring.
- CoPre/CoProcess software for efficient processing, data extraction, and model generation.
Field reliability and durability
Designed to operate under demanding conditions: –20 °C to +50 °C temperature range, IP64 protection, and guaranteed robustness and resistance.
