AlphaAir 10

Next Generation UAV Lidar+Imaging System

Next generation mid-range airborne LiDAR system, which integrates high-performance LiDAR, full-frame camera, high-precision multi-constellation GNSS/inertial navigation

  • Long-range LiDAR scanning of up to 800 m, along with high-speed scanning of up to 500,000 points per second
  • Strong vegetation penetration, up to 8 returns, ability to easily generate real DEM, DSM in challenging conditions
  • Includes multi-constellation GNSS, high-precision IMU, and full-frame camera for high-accuracy UAV LiDAR+Imaging
  • Simple setup on various UAV platforms, including DJI M350 and CHCNav BB4
  • Supports automated reality capture and real-time data visualization accessible directly from the UAV controller, enabling informed decision-making throughout the survey operation
  • Seamlessly integrates LiDAR and RGB sensors to meet the needs of professional UAV LiDAR mapping and drone photogrammetry.
  • All-in-one processing software, including strip adjustment and orthomosaic, as standard features
