AlphaAir 1400
Pushing the Boundaries of UAV Sensing and Mapping
Built on cutting-edge LiDAR technology, the AA1400 combines Riegl VUX-120 laser scanner, high-end multi-constellation GNSS/inertial sensors, and an add-on high-resolution RGB, thermal, or multispectral camera
- Highest data quality and point density, up to 2 million measurements per second, scan speed up to 400 lines per second, and field of view of 100°
- Nadir, Forward, and Backward scan pattern, making it ideal for vertical structures and narrow canyons
- Supports external high-resolution RGB, thermal, or multispectral camera
- Flexible and easy installation on diverse platforms, including helicopters, small aircrafts, and various drones, including CHCNav BB4
- All-in-one processing software, including strip adjustment and orthomosaic, as standard features
- automated point cloud processing, image georeferencing, point cloud colorization, and depth maps
- Ideal for utility corridors, oil and gas pipelines, forestry, open-pit mining, large surveying projects
