• 1. What are the key improvements of AA6D compared with the previous generation?

  AA6D delivers major upgrades in range, accuracy, and point density:
   

  Longer range: The AA6D integrates an upgraded core laser with a maximum ranging capability of up to 2,100 m—three times that of its predecessor.
   

  Higher accuracy: Equipped with a 0.3°/h bias-stability IMU, AA6D maintains reliable mapping accuracy even at typical flight altitudes of 100–600 m.
   

  Higher point density: Powered by 5th-generation RWP real-time waveform processing, AA6D delivers up to 1M pts/s with a point density of 220 pts/m² at 120 m AGL, and 200,000 pts/s with 13 pts/m² at 400 m AGL.

• 2. What are the differences between the AA6 and AA6D?

  The AA6 is equipped with a 4/3-inch CMOS sensor, offering 25 MP imaging resolution and support for 100 MP output. The AA6D integrates dual APS-C CMOS sensors with a 110° ultra-wide field of view, requiring only 20% side overlap and delivering up to 30% higher operational efficiency compared with the single-camera version.

• 3. How fast is data transfer, and can storage cards be swapped in the field?

  AA6D supports data transfer speeds up to 200 MB/s, significantly faster than previous systems. Storage cards are user-swappable during operation, enabling continuous missions.

• 4. What are the advantages of using APS-C CMOS sensors in the AA6D camera?

  APS-C CMOS sensors are about 60% larger than 4/3-inch sensors, enabling better light capture and improved image quality. This helps the AA6D deliver clearer, more detailed imagery, especially in low-light conditions or high-altitude aerial mapping missions.

• 5. What is the price of the CHCNAV AA6D?

  The price of the CHCNAV AA6D depends on your selected configuration. For detailed pricing and options, please contact CHC Navigation through the inquiry page.
