CHCNAV AU20
Multi-Platformal Mobile Mapping System
High-Accuracy Data, Land or Air
The AlphaUni 20 is a cost-effective, high-end multi-platform mobile mapping system that showcases CHCNAV’s cutting-edge LiDAR technology. Engineered for precision point cloud generation, it is the perfect solution for vehicle-based surveys, including pavement condition assessments, highway maintenance, and infrastructure asset management. When deployed for aerial surveys, the AU20 significantly boosts efficiency through its superior vegetation penetration, extensive measurement range, and exceptional data density.
Absolute accuracy of 2 to 5 cm, even in difficult site conditions.
Scan up to 1450m with high point density.
Flexible integration with UAVs, vehicles, and backpacks.
High-precision navigation system for accurate data collection.
Attain 5 mm repeat ranging accuracy through the AU20’s advanced navigation algorithms. This ensures high-fidelity point cloud generation and reliable data integrity, even when operating in demanding or complex conditions.
Maximise productivity with a generous 1450-metre measurement range and high-speed scanning at 2 million points per second. This allows for rapid coverage of expansive areas without compromising on the high-density data required for detailed analysis.
Advanced Multi-Target Detection: Capture precise ground data through dense foliage with up to 16 target echoes. Generate high-fidelity DEMs and DSMs with ease, significantly enhancing data quality in complex or overgrown environments.
One system, multiple platforms. Easily switch the AU20 between aerial (manned or UAV), vehicular, and backpack setups. This adaptability allows you to move from large-scale road corridor mapping to high-detail airborne surveys with ease, maximising the utility of your equipment.
Engineered for the field, the IP64-rated AlphaUni 20 offers a compact, lightweight design at just 2.82 kg. This ensures reliable performance in diverse environments and allows for seamless integration across a wide array of platforms, from UAVs to land vehicles.
Optimise your workflow with the integrated AU20 software suite. Use SmartGo for real-time mission monitoring and CoPre for intelligent point cloud processing, ensuring high-quality deliverables with maximum efficiency and minimal manual intervention.
One-Click Connectivity: Streamline your transition between platforms with the Alphaport system. This seamless integration minimises downtime, allowing you to focus on delivering high-quality survey results across multiple applications.
Multi-platform Premium LiDAR

Download Datasheet (PDF)The AlphaUni 20 is a premium-grade, multi-platform LiDAR system that balances high-end performance with an economical entry point. It integrates CHCNAV’s cutting-edge technology into a versatile frame, allowing you to achieve exceptional data density and accuracy without the typical "premium-class" price tag.
At the core of the AU20 is a high-precision Inertial Navigation System (INS) coupled with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The system uses a proprietary navigation algorithm to fuse data from these sensors, maintaining a stable trajectory even when GNSS signals are obstructed by "urban canyons" or dense tree cover.
Yes, the AlphaUni 20 is specifically engineered for high-efficiency, large-scale mapping. It combines a long-range capability of up to 1450 metres with an ultra-fast scanning rate of 2 million points per second.
This allows you to cover vast areas—such as extensive highway corridors or large forestry tracts—in significantly less time than standard sensors. Its multi-platform versatility also means you can switch from vehicle-based road surveys to airborne mapping in minutes, providing the operational flexibility required for complex, wide-area infrastructure projects.
The AlphaUni 20 is a truly multi-platform system, designed for seamless transition between air, land, and marine environments. Thanks to its lightweight 2.82 kg design and universal Alphaport connection, it is compatible with:
The AU20 can measure up to 1450 metres.
