Vertical Take-off and Landing fixed-wing drone for surveying and mapping applications

Just a few months ago CHC Navigation (CHCNAV) announced the release of fully autonomous, survey-grade Vertical Take-off and Landing fixed-wing drone for surveying and mapping applications.

“P330 Pro changes the way to capture geospatial information. Surveyors and engineers no longer need to spend time on fieldwork preparation to set up GCP systematically to reference the survey. P330 Pro provides professionals with an innovative and versatile platform that can hold an orthophoto camera or optional sensors, such as an oblique camera. Moreover, its integrated GNSS and IMU modules meet the most demanding requirements for mapping and topographic surveys,” said Dylan Cao, Product Manager at CHC Navigation’s UAV Division. “As a result, the use of the P330 Pro UAV compared to less versatile UAV solutions allows aerial survey companies to significantly improve their return on investment.”

CHC Navigation P330 Pro UAV solution is packed with the features to make it one of the most powerful VTOL drone on the market.

• Long Endurance, High Efficiency –The P330 Pro VTOL drone achieves longer flight time, for the missions up to 150 minutes duration and to map a region of up to 20 km² at a scale of 1:2000. It integrates a high-accuracy GNSS RTK/PPK module with up to 100 Hz differential data update rate for ultimate accuracy.
• Mapping anywhere – No runway and no extra equipment are needed for takeoff and landing. P330 Pro, as efficiently as a fixed-wing airplane, can take off and land almost anywhere – even in confined spaces or on rough terrain.
• Easy and Safe Operation –The P330 Pro is packed with the latest aviation technologies such as dual GNSS system, triple IMU systems, five safe return to base strategies, and nine security monitoring checks. Those technologies ensure the safety of flight operations and the reliability of aerial survey results. The EasyFly ground control software makes mission planning and pre-flight checks easier and safer.
• Compatible with many airborne sensors – P330 Pro makes no compromises on aerial image quality. Whether you need data for orthophotos, 3D models or multispectral mapping, P330 pro carries the best camera for every application. By exchanging cameras in the field, various types of data can be acquired with the same drone.
