Benefits and performance

• High Performance: The X500 boasts a 5 kg payload capacity and offers a flight endurance of 58 minutes, or up to 50 minutes when equipped with the CHCNAV AA10 LiDAR. Its IP55 rating and 12 m/s wind resistance ensure reliable performance in challenging environments.
• Optimal Flight Safety: The X500 features robust redundancy with dual GNSS, triple IMU backups, dual-redundant flight control, and safe return strategies. Its millimetre-wave radar ensures precise obstacle detection and avoidance, including trees, buildings, and towers. The V-SLAM visual positioning system enables landings on moving vehicles and vessels.
• Efficient Energy System: Paired with the BS10 charging station, which holds up to six batteries, it allows for fast charging from 20% to 90% in just 40 minutes, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
• Versatile Payload Options: The X500 supports up to three concurrent payloads and is compatible with CHCNAV LiDARs and cameras. Its open SDK interface facilitates integration with third-party devices, enabling customisation for specific mission requirements. Built on the universal Mavlink protocol, it ensures adaptability to multiple applications.
• Long-Range Operation: The X500 uses CHCNAV’s video transmission system with a range of up to 20 km. Advanced algorithms optimise HD video transmission by minimising latency and enhancing reliability. Its 1080p HD FPV feed and 10.1″ large-screen remote control provide an intuitive operating experience.
• Intelligent Flight Software: CHCNAV SmartGo ground control software supports diverse flight path options, including rectangular, strip, polygonal, and façade routes. It provides real-time updates on the drone’s status, heading, and surrounding obstacles, ensuring enhanced safety for beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations.
