HAxMx technology takes the performance of agricultural and topographic mapping drones to a new level
After more than 100,000 hectares mapped in tests, XMobots is proud to announce HAxMx technology at DroneShow 2017, which features two major innovations: it doubles the performance of the Arator and Echar drones and triples the performance of the Nauru drone; it generates multispectral maps with an accuracy of a few centimetres without control points (planimetric and altimetric).
2X MORE PERFORMANCE
MULTISPECTRAL ACCURACY
Currently, multispectral mapping equipment has low performance and is unable to generate MDS and orthophotos with planimetric and altimetric accuracy. HAxMx technology has put an end to this limitation, taking drone mapping to a new level.
- Arator 5A HA2M5
1,500ha mapped with 10cm GSD with accuracy without control points and 5 bands in just 45min of flight.
- Echar 20C HA2M5
5,100 ha mapped with 10cm GSD with accuracy without control points and 5 bands in just 1h54min of flight time.
- Nauru 500B HA3M5
IMPRESSIVE 49,000ha mapped with 10cm GSD accuracy without control points and 5 bands in 7h of flight.
HAxMx technology is the result of the fusion of HA technology with the new xMx camera specially developed by XMobots for the Arator, Echar and Nauru drones.
Main features of Arator and Echar's HA2M5 technology:
- 24MPixel APSC sensor with 3.9um pixel pitch that features linescan technology with 5 bands (blue, green, red, RedEdge725nm and NIR 850nm) generating multispectral data with geometric and radiometric accuracy;
- 2 oblique sensors that map twice as much area as a single sensor;
- Fixed focal length lens;
- Signals integrated with XMobots HA technology that allows the generation of maps with centimeter accuracy in the visible bands as well as in Nir and Red Edge.
It's worth noting that the great thing about Arator, Echar and Nauru equipment is that it can be upgraded, allowing it to keep up with the demands of its users. Below is the list of available HAxMx technology configurations:
- Arator 5A 1M5 (1 nadir and multispectral sensor)
- Arator 5A 2M3 (2 oblique sensors in the visible)
- Arator 5A 2M5 (2 oblique sensors in multispectral)
- Arator 5A HA2M3 (2 oblique sensors with HA technology in the visible)
- Arator 5A HA2M5 (2 oblique sensors with HA technology in multispectral)
- Echar 20C 2M3 (2 oblique sensors in the visible)
- Echar 20C 2M5 (2 oblique sensors in multispectral)
- Echar 20C HA2M3 (2 oblique sensors with HA technology in the visible)
- Echar 20C HA2M5 (2 oblique sensors with HA technology in multispectral)
- Nauru 500B 3M3 (3 oblique sensors in the visible)
- Nauru 500B 3M5 (3 oblique sensors in multispectral)
- Nauru 500B HA3M3 (3 oblique sensors with HA technology in the visible)
- Nauru 500B HA3M5 (3 oblique sensors with HA technology in multispectral)
***The Echar 20C Agro and Nauru 500B Agro configurations have been replaced by the 2M5 and 3M5 configurations, respectively.
