About
About CHC Navigation
CHC Navigation builds precision-positioning and spatial-data systems around GNSS, inertial navigation, LiDAR and imaging. Surveyors use its receivers, total stations, mobile mapping systems and unmanned aircraft to capture terrain and infrastructure, while RTK and PPK processing supplies centimetre-level positions where ordinary satellite navigation is insufficient.
The same positioning stack guides excavators, dozers, graders and compactors against digital design surfaces through in-cab displays and machine-control hardware. Agriculture products add steering and field guidance, and marine systems support hydrographic work. For robotics and autonomous equipment, CHCNAV supplies tightly coupled GNSS/INS components and correction services that maintain position and orientation through vibration, motion and intermittent satellite visibility.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-09-15 - Partnership - Exyn integrates ExynAI with CHCNAV X500 drone
The integrated aircraft provides nearly 30 minutes of autonomous flight for mines, tunnels and industrial plants. ExynAI supplies onboard mapping, navigation and data capture without relying on GPS or a pre-existing map. The programme extends Exyn’s autonomy stack onto another third-party aerial platform as it expands across aerial and ground robots.

CGI-230 supplies centimetre-level position and attitude data to Kusa’s cloud-control platform. The navigation output is fused with lidar and vision sensors for routing, avoidance and emergency stops. The case study reports Kusa sweepers operating in nearly 30 Chinese cities.
Source - 2026-02-05 - Market Signal - CHCNAV presents global growth roadmap at Connect 2026
The event convened partners from global geospatial markets. CEO George Zhao framed CHCNAV growth around core technology and integrated workflows. The roadmap reinforces CHCNAV positioning across precision mapping, positioning and machine-control markets.
Source - 2026-01-01 - Product Launch - CHC Navigation launches APACHE 4 PRO survey USV
The USV supports hydrographic and bathymetric survey missions with multiple payload options. Features include automated route planning, obstacle alerts and dual-GNSS positioning. The product gives CHC Navigation a concrete offering for maritime autonomy, underwater robotics or marine inspection workflows.
