CHCNAV Has Landed in the U.S.

After months in the making, Maverick Drone Systems is proud to officially launch our partnership with CHCNAV—bringing their full lineup of aerial, terrestrial, and marine solutions to the U.S. market.

We are the first U.S. dealer to offer the CHCNAV X500, a powerful enterprise drone platform engineered for high-precision work in surveying, mapping, inspections, and more. Built for performance and flexibility, the X500 supports professional-grade payloads like the AA450 LiDAR, the P1 full-frame photogrammetry camera, thermal and multispectral sensors, and dual gimbal configurations for multi-sensor missions.

This partnership has been built on trust, in-person collaboration, and a shared commitment to innovation. We’ve met with the CHCNAV team multiple times, both in China and the U.S., to fully understand their brand, meet their leadership, and align on a shared vision. We’ve learned their values, seen how they operate, and come to a mutual agreement on how to best introduce this technology to a U.S. market already shaken by trade uncertainties and the constant back-and-forth surrounding Chinese-manufactured drones.

With over 10 years in the drone industry, Adam has seen every manufacturer shake-up, market shift, and regulatory challenge—and has developed a keen sense of how to navigate what’s coming next. That foresight is exactly why CHCNAV chose to partner with us.

We shared laughs. We learned from each other’s cultures. We built trust and found alignment in our business styles and mission. And now, it’s time to put it all in motion.

They believe in us, and we believe in them.

This is not just another product push. CHCNAV waited for the right moment—post-COVID Pandemic, after years of development and success in over 130 countries—to bring their proven solutions to America. They listened to the market, adapted, and brought us in as partners to help make it work here.

We now carry the complete CHCNAV ecosystem:

• Aerial drone platforms
• GNSS and RTK systems
• Mobile mapping
• Autonomous survey boats
• Machine control and precision ag solutions

Founded in 2003, CHCNAV has over 1,900 employees and generated CNY 1.48 billion in revenue in the first half of 2024 alone—a 23% year-over-year increase. More than 16% of that is reinvested into R&D. Their global RTK/CORS network includes more than 4,000 stations delivering centimeter-level accuracy across 30+ countries. This is tested, trusted, and constantly reinvented technology.

We’re launching this partnership with the same approach we bring to everything we do—boots on the ground, hands on the controls, and stories told through the lens of real-world use.

If you’d like to see the X500 or any CHCNAV solution in person, contact us to schedule a visit. We’ll walk you through what it does, how it works, and why it matters.
