Description
ARK Electronics ARK G5 P8 RTK GPS – DroneCAN RTK GNSS module with Septentrio mosaic-G5 P8
The ARK G5 P8 RTK GPS is a USA-built, NDAA-compliant DroneCAN module that combines a quad-band RTK GNSS receiver, magnetometer, barometer, IMU and buzzer on one compact board. At its core is the Septentrio mosaic-G5 P8, which tracks all available GNSS signals across multiple constellations and frequencies and delivers centimeter-level positioning via RTK as well as Galileo HAS corrections.
The module can be operated with either one or two antennas. In dual-antenna mode it also provides the vehicle's heading – without relying on a magnetometer. AIM+ Ultimate technology provides the strongest protection against GNSS jamming and spoofing, while end-to-end authentication ensures secure operations. It connects to Pixhawk flight controllers via DroneCAN, and firmware updates can be performed directly over DroneCAN.
