axl Orbit NavIC

The axl Orbit NavIC is a compact, high-precision DroneCAN GNSS module engineered for Indian UAV builders. It natively supports NavIC, India’s sovereign regional navigation satellite system operated by ISRO. Furthermore, this dual-band L1 and L5 receiver tracks GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS satellites simultaneously. Drone operators achieve up to 1-meter positioning accuracy with superior multipath signal rejection. Consequently, your unmanned aerial vehicles navigate safely through complex urban and rural environments.

Key Features

• The axl Orbit NavIC integrates a u-blox NEO-F10N dual-band L1 and L5 GNSS receiver.

• Native NavIC SPS-L5 support provides reliable regional positioning across the Indian subcontinent.

• A Bosch BMM350 3-axis magnetometer delivers accurate fused heading data during flight.

• High navigation update rates reach up to 20 Hz for responsive autonomous control.

• Built-in safety switch and internal buzzer simplify pre-flight checks and status alerts.

• Low 100 mA power consumption preserves battery endurance on weight-sensitive drone builds.

Precision Navigation & Integration

This positioning module combines multi-constellation tracking with effortless flight controller compatibility. In addition, the receiver tracks up to 32 satellites concurrently for uninterrupted signal lock. Standard NMEA and UBX communication protocols integrate directly with popular open-source autopilots. Moreover, UART and I2C interfaces eliminate extra wiring overhead during aircraft assembly. Field engineers also customize the 30 cm connection cable to match custom airframe layouts.

Applications

The axl Orbit NavIC excels in commercial surveying, defense reconnaissance, and precision agriculture drones. For example, geospatial mapping teams capture accurate aerial data using 1.5-meter CEP positioning. Additionally, autonomous delivery drones maintain stable flight paths under challenging signal conditions. Industrial inspection multirotors also rely on its high-altitude rating up to 80,000 meters. Therefore, Indian UAV manufacturers trust this sovereign navigation solution for critical missions.
