Septentrio, part of Hexagon, has launched the mosaic-G5 P8, a multi-frequency GNSS receiver module designed for mission-critical devices, unmanned aerial vehicles, marine vessels and rail applications operating in contested positioning environments. The mosaic-G5 P8 is designed to provide situational awareness in addition to positioning. The module combines interference and spoofing indicators with power and frequency data that can support efforts to identify the location of jammers.
The module measures 23 mm by 16 mm and weighs as little as 2.2 grams. Septentrio said the receiver is built to provide accurate positioning while protecting against GNSS jamming and spoofing through its AIM+ Ultimate interference mitigation technology.
Yasmine Hunter, product manager at Septentrio, said the mosaic-G5 P8 provides “uncompromised GNSS resilience in a secure, ultra-compact, all-in-one design.” The receiver includes an integrity-focused design intended to support truthful positioning and reporting. Septentrio said this allows systems to switch to other sensors during GNSS disruptions in heavily compromised environments. The module also supports secure communication with input and output authentication to help prevent unauthorized access and data interception.
The mosaic-G5 P8 offers a high update rate with low latency for navigation and control in dynamic applications. It is compatible with open-source autopilots including PX4 and ArduPilot, which is intended to simplify drone integration. Septentrio has also made available the mosaic-go G5 P8 evaluation kit for testing and prototyping. The kit includes direct autopilot connections, while the company’s RxTools user interface supports setup and evaluation.
