The ZED-F9P is u-blox's flagship high-precision GNSS module delivering centimeter-level RTK positioning for professional UAV applications. Built on the advanced F9 platform, it features dual-band L1+L2 reception across all four major GNSS constellations, enabling fast RTK convergence and robust ionospheric error correction. The module achieves 0.01m + 1 ppm CEP accuracy in RTK mode — essential for survey-grade mapping drones, precision agriculture sprayers, and any UAV operation requiring absolute spatial accuracy.
One of the ZED-F9P's standout features is Moving Base RTK support, which allows one module to serve as a mobile reference station while another operates as a rover. This capability is invaluable for UAV-based photogrammetry and LiDAR scanning where the base station may need to relocate with the survey team. The module can also operate as a traditional fixed base station broadcasting RTCM 3.3 corrections, or as a rover receiving corrections via UART, SPI, or USB interfaces from an NTRIP caster or local base radio.
At 20 Hz update rate with full RTK accuracy maintained, the ZED-F9P provides smooth trajectory data for dynamic UAV flight paths. This high update rate is complemented by 68 mA tracking current — efficient enough for medium-endurance drone missions. The module's LGA-54 package (17.0 × 22.0 mm) provides ample pin count for all interface options while remaining compact enough for professional autopilot integration. Full support for RTCM 3.3 ensures compatibility with major GNSS correction networks worldwide.
