C-RTK 2 GNSS Module: Genuine CUAV Hardware for RTK & PPK Surveying

This is a genuine CUAV module, clearly labeled “C-RTK 2” on the housing. At its core is a 184-channel u-blox ZED-F9P receiver delivering roughly 0.01m + 1ppm horizontal RTK accuracy with convergence in under 10 seconds — and unlike CUAV’s C-RTK 9Ps built earlier this session, this module also fully supports PPK (post-processed kinematic) workflows, logging raw GNSS data to onboard TF card storage for later correction. CUAV has stated this was the first PPK/RTK module in its lineup to add UAVCAN/DroneCAN support, connecting to a compatible flight controller over CAN or UART — and it’s plug-and-play with CUAV’s own X7-series autopilots.

For aerial survey and mapping work specifically, dedicated hot-shoe and shutter-trigger interfaces let it timestamp-tag captured images directly, and CUAV states that using C-RTK 2 for mapping can reduce the number of ground control points needed by more than 80% — commonly just 1-2 control points per square kilometer — with control-point-free mapping achievable when paired with a professional mapping camera. Onboard industrial-grade sensors (ICM-20689 IMU, RM3100 compass, ICP10111 barometer) round out a package built specifically for precision positioning, not just general flight control.
