Lumenier SAM-M10Q GPS Module - NDAA
by Lumenier

The Lumenier SAM-M10Q GPS Module - NDAA is a USA-designed and manufactured multi-constellation GNSS navigation and magnetometer module built to comply with National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) standards for U.S. government, defense, enterprise, and commercial UAV operations. Powered by the u-blox SAM-M10Q GNSS patch antenna engine, it concurrently tracks up to four major satellite constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou) to deliver rapid 3D position locks and high position accuracy in complex flight environments.

Designed for robust power delivery, the module features a wide 5V to 34V (2S to 8S LiPo) input voltage range with integrated reverse polarity protection and ESD-protected 3.3V logic levels. It integrates an onboard STMicroelectronics LIS2MDL digital magnetometer for precise heading orientation and interfaces via a Pixhawk-standard 6-pin JST-GH "Basic GPS" port.

Key Features

• NDAA Compliant & Made in USA: Designed and manufactured in the United States to meet strict NDAA compliance guidelines for defense and enterprise drone builds.

• u-blox SAM-M10Q GNSS Engine: Integrated patch antenna module concurrently tracks GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou for fast satellite lock times.

• Integrated LIS2MDL Magnetometer: Onboard digital compass provides precise heading telemetry via I2C interface (address 0x1E) for flight stack navigation modes.

• Wide Input Voltage Range (5V to 34V): Operates directly on 2S to 8S LiPo power inputs with built-in reverse polarity protection and ESD-protected logic levels.

• Pixhawk Standard Basic GPS Interface: Features an onboard 6-pin JST-GH connector port using standard Pixhawk "Basic GPS" pinouts.

• Versatile Harness Cable Suite: Includes JST-GH 6-pin to GH 6-pin, GH 6-pin to SH 6-pin, and GH 6-pin to open pigtail cables for flexible flight controller integration.
