Small navigation modules, such as the KV102.SMT and KV103.SMT by Kosminis Vytis, are widely used in various applications requiring GNSS positioning, including drone navigation, vehicle tracking, and personal navigation devices. These modules offer several key advantages:

Compact size and lightweight design, making them easy to integrate into portable and handheld devices.
Low power consumption, enabling extended battery life in portable devices.
High sensitivity, providing improved positioning performance even in challenging environments with weak signals.
Multi-constellation support, offering access to more satellites and improves reliability and accuracy of positioning.
Cost-effective solution, providing an affordable alternative to integrated GNSS receivers for specific applications.

These modules typically output GNSS measurements such as time, latitude, longitude, altitude, and velocity, which can then be processed by higher-level software to generate a complete positioning solution.

Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), frequently use navigation modules like the KV102.SMT and KV103.SMT to provide GNSS-based positioning, navigation, and control capabilities. The key benefits of using GNSS modules in drones include:

Improved navigation: The use of GNSS enables drones to accurately determine their position, velocity, and altitude, which is crucial for autonomous flight and navigation.
Increased safety: GNSS modules provide an independent means of determining a drone’s position, which can be used to ensure that the drone stays within designated airspace, avoids obstacles, and returns to its home location in case of a loss of communication with the ground control station.
Enhanced functionality: With GNSS positioning, drones can be programmed to follow specific flight paths, perform waypoint navigation, and execute complex missions with greater accuracy and efficiency.
More precise landing: GNSS modules can also be used to assist with landing the drone, allowing for a more precise and controlled descent.

Overall, the use of GNSS navigation modules in drones greatly enhances their capabilities and provides a more reliable and safe solution for autonomous flight.
