SPH Engineering SkyHub Onboard Computer
SkyHub is the onboard computer at the heart of every SPH Engineering integrated system. It logs geotagged data from sensors such as ground penetrating radar, magnetometers, echo sounders, methane detectors and altimeters, synchronising each reading with the drone’s position. Combined with UgCS mission planning, SkyHub turns a standard enterprise drone into a fully automated geophysical survey platform.
How to Install the UgCS SkyHub
One hub for every sensor
SkyHub is the common link across the SPH range — GPR, magnetometer, echo sounder, methane detector and hydrometric sensors all connect to it for georeferenced data logging. It records each measurement against precise RTK position so the survey data is ready for processing in GeoHammer Pro, DroneGIS and standard geophysical software.
Automated flight with True Terrain Following
Working with UgCS, SkyHub enables True Terrain Following (TTF) so the drone holds a constant, low height above uneven ground — essential for magnetometer and GPR surveys that must be flown as low as possible. It ships with mountings and cables for the DJI M300/M350 RTK, with kits for other drones available on request.
Service & Warranty
Supplied by GulfNet Emirates Drone & Robotic Systems with UAE-based technical support, integration guidance and full manufacturer warranty. SkyHub is sold as part of a complete sensor/kit solution rather than on its own — request a quote and our team will configure SkyHub with the sensors and software you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does SkyHub do?
It is an onboard computer that logs geotagged data from UAV-mounted sensors — GPR, magnetometer, echo sounder, methane detector, altimeter and more — and synchronises each reading with the drone’s RTK position for processing.
Can I buy SkyHub on its own?
SkyHub is only useful when combined with sensors, kits and software, so it is sold as part of a solution rather than standalone. Request a quote and we will configure it with the sensors you need.
Which drones does it fit?
It ships with mountings and cables for the DJI M300/M350 RTK. Mounts and cables for other drone types are available on request.
What is True Terrain Following?
With UgCS, SkyHub enables TTF, which keeps the drone at a constant low height above uneven terrain — important for low-altitude magnetometer and GPR surveys.
What software is required?
SkyHub works with UgCS for mission planning and the relevant sensor software/firmware package; survey data is processed in GeoHammer Pro, DroneGIS or third-party tools.
