Info

The SkyHub represents the culmination of years of development in drone-based sensor integration, offering unprecedented connectivity and processing capabilities. With multiple communication ports supporting virtually any sensor type, comprehensive power management, and advanced flight control features, SkyHub has become the industry standard for professional UAV operations.

Data security and confidentiality are paramount in our design. Unlike cloud-dependent systems, SkyHub processes all data onboard and offline, ensuring that sensitive information never leaves your control. This approach provides peace of mind for operations involving proprietary data, environmental assessments, or regulated industries requiring strict data handling protocols.

The system's True Terrain Following and Grasshopper flight modes enable precise operations in challenging environments, while compatibility with major drone platforms ensures seamless integration into existing workflows. Field-tested across diverse conditions worldwide, SkyHub delivers consistent performance for the most demanding professional applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of sensors can be integrated with SkyHub?

SkyHub supports any sensor through its comprehensive connectivity options including Fast Ethernet, RS-232, UART, GPIO, USB, WiFi, and Bluetooth interfaces. Common integrations include GPR systems, magnetometers, methane detectors, echo sounders, metal detectors, gamma radiation counters, and laser altimeters.

How does SkyHub ensure data security and confidentiality?

SkyHub processes all data onboard and offline with no cloud storage or transmission required, ensuring complete data confidentiality. This approach is ideal for sensitive projects, proprietary information, and operations in areas with limited connectivity or strict data handling requirements.

What drone platforms are compatible with SkyHub?

SkyHub integrates seamlessly with professional drone platforms like DJI, Inspired Flight, Wispr, Harris Aerial, and Cube/Pixhawk-based drones with ArduCopter or PX4 firmware. The system uses standard connectors and communication protocols for reliable integration.

What are True Terrain Following and Grasshopper flight modes?

True Terrain Following automatically maintains constant elevation above ground using real-time data from radar or laser altimeters, ideal for geophysical surveys requiring consistent sensor-to-target distance. Grasshopper mode flies between waypoints at safe altitude and descends precisely at survey points, perfect for sensor measurements or payload deployment.

How does SkyHub handle power management for sensors?

SkyHub eliminates the need for separate sensor batteries by providing power through multiple voltage outputs (5V, 12V, and configurable 9-18V) with up to 5A capacity. The system also features software-controlled power switching, allowing sensors to be powered on/off during flight for optimal battery management.
