The SkyHub Software Package for MBES by SPH Engineering is the dedicated software add-on that integrates multibeam echosounder (MBES) systems with the SkyHub onboard computer. Combining SkyHub firmware with a companion UgCS application, it enables automated multibeam data acquisition, real-time depth monitoring, and georeferenced data logging — delivering the full software stack required to operate the EchoNIMBUS-MBES system and generate survey-grade bathymetric point clouds from a UAV platform.Key Features MBES Sensor Integration — Full hardware integration between the multibeam echosounder and SkyHub onboard computer via dedicated firmware; manages sensor initialization, configuration, and data stream handling Automated Georeferenced Data Acquisition — Continuous, timestamped MBES data capture synchronized with UAV position and telemetry for georeferenced bathymetric profiles ready for post-processing Real-Time Depth Monitoring — Live depth data streamed to the UgCS companion application on the ground station during flight for immediate quality control and coverage verification UgCS Companion Application — Integrated UgCS plugin for MBES sensor control, mission-triggered acquisition, and real-time data display throughout the survey SkyHub Firmware Included — Package includes the required SkyHub onboard firmware update for MBES system support Point Cloud Output — Processed data supports dense 3D bathymetric point cloud generation for bottom modeling, volume calculations, and GIS deliverables Compatible Hardware SPH Engineering EchoNIMBUS-MBES system (Cerulean Surveyor 240/16 MBES sensor head) SPH Engineering SkyHub onboard computer (required) Compatible UAV platforms: DJI M350 RTK, M300 RTK, and Pixhawk/ArduCopter-based UAVs of comparable payload class Applications High-resolution bathymetric surveys of lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and shallow coastal waters Dense 3D bottom modeling for sediment, slope, and obstacle mapping Flood mapping and post-event hydrological assessment Environmental and hydro-engineering surveys Infrastructure monitoring beneath water surfaces Requirements SPH Engineering SkyHub onboard computer hardware (required) SkyHub Core Software Package (required) UgCS ground control software license (required) Compatible MBES hardware — EchoNIMBUS-MBES system (sold separately)
