UgCS Drone Sensor Systems
JB Unmanned Aerial Systems (JBUAS) is a trading name of JBPRM Ltd. As an official SPH Engineering/UgCS drone systems reseller or agent in the UK, we are able to provide integrated aerial systems on behalf of SPH Engineering. These systems were previously called UgCS Drone Integrated Systems.
Integrated Systems is one of SPH Engineering’s product lines that involves an integration between a drone, various sensors, and UgCS software.
Integrated Systems (UgCS Drone) are integrated UAV kits from SPH Engineering. Each UgCS Drone kit comprises a sensor, UgCS software, the UgCS SkyHub onboard computer, and the UgCS True Terrain Following (TTF) radar.
Working across multiple sectors including Construction, Power, Oil & Gas, and the Public Services amongst many others, we work closely with our industry partners to deliver integrated sensor systems including Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Echosounders, Sonar, Magnetometers, Metal Detectors, Conductivity Sensors, Methane Detectors. Other sensors can be integrated on request.
UgCS Done Integrated Systems Philosophy
All SPH Engineering (UgCS Drone) Integrated Systems are built around a central philosophy – sensor interchangeability.
Building a sensor system around core equipment means different geotechnical sensors can be added quickly and easily as and when required to suit a particular project need. To this end, SPH Engineering’s sensor systems centre around an onboard computer called SkyHub that makes changing sensors simple.
SkyHub consists of both a hardware and software set designed to:
- Implement custom flight control algorithms.
- Boost UAV capabilities to conduct commercial surveys and inspection properly.
- Collect and store data acquired by an onboard sensor.
- Enable the download of stored data in various formats for analysis

Delivering Value for Money and an Outstanding Service
“We have bought several systems from JBUAS and the ongoing service we continue to receive is simply outstanding. Whenever we have needed support, they have been there like an extension of our business, to provide technical advice and support in a timely manner”
Managing Director
Leading Drone Survey Company
“JBUAS recently set us up with a successful trial of the UgCS TTF system and a geophysical payload. This included a generous package of training and documentation, both in the hardware setup and familiarisation with all the software. We were impressed by the performance of the integrated system, and moreover by the level of support offered by JBUAS throughout the project. Through JBUAS we have now acquired a tailored package hardware and software including the TTF system, and are looking forward to taking to the skies with it again soon”.
