The Pilot Control Unit (PCU)
The PCU System is a wireless control and communication system designed to provide the pilot with remote control & monitoring of various equipment that is otherwise external to the aircraft.
It comprises two units, Unit 1 is a handheld, battery operated device that provides command and monitoring through a RF command link. Whereas Unit 2 is mounted to the aircraft’s external equipment. It therefore decodes and executes the message from the command link & in turn provide status report via a RF response link to unit 1.

The PCU is designed with the following specification:
- User-friendly to allow the pilot/operator to easily monitor and take the necessary course of action from the cockpit of the aircraft.
- Having a quick low frequency communication update rate between Unit 1 & Unit 2 such that the pilot can take quick action when required.
- To make provision for the following low-level interfaces via a
mil-spec circular connector:
- Standard RS232
- SPI
- I2C
- Electromechanical switching with 2 feed and 2 return lines
- Battery compartment with ease of access.
- Mil-spec LED indicators and switches for control & monitoring
- RF antenna bracket to keep it in place during flight
- Adjustable RF output power ranging from 21dBm to 30 dBm

SDR Based Interception System
The SDR-based Interception System (SBIS) is drone-mounted payload used to intercept target transmissions from a height advantage. This system comprise the hardware that communicates with a ground station laptop over a Wi-Fi link. The ground station laptop runs a SDR application software that controls the SDR as well monitor signals as and when intercepted.

Data Logger
The Data Logger Unit runs from a standard +9V battery which makes it flexible for any remote data recording application.
Sovereignty Systems can adapt the Data Logger Unit firmware to record different parameters according to customer requirements.
The standard Data Logger Unit records the following time-stamped data on a FAT32 Micro SD Card for post-processing on a PC/Laptop:
- Temperature (1x Internal, 3x External).
- Airflow.
- Acceleration Data (4x 3-axis Accelerometers).
All sampled data is stored every 4ms (250 samples in a second).
The battery voltage (+9V) is constantly monitored, and the SD Card will be closed & unmounted, and the device halted if the battery level falls below +6.4V.
A logfile is created and it is given a filename with the current date e.g. SEPT5_23.TXT.
Data is appended to the file when the recording is stopped in between on the same day.
Two external signals (Power On/Off & Record On/Off) control the Data Logger Unit Power and Modes.
The SD Card is automatically Mounted and Unmounted by the software based on the Record On/Off switch input i.e. “On” causes Mount and “Off” causes Unmount.
The SD Card is removed, inserted into a PC/Laptop with a Card Slot and the data plotted using Analysis Software.
The Analysis Software was developed as a Python script to allow the user to run it on any Operating System platform i.e. Windows or Linux.
Due to the limitations of the FAT32 file system, the logfile size cannot exceed 4GB.
