DJI Matrice 4D and Matrice 4TD: Next-Generation "Drone-in-a-Box" Enterprise Solutions for DJI Dock 3

The DJI Matrice 4D and DJI Matrice 4TD drones represent the evolution of professional platforms designed to operate autonomously with the DJI Dock 3 charging and takeoff station (also compatible for vehicle-mounted installations). Engineered for continuous patrol missions, industrial inspections, topographic surveys, and public safety, they offer up to 54 minutes of flight time (47 minutes in hovering), IP55 protection rating, an extended 10 km operational range, and advanced sensors supported by LiDAR and radar modules for obstacle avoidance.

The Matrice 4D version is optimized for mapping and photogrammetry thanks to its mechanical shutter, while the Matrice 4TD version includes a high-resolution UHR thermal camera and a NIR illuminator for night vision.

Key Features and Technological Innovations

Autonomous Operation and DJI Dock 3 Integration

• Dock 3 & Vehicle-Mounted Integration: Designed to reside and take off autonomously from DJI Dock 3, with support for fixed or vehicle-mounted installations.
• Autonomy and Rapid Charging: Extended flight time of 54 minutes (37% more than previous models) with rapid takeoff and intelligent battery management via DJI FlightHub 2.
• IP55 Resistant Platform: Reinforced structure for operation in extreme environmental conditions with temperatures from -30 °C to +50 °C and wind resistance up to 12 m/s.

DJI Matrice 4D Optical Suite (Mapping & Photogrammetry)

• Wide-Angle 4/3 CMOS Camera (20 MP): Equipped with an integrated mechanical shutter to eliminate rolling shutter during high-speed overflights.
• Medium Tele Camera (48 MP): 1/1.3” CMOS (70 mm equivalent) for detailed medium-range inspection.
• Telephoto Lens (48 MP): 1/1.5” CMOS (168 mm equivalent) with extended Hybrid Zoom for long-range vision.
• Laser Rangefinder (LRF): Range up to 1800 meters for instant detection of target coordinates.

DJI Matrice 4TD Multi-Sensor Suite (Thermal & Night Vision)

• UHR Radiometric Thermal Camera (up to 1280 × 1024 @ 30 fps): Precision detection for thermal anomalies, leakages, and heat signatures.
• Integrated NIR Auxiliary Light: Infrared illumination with a range of up to 100 meters for total darkness environments.
• Triple RGB Camera + LRF: 48 MP Wide (1/1.3” CMOS f/1.7), 48 MP Medium Tele, 48 MP Telephoto, and Laser Rangefinder up to 1800 m.

Obstacle Avoidance with LiDAR and Millimeter-Wave Radar

• Advanced Detection: Combination of visual sensors, LiDAR, and radar for precise avoidance of complex obstacles, including cables and power lines up to 12 mm thick at high speeds.
• Transmission & FTS Module: O4 Enterprise transmission system with optional 4G Dongle and provision for a Flight Termination System (FTS) for compliance with EASA C6 / SORA regulations.
