The system detects even small obstacles like high-voltage power lines across mountainous terrain — even in darkness [3]. It can penetrate rain and fog to sense its surroundings, providing enhanced safety in challenging weather conditions.
Robust Video Transmission
O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission System
Thanks to the ten-antenna system on the aircraft and the high-gain phased array antenna system on the remote controller, the O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission System can achieve image transmission up to 40 km [10].
Matrice 400 also supports the sub2G frequency band [5], and when equipped with two DJI Cellular Dongle 2 [11], it can automatically switch to the better available carrier network, providing a more stable signal even in urban interference environments or remote regions.
Airborne Relay Video Transmission [5]
Matrice 400 has a built-in video transmission relay module. With this setup, one Matrice 400 can serve as a relay drone, flying high to provide relay signals for another Matrice 400 operating at a greater distance. This capability significantly extends the transmission range, making it ideal for search and rescue tasks as well as inspections in mountainous areas.
Aircraft Fusion Positioning
The omnidirectional sensing performance [12] brought by rotating LiDAR, high-precision mmWave radar, and full-color low-light fisheye vision sensors provides Matrice 400 with strong positioning capabilities. It can fly stably close to glass-facade buildings or wind turbine blades and safely return from building edges, mountain bases, or bridge sides even when the return point has not been updated.
Full-Color Vision Assist
The four full-color low-light fisheye vision sensors on the aircraft provide Full-Color Vision Assist [13] to ensure safer flight.
Enhanced Intelligence and Efficiency
Smart Detection [14]
With Zenmuse H30 Series' visible and thermal imaging, Matrice 400 can detect vehicles, vessels, and subjects during search and rescue operations or routine flights. It also supports switching to other models, enabling the expansion of application scenarios. Additionally, it supports high-res grid photos and features powerful tracking capabilities.
Smart AR Projection
Power Line AR
During tasks such as power grid inspection, the obstacle sensing system automatically detects frontal wire obstacles [3] and displays easily recognizable AR lines on the remote controller’s screen, making the surrounding environment clear at a glance and ensuring safer flight.
Map View AR
When operating during the day or night in urban regions, the remote controller can display the names of buildings and landmarks in real-time, marking core roads with prominent lines.
AR Flight Waypoint
Real-time route preview is available for the drone during RTH, obstacle sensing, and FlyTo operations. During landing, the AR Aircraft Shadow can be displayed to help operators confirm the landing location.
Live Annotations
Without modeling, you can mark points on the remote controller screen to obtain subject locations, draw lines to measure distances between multiple points, and outline areas to calculate their size. Measurement results can be synchronized to the DJI FlightHub 2 to enhance team efficiency.
Real-Time Terrain Follow
Matrice 400 supports Real-Time Terrain Follow flight in any horizontal direction [15]. This feature can be enabled during both manual flight and automated flight routes, ensuring stable relative height to the ground.
During large-scale search and rescue operations, the size of ground subjects can be kept consistent on the remote controller screen, reducing the need for frequent zoom adjustments and improving efficiency. During mapping missions, a consistent ground sampling distance (GSD) can be maintained to obtain high-precision mapping data.
Takeoff and Landing on Ships [16]
To address the needs of offshore operations such as maritime patrol and wind turbine inspection, Matrice 400 is equipped with the capability to take off from and land on ships, supporting takeoff from stationary vessels and landing on moving vessels. By detecting landing point patterns on the deck, it can achieve safe and precise landings.
Intelligent Flight Modes
Cruise
Activate cruise control mode to pilot the drone in a specific direction without constantly pressing the control sticks, making long-distance flights or linear inspections easier.
FlyTo
In emergencies or disasters, the drone can automatically adjust its flight path and speed based on the surrounding environment, allowing it to reach a designated location without manual adjustments.
Smart Track
Smart Track allows for precise subject positioning and automatic zoom adjustments, allowing you to switch between subjects easily. It can automatically reacquire a subject even if obscured briefly.
POI
