Ready in seconds
for a rapid response
Ahead of
the ground crews
The drone launches as soon as the cover opens and flies to the scene at up to 21 m/s, arriving before the ground crews and instantly streaming live video.
Instant launch
Once the command is issued, the drone takes off instantly, with no pilot on site: night-time and holiday emergencies get a response in seconds.
Rapid arrival at 21 m/s
At top speed the drone reaches the scene regardless of traffic, saving precious time when it matters most.
Automatic battery swap
in 25 seconds
For continuous activities such as emergency response, the dock completes a fully automatic battery swap in about 25 seconds, cutting the wait between flights from a 30-minute recharge to a few seconds.
Battery swap
The automatic swap takes about 25 seconds; the previous flight's data is transferred during the exchange.
Extended flight time
A single flight lasts up to 59 minutes, covering a wider area with one take-off.
Wide operating range
The dock pre-heats the batteries in the cold and uses air conditioning in the heat, operating reliably.
Relay missions
Two drones in the same project alternate automatically — one flying, the other on standby — for uninterrupted coverage.
Remote,
yet precise
With low-latency transmission and high-speed data transfer, whoever coordinates operations accesses the scene in real time and decides remotely.
Low-latency live view
A dedicated video-transmission topology cuts drone-to-cloud latency to about 160 ms, ~43% less than the previous generation.
Anti-interference transmission
Dual 4G modules, sub-2G transmission and an elevated O4 Ground Station ensure signal stability even in obstructed environments.
Fast data transfer
During the battery swap the drone sends flight data to the dock over a dedicated high-speed Wi-Fi channel, averaging around 80 MB/s.
Multi-sensor integration
for greater versatility

Robust protection
for reliable flight
Obstacle sensing
down to powerline level
Three-directional mmWave radar, a rotating LiDAR and six-directional visual sensing work together for precise obstacle sensing — even in a live substation or near crossing lines, at night.
Wire-level sensing
A rotating LiDAR, mmWave radar and full-colour low-light fisheye sensors detect thin obstacles, including powerlines, even at night.
Full-colour six-directional sensing
Six high-resolution low-light fisheye sensors keep obstacle sensing active at 360°, even under city lights at night.
Deploys where
others can't
Powered by Matrice 5TD's LiDAR and visual SLAM, anti-interference and anti-spoofing algorithms, and DJI O4 Ground Station, DJI Dock 4 can be deployed next to tall buildings or on a vehicle-mounted mobile platform (coming soon).
Near high-rise buildings
Installing the O4 Ground Station on rooftops improves signal quality, letting Dock 4 sit next to skyscrapers or along substation walls.
On vehicles (coming soon)
The drone takes off while the vehicle is parked and lands at the next stop after the vehicle reaches a new location.
Multi-station roaming
The O4 Ground Station supports multi-station roaming: the drone switches channel seamlessly across zones covered by different ground stations, closing signal gaps.
Ready for
the unexpected
From multi-drone sensing and warning to emergency landing, Matrice 5TD is ready to handle the unexpected and protect people and equipment on the ground.

AI-powered workflow
for intelligent operations
17 object types,
in real time
The onboard AI on Matrice 5TD detects 17 object types in real time, while the Virtual Cockpit lets you search almost any object via text or image.
Onboard smart detection
Matrice 5TD runs real-time AI detection on the live feed, covering 17 object types, plus infrared hotspot detection and support for third-party AI models.
Generalised detection
In the Virtual Cockpit, object searches work via text or image: a multimodal model interprets prompts, detects objects and triggers alerts to improve situational awareness.
The loop closes
by itself
Once an anomaly is detected, the system sends SMS, email or platform alerts and triggers snapshots, recording, tracking or hovering, completing the cycle from detection to response.
FlightHub 2 Copilot
From drone control to flight commands, routes and scheduled tasks: just describe it in natural language and Copilot turns it into drone commands.
Automated workflows
Triggered workflows dispatch drones in response to third-party alerts such as DFR calls. Periodic workflows automatically handle collection, modelling, analysis and reporting.
Reports in
minutes
After each operation, the system uses AI to compare the latest data with historical aerial photos or 3D models, automatically annotates the results and exports a report.
Post-processing detection
Compares historical aerial photos to automatically flag structural damage, ground changes and new unauthorised construction.
Change detection pro
AI compares historical aerial photos, highlights changed areas and generates a change report, compressing hours of work into minutes.
