DJI Matrice 4TD Thermal drone with thermal camera

DJI Matrice 4D Thermal (4TD) drone with thermal camera

The Matrice 4D series is a dock-ready model, meaning it is compatible with DJI's Dock 3, the third-generation charging and control system. This drone package comes with a DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise controller, so you can fly the drone just like any other DJI drone.

The M4DT is largely identical to the M4T drone. In addition to Dock 3 support, the differences are as follows:

• Construction: The Matrice 4D drone is weatherproof, meaning it is IP rated (IP55) just like the Matrice 30T. It is also quieter and has Anti-Ice propellers.

• Foldable: 4D is a fixed-frame system, meaning the motor arms do not fold into a 'bunch'. Please note that the device does not have landing legs, but it can land on a flat surface. We recommend a landing pad with the 4D.

• Battery and charging: Slightly longer flight time and faster battery charging (240W charger)

• Accessories: Supports Obstacle Sensing Module

• Connection quality: Supports air-to-air communication, where one drone flies high and acts as a link drone/base station, improving the signal in more challenging flying environments.

The DJI Matrice 4D series drones use advanced artificial intelligence for flight control. The aircraft is able to identify different objects and track them independently. The drones are equipped with advanced obstacle and environment recognition based on laser technology.

There are many factors and features to consider when choosing a drone. Like the Matrice 4 Thermal, the M4TD is suitable for a variety of uses. The Matrice 4D is the choice for you if you value weather protection or if you are building a scalable, autonomous drone operation that, together with the Dock 3, enables 24/7 operation.

The Matrice 4TD with thermal imaging camera is suitable for a variety of applications including:

• Rescue operations and other official use
• Research tasks
• Inspection tasks
• Demanding thermal imaging
• Agriculture and forestry

Four cameras

The Matrice 4TD is equipped with a four-camera system with laser rangefinder, which provides exceptional performance. The system consists of a 48-megapixel wide-angle camera, 48-megapixel medium-telephoto and standard-telephoto cameras, and infrared thermal lenses.

In addition to daytime drone operations, the cameras' large apertures, full-color night vision, and obstacle detection capabilities make the Matrice 4TD an ideal solution for low-light and nighttime flying.

The M4DT is equipped with a 612x540 thermal camera that detects heat signatures from -20 to 550 degrees Celsius. An additional NIR light improves the thermal camera's performance when flying in low light and darkness.

Laser rangefinder

The laser rangefinder, familiar from DJI's more robust drones, has now been brought to the Matrice 4/4D series. In good conditions, the measurement range is up to 1.8 kilometers and the rangefinder is an excellent tool for calculating distances between the drone and objects. Distant objects can be measured using the point measurement or line-like drawing tool.

4 smart flight modes

The DJI Matrice 4D's four intelligent flight modes are designed to make flying easier in all conditions.

Cruise mode makes flying longer distances easier. Like cruise control, it allows the drone to fly forward without the pilot having to make any steering movements on the controller.

In Fly To mode, the Matrice 4TD automatically determines a flight path and speed to seek a pre-determined destination.

In Smart Track mode, the drone can be configured to follow a target so that the drone takes care of precise tracking and automatic zooming. With artificial intelligence-assisted tracking, tracking of the target can be resumed even if it briefly disappears from view, e.g. into vegetation.

In POI mode, the user can select a point of interest around which the Matrice 4T will fly. The drone can optionally generate a 3D model of the object's surroundings while observing it.

A new level of twilight flying

In search and rescue missions, you can't choose the time, and the drone must be able to fly at all times of the day. That's why the Matrice 4 series has a dedicated Night Scene mode, where the camera with an IR Cut filter offers full-color night vision in three modes and two levels of noise reduction.

The Matrice 4D Thermal takes the view even further with its infrared camera and NIR assist light.

During dark flight, the drone's six sensors enable, among other things, automatic obstacle avoidance, intelligent rerouting, and safe return home.

Built-in RTK module

The RTK module provides centimeter-accurate positioning information from your drone when needed, allowing you to operate safely in areas where GNSS signals are otherwise weak. The integrated RTK module supports the extended L5 frequency band, which works with GNSS and DJI's Vision Fusion positioning and navigation system.

Secure data transfer

DJI Enterprise series drones feature Local Data Mode, where collected data can be cleared with the press of a button. Data encryption during transmission is provided using AES-256 video transmission encryption and Cloud API.

RC Plus 2 Enterprise Controller

The DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise controller is equipped with a bright display that ensures clear visibility even in strong sunlight. The controller has an IP54 rating and operates in temperatures from -20 to 50 degrees Celsius. The controller operates with the new O4 transmission protocol. The controller now also has programmable keys. The controller supports SDR and 4G hybrid transmission.

Long flight time and distance

DJI's new O4 transmission protocol enables the Matrice 4TD to fly over 15 kilometers. However, as a pilot and operator, please note the Finnish drone legislation regarding VLOS (visual line of sight) and BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) flight rules.
