Safe – Stable – Reliable

Ready for Harsh Environments

The Matrice 400 features IP55-rated dust and rain resistance, operating reliably in temperatures from -20°C to 50°C, making it suitable for hot, humid, icy, or dusty environments.

High-Voltage Power Line–Grade Obstacle Avoidance

Integrated sensors include:

• Rotating LiDAR

• mmWave radar

• Low-light color fisheye cameras

These enable detection of even extremely small obstacles such as power lines in complex terrain, mountainous environments, rain, fog, or low-light conditions—making it exceptionally reliable for power grid inspection, substation checks, and large-scale infrastructure tasks.

Stable Long-Range Video Transmission

The O4 Enterprise transmission system provides:

• High-resolution video streaming

• Multi-antenna support on both the aircraft and remote controller

• Strong stability even in high-interference environments

The aircraft supports Sub-2G frequency bands and can automatically switch carriers when using a USB Cellular Dongle, ensuring stable connectivity in both urban and remote regions.

Aerial Relay Transmission

One Matrice 400 can hover at altitude as a relay node, extending video transmission range for another Matrice 400 operating farther away. This is extremely useful for:

• Mountainous search and rescue

• Wide-area scanning

• Operations in rugged terrain

Unified Positioning and Navigation

Multiple sensors work together to enable stable flight close to surfaces such as wind turbines and high-rise glass façades.

Enhanced Environmental Awareness

Multi-directional sensing provides clearer situational awareness, especially in low-light environments.

Smarter & More Efficient

Smart Detection

By combining thermal and visual imaging, the system can detect people, vehicles, vessels, and other objects during search or surveillance missions. It also supports high-resolution grid photography and intelligent tracking.

Smart AR Projection

Power Line AR

During power grid inspections, the obstacle sensing system automatically detects frontal wires and displays easily recognizable AR lines on the remote controller screen, giving operators instant environmental clarity and ensuring safer flight.

Map View AR

During day or night operations in urban environments, the controller can display real-time building names, landmarks, and highlight major roads for intuitive navigation.

AR Flight Waypoint

The aircraft provides real-time route previews during RTH, obstacle avoidance, and FlyTo operations. When landing, AR Aircraft Shadow assists pilots in confirming precise touchdown points.

Live Annotations

Without 3D modeling, operators can mark points to determine target locations, draw lines to measure distances between multiple points, and outline polygons to calculate area.
All measurements can sync directly with DJI FlightHub 2, improving team workflow and coordination.

Real-Time Terrain Follow

The drone automatically adjusts altitude based on terrain during both manual and automated flight, maintaining consistent ground distance—critical for:

• Wide-area search and rescue

• Mapping missions requiring uniform GSD

• Infrastructure inspection in complex terrain

Ship Takeoff & Landing

The Matrice 400 can:

• Take off from stationary vessels

• Land on moving ship decks

• Recognize and lock onto landing zones using deck features

Ideal for maritime surveillance, offshore turbine inspection, and coastal security.

Intelligent Flight Modes

Cruise

Enables stable forward flight without continuously pushing the control sticks. Ideal for:

• Long-distance missions

• Linear inspections

• Power lines, pipelines, or canal surveying

The pilot only makes minor adjustments for heading or speed.

FlyTo

In emergencies or hazardous environments, the Matrice 400 automatically adjusts:

• Flight direction

• Speed

• Path

to reach a designated point safely with minimal manual input—especially effective in complex terrain.

Smart Track

Smart Track allows the drone to:

• Automatically detect and follow subjects

• Adjust zoom dynamically

• Maintain clear visuals during tracking

It can re-identify targets even when temporarily obstructed—ideal for:

• Security missions

• Ground activity monitoring

• Search and rescue

POI (Point of Interest)

POI mode allows the drone to orbit a selected point or area while keeping the camera fixed on the target. Useful for:

• Detailed structural observation

• Architectural or construction filming

• 3D modeling around buildings or objects

Mission Automation Made Easier

Power Line Follow – When Paired with Zenmuse L3/L2

With Zenmuse L3 or L2:

• The drone can automatically fly along power lines

• Rotating LiDAR continuously scans the environment

• The aircraft autonomously avoids crossing lines or obstacles

Perfect for:

• Distribution line inspection

• Corridor safety assessment

• Reducing pilot workload during long linear missions

Slope Route & Geometric Route

The Matrice 400 supports 3D or slope-based route planning via DJI Pilot 2 or DJI FlightHub 2. Operators can:

• Scan vertical building façades

• Survey cliffs, steep terrain, or sloped land

• Collect site-specific mapping data

• Generate high-accuracy 3D models

Simply define the surface, and the aircraft automatically creates and executes an optimal route for the highest data quality in the shortest time.
