Long-Endurance Drone Platform With Power-Line-Level Obstacle Sensing

DJI Matrice 400

Engineered for Excellence, Designed for Versatility

DJI Matrice 400, the enterprise flagship drone platform, boasts an impressive 59-minute flight time [1], a payload capacity of up to 6 kg [2], and integrated rotating LiDAR and mmWave radar for power-line-level obstacle sensing [3]. It also supports the O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission and Airborne Relay Video Transmission [4], ensuring safer handling and easier operations. Combining Smart Detection with visible and thermal imaging, AR projection, ship-based takeoff/landing, and advanced automation, Matrice 400 excels in emergency response, power inspections, mapping, and AEC.

Extended Flight Time, High Speed Performance

Matrice 400's flight capabilities are outstanding, offering up to 59 minutes of forward flight time even with a payload, and up to 53 minutes of hovering duration [6]. These capabilities make it a reliable tool for long-duration and continuous operations such as search and rescue, firefighting, and large-scale mapping. It can also avoid large obstacles [3] like buildings and mountains at flight speeds of up to 25 m/s.

Fly Longer - 59 min forward flight / 53 min hover

Keeps wildfire overwatch, wide-area SAR, and long-corridor mapping missions on a single battery set.

Arrive faster - 55 mph max cruise

Slashes transit legs while the obstacle-sensing array actively scans for buildings, towers, and terrain.

Multi-Payload, Multi-Scene

Matrice 400’s strong payload capacity allows it to easily meet the demands of a wide range of applications. With a maximum payload capacity of 6 kg [2], Matrice 400 supports seamless switching between a single downward gimbal [8] and a dual downward gimbal [8]. It also features a third gimbal connector on the underside for additional flexibility. The aircraft is equipped with 4 external E-Port V2 ports [7], enabling simultaneous mounting of up to 7 payloads.

Depending on the task, Matrice 400 can be equipped with the Zenmuse H30 Series, L2, P1, S1 Spotlight, V1 Speaker, Manifold 3, or third-party payloads, thereby expanding its capabilities and unlocking the full potential of the DJI ecosystem.

Safe and Reliable Flight

Built for Challenging Conditions

Matrice 400 has a protection rating of IP55 [9], allowing it to operate reliably in challenging conditions including heavy dust or rain. It also maintains stable performance across temperatures from -20° to 50° C (-4° to 122° F), delivering consistent results in both hot and cold conditions.

Power-Line-Level Obstacle Sensing [3]

The Matrice 400's advanced obstacle sensing system integrates rotating LiDAR, high-precision mmWave radar, and full-color low-light fisheye vision sensors [13], pushing detection capabilities to unprecedented levels. 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.

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.

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.

Easier Automated Operations

When equipped with the L2 LiDAR system, Matrice 400 can perform automated power transmission and distribution line following flights. It uses the rotating LiDAR to detect obstacles in real time and automatically bypasses crossing lines.

Matrice 400 supports the planning and execution of slope and geometric routes via DJI Pilot 2 or DJI FlightHub 2. Whether conducting detailed aerial surveys of building facades, slopes, or other inclined surfaces, or collecting mapping data of individual buildings or structures, Matrice 400 can quickly plan slope or geometric routes to efficiently acquire high-precision data.
