DJI Dock 4

DJI’s First Dock With Battery Swapping

DJI Dock 4

Always There, Always Ready

DJI Dock 4 swaps batteries in 25 seconds for 24/7 automatic operations, urgent or continuous. Its DJI Matrice 5TD features wide-angle and infrared cameras, mmWave radar, LiDAR, and AI that detects 17 object types. The DJI O4 Ground Station unlocks complex sites, while the AI-powered workflow from DJI FlightHub 2 streamlines every operation.

Ready in Seconds for Rapid Response

 

Airborne on Alert, Ahead of Ground Crews

The drone launches as soon as the cover opens, flying to the scene at up to 21 m/s to arrive ahead of ground crews and instantly stream the live video.

Instant Launch

Once a command is issued, the drone launches instantly with no pilot on site needed. Nighttime and holiday emergencies get a response in seconds.

 

21m/s Rapid Arrival

At a top speed of 21 m/s, the drone flies directly to the scene regardless of traffic conditions, saving critical time when it matters most.

 

 

Swap, Relay, Sustain

For continuous tasks like emergency response, the dock completes a fully automatic battery swap in just 25 seconds, cutting the turnaround between flights from a 30-minute recharge to just seconds.

25-Second Battery Swap

Fully automatic battery swapping takes just 25 seconds. The previous flight’s data transfers automatically during the swap.

 

 

Extended Endurance

A single flight lasts up to 59 minutes, covering more area in one takeoff.

 

Wide Operating Temperature Range

Operating reliably from -40° to 50° C (-40° to 122° F), the dock auto-preheats the batteries in the cold and uses air conditioning in high temperatures.

 

Task Relay

Any two aircraft in a project can auto rotate across points, with one flying and the other on standby for uninterrupted situational awareness during emergency responses.

 

Live From the Scene, Remote Yet Accurate

With low-latency livestreams and high-speed data transfer, remote commanders can access the scene in real time and make decisions from off-site.

Low-Latency Livestream

A dedicated video transmission topology cuts drone-to-cloud latency about 160ms, down about 43% from the previous generation, for a smoother live view.

 

Anti-Interference Transmission

Dual 4G modules, sub2G transmission and O4 Ground Station deployed at an elevated position deliver stability in obstructed environments.

 

 

Fast Data Transfer

During battery swap, the drone sends flight data to the dock over a high-speed Wi-Fi Channel and average speeds of 80MB/s.

 

Multi-Sensor Integration for Greater Versatility

Near and Far, Day and Night

Matrice 5TD combines telephoto imaging, infrared imaging, laser ranging, and full-color night vision while delivering aerial survey accuracy up to 10 cm at 12MP. Daytime checks, nighttime security, and surveying are all handled by one drone, with no airframe swaps between scenarios, boosting equipment ROI by 50%.

 

11x Telephoto

With a 252 mm equivalent focal length, it captures detail from signs 400 m away and spots bolt-and-pin-level defects at 100 m for power line inspections.

 

Infrared Camera

Resolution reaches 1280 x 1024, or 2560 x 2048 in UHR mode, revealing overheating and damaged insulators, with 2K recording and 32x zoom for night subjects.

 

Fusion Mode

Visible light and infrared feeds fuse into one frame, with edge or overlay fusion modes, showing structure outlines and heat distribution without switching feeds.

 

Sharper Night Performance

Full-color 4K high-frame-rate night vision capture color images at night without witching the spotlight. The camera also pairs with NIR auxiliary light for black-and-white night vision.

 

3km Laser Ranging

Overlays range data and PinPoint coordinates on the fee for powerline inspections, rescue operations, or wildfire estimates.

 

More Payloads, More Flexibility

Matrice 5TD carries up to 450 g of payload, with side PSDK mounts and a top mount that can be used simultaneously. Mix and match accessories to suit the task.

 

Speaker/Spotlight/Parachute Combo

Mount a speaker, spotlight, and parachute together to provide aerial voice guidance and layered lighting during nighttime search operations, keeping ground crews safe.

 

Built-In Customizable Warning Light

A built-in Customizable Warning Light supports custom colors and flash patterns, requiring no additional installation.

 

Robust Protection for Reliable Flight

Safe Flight, Even in Complex Environments

With three-directional mmWave radar, a rotating LiDAR, and a six-directional vision sensing system working together, Matrice 5TD achieves precise obstacle sensing, even inside a substation packed with live equipment or around crossing distribution lines.

Wire-Level Obstacle Sensing

Combining a rotating LiDAR, mmWave radar, and full-color low-light fisheye sensors, this system detects thin obstacles, including powerlines, even at night.

 

Full-Color Six-Directional Sensing

Six-directional sensing works with six high-res low-light fisheye sensors to maintain obstacle sensing even under city lights at night.

 

Flexible Deployment for Complex Sites

Powered by Matrice 5TD’s LiDAR and visual SLAM, anti-interference and anti-spoofing algorithms, plus the DJI O4 Ground Station, DJI Dock 4 can be deployed alongside high-rises or on a mobile vehicle-mounted platform (coming soon).

Near High-Rise Buildings

Installing O4 Ground Station on rooftops improves signal quality, allowing Dock 4 to be deployed near high-rise buildings or along substation walls.

 

On Vehicles (Coming Soon)

The drone can take off while the vehicle is parked and land at new stop after the vehicle reaches a new location.

Multi-Station Roaming

The O4 Ground Station supports multi-station roaming, enabling the drone to seamlessly switch between multiple ground stations to eliminate coverage blind spots.

 

Safe, Even When the Unexpected Hits

From multi-drone sensing and warning to emergency landing, Matrice 5TD is ready for the unexpected. A parachute cushions descent to protect people and gear on the ground, multi-drone sensing and warning helps keep the skies safe, and High-Wind Descent RTH brings the drone back safely in extreme weather.

Parachute

Top-mounted on Matrice 5TD, featuring independent power, full-link redundancy, auto/manual deployment, and an FTS compliant with EU C5/C6 and UK5/UK6.

 

Multi-Drone Sensing and Warning

Matrice 5TD’s built-in ADS-B and RID receiver helps warn of nearby aircraft and RID-enabled DJI drones, overlaying tracks on the map for safer flight.

 

High-Wind Descent RTH

Matrice 5TD takes off, lands, and operates in winds up to 12 m/s. When winds spike during return, it descends and heads home safely, even over mountains and forests.

 

AI-Powered Workflow for Intelligent Operations

Sees More, Understands More

Onboard AI on Matrice 5TD now detects 17 object types in real time, while the Virtual Cockpit allows users to search almost any object type via text or image.

Onboard Detection

Matrice 5TD runs real-time AI detection on the live feed, covering 17 object types, plus infrared hotspot detection and support third-party AI models.

 

Generalized Intelligent Detection

Within the Virtual Cockpit, object searches work via text or image. The Multimodal LLM interprets prompts, detects objects, and triggers alerts for situational awareness.

 

From Alert to Action, Automatically

Once an anomaly is detected, the system can send SMS, email, or platform alerts and trigger actions such as snapshots, recording, tracking, or hovering actions, 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. FlightHub 2 Copilot turns your intent into drone commands.

 

Automated Workflows

Triggered workflows dispatch drones on third-party alerts such as DFR calls. Periodic workflows automatically handle collection, modeling, analysis, and reporting.

 

AI Post-Processing: 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 Smart Detection

Compares historical aerial photos to automatically flag facility damage, ground changes, and new unauthorized structures.

Change Detection Pro

AI compares historical aerial photos, marks changed areas, and generates a change report, compressing hours of work into minutes and eliminating frame-by-frame review.
