DJI Matrice 4 Series Brings Intelligence to Aerial Operations
New Matrice 4T and Matrice 4E enterprise drones feature smart detection, for Smarter Operations and Laser Range Finder for Real-Time Precise Measurement
January 8, 2025 – DJI, the global leader in civil drones and creative camera technology, today introduces the DJI Matrice 4 Series as the company’s new compact flagship enterprise drone series. Launching with the Matrice 4T and Matrice 4E, these new intelligent multi-sensor compact drones feature advanced capabilities such as smart detection and laser marking measurement. With an AI computing platform and significantly enhanced sensing capabilities, flight operations with these drones will be even safer and more reliable than ever before.
“With the Matrice 4 Series, DJI is ushering in a new era of intelligent aerial operations. In equipping our industry-leading enterprise drones with AI, search and rescue teams can save lives faster,” said Christina Zhang, Senior Director of Corporate Strategy at DJI. “Moreover, the intelligent features in the Matrice 4T and Matrice 4E will enable surveying, mapping, and inspection work to be done with higher precision for higher efficiency.”
Multiple Intelligent Sensors for Detailed Night or Day Visuals and Precision Mapping
The DJI Matrice 4T can serve various industries, from emergency response and public safety to energy management. The infrared thermal camera supports High-Res Mode up to 1280x1024 pixels. the NIR Auxiliary Light can illuminate distances 100 meters away, and the Laser Range Finder can take measurements from 1,800 meters away. Other notable lenses include a 24mm wide-angle lens (1/1.3 CMOS, 48MP, f/1.7) and an IR-Cut Filter, ensuring clear visuals day and night.
The DJI Matrice 4E is designed for surveying, mapping, construction, and inspections. High-speed aerial surveying from multiple angles can be done with the 24mm wide-angled lens (4/3 CMOS, 20MP, f/2.8-f/11) with a mechanical shutter. It supports rapid 0.5-second interval shooting in orthophoto and oblique photography modes with mapping flight speeds reaching up to 21 meters per second. With the 3x optical 70mm medium telephoto lens (1/1.3 CMOS, 48MP, f/2.8), screws and cracks can be identified in medium-range inspections for power lines and bridges from a distance of 10 meters. For longer-range inspections, the 7x 168mm telephoto camera (1/1.5 CMOS, 48 MP, f/2.8) can capture incredible details from up to 250 meters away.
Intelligent Aerial Support for Search and Rescue Missions
With the built-in AI model, the Matrice 4 Series serves as a second pair of eyes during search and rescue missions. Vehicles and vessels can be quickly detected from a distance, even in difficult terrain. The drones can be flown on cruise control, allowing searches to maintain a consistent speed and freeing pilots to multitask. A FlyTo destination can be set to a missing person’s last known location and the drones will automatically set and adjust their flight path and speed based on the surrounding environment. When paired with DJI Pilot 2 app, the Matrice 4 Series can visualize on a map what ground area has already been observed based on the cameras field of view and without needing an obvious landmark -- helping to ensure no area is missed. DJI Matrice 4E also enables Smart 3D Capture, allowing users to create rough models on the remote controller and generate precise mapping routes for detailed measurements of irregular buildings. It also displays virtual space routes and waypoint photos, enhancing flight safety assessment and coverage area analysis. DJI now also provides the necessary model training tools and third-party developer certification process to access onboard computing capability, helping expand new drone AI application fields.
Excellent Visuals in Complex Environments
The Matrice 4 series makes extensive upgrades to night mode – a key capability for nighttime wildlife protection efforts and search and rescue missions. With larger apertures and intelligent low-light capabilities, the cameras on the Matrice 4T and Matrice 4E allow for better performance during dusk and nighttime lighting. They also have six high-definition low-light fisheye lenses, significantly enhancing visual low-light positioning, allowing for automatic obstacle avoidance, intelligent rerouting, and safe return in urban low-light environments. In case of fog, haze, or high humidity, Electronic Dehazing can improve the imaging clarity of the Matrice 4 series to match different operational environments and requirements.
New Accessories for Efficiency and Adaptability
The Matrice 4 Series upgrades accessories for more efficiency and adaptable operaitons. The DJI AL1 SpotLight can clearly illuminate subjects even from 100 meters away,supporting both always-on and strobe modes. It also offers enhanced coverage in wide-angle modes.
Meanwhile, the DJI AS1 Speaker delivers powerful audio, broadcasting up to 300 meters and reaching 114 decibels at 1 meter. Further elevating operations, the D-RTK 3 Multifunctional Station supports drones with centimeter-level positioning accuracy, extending image transmission through signal relay at elevated altitudes and facilitating high-precision data collection in network-free areas. It also have the ability to mark ground control points.
Smarter and Safer Flights for Worry-Free Operations
The Matrice 4 series comes with an integrated DJI RTK module which supports the extented L5 frequency band and features GNSS+Vision Fusion Positioning and Navigation Systeam.
Pilots can take off within 15 seconds during emergencies and update return-to-home points through visual positioning even without GNSS signals. If connected with the Internet, the remote controller can download terrain obstacle details and detailed offline maps. This enables automatic path planning for obstacle avoidance helping pilots navigate at night or through mountainous areas.
Industry-Leading Data Security Protocols
DJI places the highest priority on data privacy – and puts customers in control of their data's use. No flight logs, photos, or videos are synced with DJI by default. Operators must opt-in to share or store their data on DJI servers, which are housed in US-based AWS servers certified compliant with ISO 27001. For heightened data security needs or those flying sensitive missions, Local Data Mode can be activated to stop the DJI Pilot 2 flight control app from sending or receiving any data over the internet. This prevents unintentional syncing of photos, videos or flight logs with external servers. Any personal data shared for account registration is further secured with AES-256 encryption. Operators can easily delete any data they have shared through their DJI account or by contacting DJI Support. Since 2017, we have regularly submitted our products for third-party security audits and certification, including Booz Allen Hamilton, FTI Consulting, and Kivu Consulting.
