Robust Video Transmission
Reliable Long-Range Video Transmission
The DJI Matrice 400 features the advanced O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission system, delivering stable, high-quality live video feeds over long distances.
With a multi-antenna transmission system and high-gain signal architecture, operators can achieve video transmission ranges of up to 40 km, providing reliable situational awareness during complex missions.
The system also supports sub-2G frequency bands and can be equipped with dual cellular connectivity, allowing the aircraft to automatically switch to the strongest available network. This ensures a stable video link even in environments with signal interference or limited infrastructure.
For operations in difficult terrain or extended distances, the Matrice 400 supports airborne relay functionality.
In this configuration, one aircraft can act as a relay platform, transmitting the signal between the pilot and a second drone operating further away. This significantly increases operational range and improves communication reliability in environments such as:
-
mountainous terrain
-
remote infrastructure corridors
-
large-scale search and rescue operations
This relay capability allows teams to maintain stable video transmission and operational awareness even in areas where direct signal connectivity would normally be limited.
Extended Coverage for Remote Operations
Advanced Fusion Positioning
The DJI Matrice 400 uses an advanced sensor fusion positioning system designed to provide stable and precise flight performance in complex environments.
By combining rotating LiDAR, high-precision mmWave radar, and low-light fisheye vision sensors, the aircraft maintains accurate positioning even when operating close to structures or in environments where GPS signals may be limited.
This multi-sensor approach enables safe flight operations near challenging surfaces such as glass buildings, wind turbine blades, bridges, and large infrastructure assets, giving operators greater confidence during inspection and monitoring missions.
The system also enhances return-to-home reliability by maintaining accurate spatial awareness, allowing the aircraft to safely navigate away from structures and obstacles during automated flight procedures
Full-Color Vision Assist
The DJI Matrice 400 is equipped with four full-color low-light fisheye vision sensors that provide enhanced visual awareness for the pilot during flight operations.
This system delivers Full-Color Vision Assist, enabling operators to maintain better situational awareness even in low-light environments. By providing a clear visual feed of the aircraft’s surroundings, the system helps improve navigation and operational safety during complex missions.
The integrated vision sensors support safer flight operations when working around infrastructure, terrain, or obstacles, giving operators additional visual confidence during inspection, mapping, and public safety missions.
Enhanced Intelligence and Operational Efficiency
Smart Detection
When equipped with advanced payloads such as the Zenmuse H30 Series, the DJI Matrice 400 enables powerful smart detection and tracking capabilities using both visible and thermal imaging sensors.
This intelligent system allows operators to identify and track vehicles, vessels, and individuals during operations such as search and rescue, security monitoring, and infrastructure inspections.
The platform also supports high-resolution grid capture and automated tracking functions, enabling efficient data collection and improved situational awareness during routine missions or emergency deployments.
These capabilities allow organisations to increase operational efficiency while reducing manual workload, making the Matrice 400 a highly effective tool for complex aerial operations.
Smart AR Detection
Power Line AR
For power grid inspections, the DJI Matrice 400 detects overhead wires and displays AR guidance lines on the controller, improving situational awareness and flight safety.
Live Annotations
Operators can mark points directly on the controller screen to determine target locations, measure distances, and calculate areas. Measurement data can also be synchronised with DJI FlightHub 2 to support coordinated team operations.
Map View AR
In urban environments, the controller highlights landmarks, buildings, and major roads in real time, improving navigation and situational awareness for day and night operations.
AR Flight Waypoint
During RTH, obstacle sensing, and FlyTo operations, pilots can preview the drone’s route in real time. The AR aircraft shadow also appears during landing to help confirm the landing position.
Real-Time Terrain Follow
The DJI Matrice 400 supports real-time terrain following in any horizontal direction, allowing the aircraft to maintain a consistent height relative to the ground. This feature can be used during both manual flight and automated mission routes, helping ensure stable and reliable operations over uneven terrain.
For large-scale search and rescue missions, terrain following allows subjects on the ground to remain consistently visible on the controller display, reducing the need for constant zoom adjustments and improving operational efficiency. During mapping missions, it helps maintain a consistent ground sampling distance (GSD), enabling the collection of high-precision mapping data.
Takeoff and Landing on Ships
The DJI Matrice 400 supports reliable takeoff and landing operations from vessels, enabling drone deployment in offshore and maritime environments. This capability allows operators to launch from stationary platforms or safely recover the aircraft on moving vessels.
Using advanced positioning and landing detection systems, the aircraft can recognise landing zones on deck and perform controlled, accurate landings even in dynamic conditions.
This makes the Matrice 400 well suited for operations such as offshore wind turbine inspections, maritime patrol, coastal monitoring, and search and rescue missions.
Intelligent Flight Modes
Cruise
Activate cruise control mode to pilot the drone in a specific direction without constantly pressing the control sticks, making long-distance flights or linear inspections easier.
POI
POI enables continuous observation and 3D modeling of buildings while orbiting a designated area, greatly enhancing the efficiency of fixed-point observation and modeling tasks.
Smart Track
Smart Track allows for precise subject positioning and automatic zoom adjustments, allowing you to switch between subjects easily. It can automatically reacquire a subject even if obscured briefly.
FlyTo
In emergencies or disasters, the drone can automatically adjust its flight path and speed based on the surrounding environment, allowing it to reach a designated location without manual adjustments.
Easier Automated Operations
Power Line Follow With Zenmuse L3/L2
When Matrice 400 is equipped with the L3 (via the Zenmuse L3 single gimbal connector) or L2 LiDAR system, it can perform automated power transmission and distribution line following flights. The onboard rotating LiDAR detects obstacles in real time, allowing the drone to automatically bypass crossing lines.
Slope Route & Geometric Route
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.
