Imaging and Measurement Capabilities
The M4T stands out for its exceptional thermal imaging capabilities, equipped with a high-resolution infrared camera offering 1280×1024 pixels in High-Res mode. This allows for precise detection of heat even at long distances. Additionally, it includes a laser rangefinder that can measure targets up to 5,905 feet away, making it ideal for tasks such as search-and-rescue missions or industrial inspections. The near-infrared auxiliary light enhances visibility up to 328 feet, improving performance in low-light environments.
In contrast, the M4E model is optimized for advanced surveying. It features a 24mm wide-angle camera with a mechanical shutter, enabling mapping speeds of up to 69 feet per second. For thorough inspections, the 7x telephoto lens captures sharp images from as far as 820 feet, providing a safe distance when examining high-risk areas such as power lines or tall structures.
AI Search and Rescue
DJI’s Matrice 4 Series introduces a revolutionary approach to emergency response. With advanced AI computing onboard, these drones can automatically detect and track individuals, vehicles, or vessels, drastically reducing search times in critical situations. The cruise control feature further enhances efficiency, ensuring that search patterns remain consistent and precise.
The DJI Pilot 2 app integrates seamlessly with the M4 Series, offering smart mapping tools that keep track of covered areas, removing any uncertainty and ensuring no part of the search area is missed. For the M4E model, the AI-powered Smart 3D Capture creates highly accurate mapping routes around irregular structures, proving invaluable in challenging and complex search environments.
Performance in Tough Conditions
The Matrice 4 Series has mastered operations in low-visibility conditions. With six high-definition fisheye lenses, these drones provide exceptional visual positioning, even in the most challenging environments. Autonomous obstacle avoidance ensures safe navigation, whether in dense urban areas or rugged landscapes.
For high-stakes missions, data security is paramount. All server operations are managed on ISO 27001-certified AWS infrastructure located in the United States. Additionally, features like Local Data Mode and AES-256 encryption protect both personal and mission-critical information, ensuring privacy and security at all times.
Pro Accessories for Operations
The Matrice 4 Series comes with innovative accessories designed to boost its operational capabilities. The DJI AS1 Speaker offers crystal-clear audio that can be heard up to 984 feet, making it ideal for crowd control and emergency announcements.
Another key accessory is the D-RTK 3 Multifunctional Station, which provides centimeter-level positioning accuracy. This ensures the drone performs reliably, even in areas with limited network coverage, enabling precise data collection and more accurate mapping.
Agility for Emergency Responses
Speed and reliability are central to the Matrice 4 Series design. With a quick 15-second deployment time from power-up to takeoff, these drones are always ready to respond in urgent situations. They perform exceptionally well in GNSS-denied environments, utilizing visual positioning to update return-to-home points.
The system can pre-download terrain data and offline maps, ensuring smooth navigation through challenging landscapes, such as mountainous areas or low-light conditions. This makes the Matrice 4 Series an invaluable asset for emergency services and disaster response teams.
