1K Thermal Images, Enhanced Night Vision

With a native resolution of 1280 × 1024, the thermal camera quadruples the number of pixels of standard 640 × 512 sensors. Enable the UHR infrared imaging function for real-time images of 2560 × 2048 at 30 fps. Even with complex backgrounds, thermal anomalies remain clearly defined.

 

Wide-angle camera, full-color night vision.

A large 1/0.98-inch sensor and a fast f/1.8 aperture capture more light. Thanks to AI-powered low-light enhancement, ISO sensitivity reaches 1,600,000, providing vivid full-color images in conditions as dark as 0.01 lux.

Medium telephoto lens, medium-range accuracy

Equipped with a 50 MP sensor and 3× optical zoom, the camera captures sharp details at medium range. During inspections of power lines or bridges, it can detect pins and cracks from 10 meters away and clearly read data from instruments at substations.

 

Telephoto camera, monochrome night vision

With 11x optical zoom and 176x hybrid zoom, the 50 MP sensor reads license plates at a distance of up to 400m. An RYYB array offers greater light sensitivity per unit area than a standard RGGB array, for better performance in low light conditions. Adjusting the IR cut filter further reduces the operating lux threshold.

Range and Visualization Assistance

  • Laser Rangefinder: With a maximum measurement range of 3 km, the system supports precise location, line tracing, and area calculation to quickly mark assets or measure the perimeters of wildfires.
  • NIR Auxiliary Light: An NIR illuminator provides up to 100 m of effective illumination, complementing the telephoto camera’s monochrome night vision to deliver clearer close-up details.
  • Dual-Light Fusion: Thermal and visible signals are fused on the remote control, allowing for temperature checks and alerts directly on the screen. A dial quickly adjusts the fusion ratio. Split screens display up to three simultaneous signals: wide-angle, telephoto, thermal, map, and visual assistance.

Omnidirectional detection, IP55 rating

Designed for Harsh Conditions

 

As a compact enterprise-class flagship, the Matrice 5T has an IP55 rating, allowing it to operate in harsh conditions, including dust and rain. It also delivers reliable performance across a wide temperature range of -20 °C to 50 °C (-4 °F to 122 °F).

Obstacle Detection at the Cable Level

 

For the first time in a compact business drone from DJI, DJI has integrated LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar, and an omnidirectional vision system. The LiDAR identifies thin obstacles at night, detecting power lines up to 32 m away. In fog, rain, or dusty conditions, the millimeter-wave radar penetrates obstructions to sense its surroundings.

Safety on Flights in Low-Light Conditions

The omnidirectional low-light detection system uses full-color fisheye sensors to maintain visual positioning in conditions as low as 0.5 lux, while Vision Assist now provides full-color images for greater environmental awareness. In dimly lit urban areas, vision and LiDAR work together for reliable detection; in completely dark wilderness areas, LiDAR takes over to detect obstacles.

Positioning and Operation with Weak GNSS Signals

In environments with weak GNSS signals—such as under bridges, in deep canyons, or among urban skyscrapers—the Matrice 5T combines visual and radar data to map its surroundings in real time. This provides reliable positioning for seamless flight operations.

Airspace Awareness

 

The built-in ADS-B and RID receivers allow the Matrice 5T to detect nearby manned and unmanned aircraft in real time, issuing timely alerts. In congested airspace or environments with multiple drones, this provides operators with a comprehensive situational awareness, helping to prevent collisions and maintain safe separation.

Open-edge AI, on-site intelligence

 

More than 20 types of target detection

The built-in AI models detect more than 20 types of targets, offering broad adaptability to various scenarios. By simultaneously analyzing thermal and visible signals on a split screen, the system quickly detects vehicles, boats, fires, and other types of targets. The open on-board computing platform supports third-party models, enabling flexible implementation of custom algorithms.

FlightHub 2’s Multimodal Cloud Detection

 

When DJI Pilot 2 connects to DJI FlightHub 2, cloud computing enables target searches using text or images. The multimodal LLM accurately interprets instructions, detects objects, and triggers alerts, providing a comprehensive view of the situation in any scenario.

AI Patrol Routes

 

Simply select an area on the map, and the system will automatically generate an efficient patrol route. It detects targets in real time and performs customized actions such as flying over them, taking photos, recording videos, or streaming audio. After the flight, it compiles the results into detailed reports, greatly automating routine inspections.

O4 Business Transmission, Multiple Relay Modes

O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission System: By leveraging the sub-2 GHz frequency band and a high-gain smart antenna array in the remote controller, the O4 Enterprise Enhanced system transmits up to 40 km. Adaptive multiband switching resists urban interference. The built-in dual DJI Cellular Dongle 2 modules enable automatic switching to the optimal network link, maintaining signal stability despite physical obstructions.

Multiple Relay Modes

  • Single Relay, Dual Controller: A single relay drone provides signal extension for an operational aircraft, thereby expanding the overall operational range.
  • Single Relay, Single Controller: A single remote control operates both the relay drone and the operational aircraft. The relay drone intelligently adjusts its attitude and hover position to maintain an optimal connection.
  • 1 Relay, 2 Controllers, 3 Aircraft: A single relay drone transmits data simultaneously to two operational aircraft, making it ideal for large-scale coordinated multi-drone operations.
  • Dual relay, dual controllers: Two relay drones transmit data sequentially to the operational aircraft, further extending the operational range.

Robust power, longer battery life.

Includes low-noise propellers.

The standard propellers feature a bionic arrowhead design shaped like a “bat wing” to optimize airflow and vortex structures, reducing flight noise by up to 80 dB(A) while increasing aerodynamic efficiency.

Maximum flight time of 59 minutes

Equipped with a 215 Wh high-energy-density battery, the aircraft offers extended hover times. A single takeoff covers a wider operational area, reducing the need for battery changes and travel between locations.

Maximum flight speed: 23 m/s

In emergency situations, the Matrice 5T powers up and takes off in just 10 seconds. It quickly reaches the scene to transmit crucial live footage, providing valuable time for subsequent command and dispatch.

Reliable Power Redundancy
