Important: The DJI Matrice 5TD Combo and Extended Warranty must be purchased together.

Compatibility Notice: The DJI Matrice 5TD is exclusively compatible with the DJI Dock 4.

Overview

The DJI Matrice 5TD is an advanced enterprise drone combining telephoto imaging, high-resolution thermal imaging, laser ranging and full-colour night vision in one integrated platform.

Designed for demanding inspection, security and surveying operations, it delivers aerial survey accuracy of up to 10 cm at 12 MP. Its multi-sensor capabilities allow operators to conduct daytime inspections, nighttime security operations and surveying without changing aircraft, improving operational efficiency and equipment utilisation.

Multi-Sensor Imaging for Day and Night Operations

The Matrice 5TD integrates multiple imaging technologies to provide detailed visual and thermal information across different operating environments.

• 11× Telephoto Camera: Features a 252 mm equivalent focal length, capturing details from up to 400 m away and identifying bolt- and pin-level defects at 100 m.
• High-Resolution Thermal Imaging: Delivers 1280 × 1024 resolution, expandable to 2560 × 2048 in UHR mode, with 2K recording and 32× zoom for identifying overheating components and damaged insulators.
• Fusion Mode: Combines visible-light and infrared imagery through edge or overlay fusion, displaying structural details alongside heat distribution.
• Full-Colour Night Vision: Captures high-frame-rate 4K colour footage in low-light conditions without requiring a spotlight. An NIR auxiliary light also supports black-and-white night vision.
• 3 km Laser Ranging: Provides distance measurements and PinPoint coordinates directly on the camera feed, supporting inspections, rescue operations and wildfire assessment.

Flexible Payload Capabilities

With an effective payload capacity of up to 450 g, the Matrice 5TD supports multiple accessories through its side PSDK mounts and top mounting position.

• Three Mounting Positions: Supports simultaneous payload configurations for lighting, broadcasting and additional operational equipment.
• Multi-Accessory Configuration: Can accommodate a speaker, spotlight and parachute together, providing aerial voice guidance and additional lighting during nighttime search operations.
• Customisable Warning Light: Features a built-in warning light with configurable colours and flashing patterns, eliminating the need for additional installation.

Advanced Obstacle Detection and Flight Safety

The Matrice 5TD combines three-directional millimetre-wave radar, rotating LiDAR and six-directional vision sensing to improve obstacle detection in complex environments.

• Wire-Level Obstacle Sensing: Combines LiDAR, mmWave radar and full-colour low-light fisheye sensors to detect thin obstacles, including powerlines, even at night.
• Six-Directional Vision Sensing: Uses high-resolution low-light fisheye sensors to support obstacle detection in challenging lighting conditions.
• Parachute System: Supports automatic and manual deployment, independent power and full-link redundancy. Its flight termination system is compliant with EU C5/C6 and UK5/UK6 requirements.
• Multi-Drone Sensing and Warning: Built-in ADS-B and Remote ID receivers help identify nearby aircraft and compatible DJI drones, displaying their positions on the map.
• High-Wind Descent Return to Home: Supports operation in winds of up to 12 m/s. During return-to-home operations in stronger winds, the aircraft can descend to improve flight safety.

AI-Powered Intelligent Operations

The Matrice 5TD incorporates onboard AI and intelligent workflow capabilities to improve situational awareness, automate inspections and simplify data analysis.

• Onboard AI Detection: Detects 17 object types in real time, with additional infrared hotspot detection and support for third-party AI models.
• Generalised Intelligent Detection: FlightHub 2 Virtual Cockpit supports object searches using text or images, allowing operators to identify objects and receive alerts.
• Automated Alerts and Actions: Detected anomalies can trigger SMS, email or platform notifications, alongside actions such as capturing snapshots, recording, tracking or hovering.
• FlightHub 2 Copilot: Enables natural-language interaction for drone control, flight commands, route planning and scheduled operations.
• Automated Workflows: Supports workflows triggered by third-party alerts, as well as scheduled data collection, modelling, analysis and reporting.
• AI Post-Processing: Compares new aerial data against historical imagery and 3D models, automatically identifying changes and generating reports.
• Change Detection Pro: Highlights changes in facilities, ground conditions and unauthorised structures, reducing the need for manual frame-by-frame inspection.

Operational Security and Compliance

Designed for complex operating environments, the Matrice 5TD combines multiple safety technologies to support risk management and improved airspace awareness.

• Ground Risk Mitigation: DJI-designed parachute technology, custom flight zones and integrated flight safety features help reduce operational risks.
• Airspace Risk Mitigation: Remote ID sensing, AirSense and third-party airspace data provide additional situational awareness.
• Drone and Aircraft Awareness: Receives ADS-B signals from nearby aircraft and detects compatible nearby drones, displaying relevant information through FlightHub 2.

Open Ecosystem and Third-Party Integration

The Matrice 5TD supports an expanding ecosystem of intelligent applications and third-party payloads.

• Intelligent Computing Platform: Supports dual-stream encoding, model quantisation tools and deployment channels for onboard AI algorithms.
• Third-Party Payload Support: Three E-Port interfaces and up to 450 g payload capacity support accessories such as gas detectors and current-flow meters.
• PSDK V4: Introduces MQTT-based communication and control between payloads and the aircraft, simplifying integration and enabling more advanced hardware applications.
