The DJI Matrice 5T combines LiDAR, mmWave radar, and vision sensors [1] in a rugged, IP55-rated design [2], making it ideal for demanding surveying, inspection, and emergency response missions. Equipped with 1K thermal imaging and advanced night vision, it captures sharp details around the clock. A 59-minute maximum flight time [3] and built-in relay modes [4] maximize your operational range, while open onboard AI and Pilot 2 plugin compatibility drive intelligent, on-site workflows.
Native 1K Infrared Thermal Imaging [6]
Boasting a native resolution of 1280×1024, the thermal camera delivers four times the pixel density of standard 640×512 sensors. By activating the UHR Infrared Image mode, operators can view real-time 2560×2048 footage at 30 fps, ensuring that thermal signatures stand out with sharp clarity against even the most cluttered backgrounds.
Full-Colour Night Vision, Wide-Angle Camera
Delivering exceptional Night Vision, the camera combines a large 1/0.98-inch sensor with a fast f/1.8 aperture to maximize light gathering. Supported by AI-driven low-light enhancement, the system pushes ISO sensitivity up to 1,600,000, ensuring vibrant, full-colour visuals even in near-pitch-black environments down to 0.01 lux [7].
Medium Telephoto Camera for Mid-Range Accuracy
Utilizing a 50 MP sensor and 3× optical zoom, the camera delivers exceptionally sharp medium-range details. For infrastructure inspections like bridges and power lines, it accurately identifies minute cracks and pins from 10 meters out, while also allowing operators to easily read substation instrument panels [8].
Telephoto Camera: Crisp Monochrome Night Vision
Boasting an 11× optical and 176× hybrid zoom, the 50 MP sensor can clearly read license plates from distances up to 400 meters [9]. It utilizes an RYYB sensor array that delivers higher light sensitivity per unit area compared to standard RGGB configurations, ensuring superior low-light performance. Furthermore, adjusting the IR cut filter pushes the operational lux threshold even lower for exceptional visibility in extremely dark environments.
Engineered for Extreme Environments
Positioned as a compact enterprise flagship, the Matrice 5T boasts an IP55 rating [2], ensuring it remains fully operational in harsh environments involving dust and rain. Furthermore, it delivers unwavering reliability across an extreme temperature range of -20° to 50° C (-4° to 122° F).
Wire-Level Obstacle Sensing [13]
Setting a new standard for DJI’s compact enterprise fleet, this model is the first to seamlessly integrate LiDAR, mmWave radar, and an omnidirectional vision system [1]. During night operations, the LiDAR effectively identifies thin obstacles, detecting hazards such as power lines from up to 32 meters away [14]. When faced with challenging environmental conditions like fog, rain, or dust, the mmWave radar easily penetrates the visual interference to maintain continuous, reliable spatial awareness.
Safe Flights, Even in Low Lighting
Powered by full-colour fisheye sensors [16], the omnidirectional low-light sensing system [15] maintains stable visual positioning in environments as dark as 0.5 lux, while Vision Assist further elevates situational awareness by providing full-colour imagery. When navigating dimly lit urban landscapes, the vision system and LiDAR collaborate to ensure dependable spatial awareness. In completely pitch-black wilderness settings, the LiDAR system seamlessly takes over to independently detect forward obstacles.
Precision Positioning in Weak-GNSS Environments
When navigating weak-GNSS environments—such as beneath bridges [17], inside deep canyons, or between dense urban high-rises—the Matrice 5T continuously merges visual and radar data to map its surroundings in real time. This advanced sensor fusion guarantees dependable positioning, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted flight operations.
Equipped with integrated ADS-B and RID receivers, the Matrice 5T actively detects nearby manned and unmanned aircraft in real time to deliver immediate, critical alerts. When navigating congested airspaces or complex multi-drone environments, this technology provides operators with unparalleled situational awareness, effectively mitigating collision risks and ensuring safe operational separation.
Equipped with built-in AI models, the system can identify over 20 distinct target types to ensure exceptional adaptability across a wide range of scenarios. By simultaneously processing thermal and visible feeds on a split-screen display, it rapidly detects and locks onto vehicles, vessels, fires [18], and other critical subjects. Additionally, the open onboard computing architecture fully supports third-party models, empowering operators to flexibly deploy custom algorithms tailored to specific mission requirements.
By linking DJI Pilot 2 with DJI FlightHub 2, operators can leverage advanced cloud computing to conduct targeted searches using text or image prompts. An integrated multimodal large language model (LLM) precisely interprets these inputs to identify objects and automatically trigger alerts, ensuring comprehensive situational awareness across diverse operational scenarios.
Define your target zone on the map and let the system instantly plot the most efficient route. As it flies, it detects subjects in real time and performs tailored actions—from capturing media to broadcasting audio. Once the flight concludes, all gathered data is organized into a detailed report, taking the manual effort out of routine monitoring.
Powered by the sub2G frequency band [19] and a remote equipped with a high-gain smart antenna array, O4 Enterprise Enhanced delivers up to 40 km of transmission range [20]. Adaptive multi-band switching effortlessly filters out urban interference [21]. Additionally, two built-in DJI Cellular Dongle 2 modules seamlessly switch to the best available network, keeping your signal stable despite physical obstructions [22].
Control both the primary drone and the relay using a single remote. The relay acts intelligently, adapting its position and attitude in real time to sustain a perfect transmission link.
A dedicated relay drone extends the signal of the active aircraft, significantly increasing your overall operational range.
