DJI has unveiled the Matrice 400, designed for a range of applications, including emergency response, power line inspections, large-scale mapping, engineering and construction. The UAV offers a maximum flight time of 59 minutes and can carry payloads weighing up to 6 kg. It is equipped with a lidar and millimeter wave radar-based obstacle sensing system, enhancing its ability to navigate complex environments.
<p>The Matrice 400 features an IP55 protection rating, allowing it to operate in harsh conditions and withstand extreme temperatures ranging from minus 20°C to 50°C, according to DJI. The company also states that the drone is capable of taking off from stationary vessels and landing on moving ships, making it suitable for offshore operations such as wind turbine inspections and maritime patrols.</p> <p>The UAV offers power-line-level obstacle avoidance, which allows it to detect and avoid buildings and mountains while flying at speeds up to 25 m/s. It uses O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission technology, which supports image transmission up to 40 km. This is achieved through a 10-antenna system on the aircraft and a high-gain phased array antenna on the remote controller. A built-in video transmission relay module allows operators to use one Matrice 400 as a relay drone, providing signal support for another unit.</p> <p>The drone is designed for automated operations, featuring multiple intelligent functions to improve efficiency. It supports up to seven payloads simultaneously through four external E-Port V2 ports, with options for single or dual downward gimbals and compatibility with a third gimbal connector on the underside. DJI has also incorporated a range of privacy controls to address the data security needs of enterprise users.</p> <p><p>The post <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com/dji-launches-uav-for-long-endurance-aerial-missions/">DJI launches UAV for long-endurance aerial missions</a> first appeared on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com">GPS World</a>.</p></p>
