DJI FlightHub 2 Update (June 2025): Advanced AI, Instant RTH & Full M400 Support
- by Stefan Gandhi
On 10 June 2025, DJI released a transformative update to FlightHub 2, its centralised drone management platform. Aimed squarely at commercial users, this upgrade brings a host of intelligent tools and system-wide improvements that are set to streamline drone operations and improve mission responsiveness across industries.
From AI enhancements and live flight commands to custom algorithm integration and new hardware support, this update reshapes the way professionals interact with DJI's enterprise ecosystem.
Centralised Control with Live Flight Management
Among the headline features is live flight control compatibility with the DJI Matrice 4D Series. This integration allows operators to direct Matrice 4D aircraft in real time via remote controller within the FlightHub 2 interface. The addition of a one-click return-to-home (RTH) function adds another layer of operational agility. In a single command, all aircraft involved in a project can be safely recalled, ideal for emergency procedures or synchronised mission completion.
This centralised command structure dramatically improves responsiveness and mission cohesion, especially in dynamic environments where timing and coordination are critical.
Advanced AI Recognition and Patrol Automation
A major leap forward in this update lies in its AI capabilities. Patrol routes can now be defined within the system, allowing for automated surveillance of designated areas. During these patrols, FlightHub 2 leverages sophisticated recognition algorithms to detect and classify people, vehicles and boats.
This functionality is embedded in the upgraded Virtual Cockpit, which now supports real-time AI alerts triggered by infrared video streams. Operators receive immediate notifications when a subject of interest is detected, enabling faster intervention and smarter decision-making.
Moreover, the platform's media file library now allows operators to access, view and share AI-generated videos that highlight recognition outcomes. This streamlines incident documentation and facilitates transparent mission reporting.
Enterprise Expansion: DJI M400 Comes Online
With the latest update, FlightHub 2 now fully supports the new DJI Matrice 400. This includes comprehensive remote control of the M400's gimbal camera and PSDK accessories, giving operators full control over payload configurations and data collection.
M400 users can now create FlyTo tasks for precise navigation, plan detailed flight routes, and execute missions with the same confidence and flexibility already available for other DJI enterprise platforms. This positions the M400 as a fully integrated asset in any commercial drone fleet.
Smarter Data Management and Developer Access
A standout feature in this release is the upgraded support for custom algorithm deployment. Through the Algorithms page, users can now load third-party code from the DJI Developer site directly onto aircraft connected to DJI Docks. This enables on-the-fly customisation of drone behaviour, empowering organisations to implement industry-specific analytics or autonomous responses at the edge.
Simultaneously, FlightHub Sync has graduated from beta. The tool now allows for seamless synchronisation of media files, flight logs, mission data and routes to external cloud storage buckets. This ensures that critical data is securely stored, easily shared and available for long-term analysis or regulatory reporting.
Enhanced Operational Safety and Problem Solving
The June update introduces several safety-first improvements designed to protect both assets and mission success:
- DJI Dock 2 compatibility has been added to flight record documentation.
- Historical obstacle-sensing data is now factored into task distribution. If an obstacle is detected during a recurring task, further flights are automatically paused pending manual review.
- Abnormal feedback is now automatically linked to aircraft or Dock logs. When a time is selected, relevant logs are matched and error codes populated, making it easier to diagnose and resolve issues.
- Support for toggling between public and on-premises FlightHub environments ensures that Docks can operate securely in sensitive or controlled networks.
These updates provide deeper insights, safer operations and more confidence in continuous deployment scenarios.
Conclusion
The latest DJI FlightHub 2 update is more than a collection of new features. It reflects a strategic push towards intelligent, autonomous and data-centric drone operations. By enhancing AI surveillance, enabling real-time fleet control, supporting next-generation hardware and opening the door to third-party innovation, DJI has reaffirmed its leadership in the commercial UAV space.
For enterprises managing critical infrastructure, public safety or high-volume inspection tasks, this update delivers the tools to operate faster, safer and smarter.
