DJI Reveals The Brand New Matrice 400 Enterprise Drone

The DJI Matrice 400 (M400) is DJI’s most powerful enterprise drone platform to date, representing a significant leap forward in flight performance, payload flexibility, automation and AI-assisted workflows. Engineered for demanding operations across public safety, inspection, infrastructure and surveying, the M400 redefines the boundaries of what drones can achieve.

Built for Mission-Critical Operations

Whether you're operating in complex urban environments, inspecting high-voltage power lines, or conducting ship-based offshore inspections, the M400 has been designed from the ground up to excel in all conditions:

• Flight Time: Up to 59 minutes (with H30T payload), representing a 50% increase over the M350 RTK.
• Flight Speed: Max forward and route speed of 25 m/s — a 60% improvement on previous models.
• Payload Capacity: Supports 6 kg with up to 7 payloads simultaneously via 4× E-Port V2 interfaces.
• Ingress Protection: IP55-rated for operations in rain, fog, and dusty environments.
• Operating Temperature: Reliable from -20°C to +50°C.

Intelligent Flight Features & Automation

The Matrice 400 isn’t just a flying platform — it’s a smart aerial system. It integrates AR, AI and automated flight logic to enhance mission effectiveness:

• AR Power Line & AR Map View: Real-time overlays show power lines, landmarks, and routes for intuitive control.
• Live Annotations: Mark points, measure distances, and calculate areas on-the-fly.
• Intelligent Flight Modes: Cruise, FlyTo, POI, SmartTrack, and Real-Time Terrain Follow streamline complex missions.

With DJI FlightHub 2 integration, operators can edit flight routes, manage multi-payload missions and livestream data to stakeholders — all from a centralised dashboard.

World-Class Obstacle Avoidance and Safety

Power-line-level obstacle detection makes the M400 unrivalled in situational awareness:

• 360° Horizontal Rotating LiDAR: Detects objects as small as 21.6mm wires at up to 35m.
• Six-Directional mmWave Radar: Operates effectively even in rain, fog, or snow.
• Full-Colour Fisheye Vision: Offers enhanced object recognition, superior to monochrome alternatives.
• Multi-Sensor Fusion: Combined LiDAR, radar, and vision systems deliver omnidirectional awareness.

Additional safety features include:

• Arm and battery lock sensors
• Three-propeller emergency landing mode
• Dual anti-collision beacons
• ADS-B AirSense aircraft detection
• Integrated high-precision positioning

Payload Compatibility & Use Case Expansion

The Matrice 400 is compatible with DJI’s most advanced payloads:

This level of integration makes the M400 suitable for infrastructure inspection, emergency response, AEC modelling, offshore surveying and precision agriculture.

Extended Ecosystem, SDK & Developer Support

The M400 is built with open architecture in mind:

• Payload SDK V3: Enables custom sensor integration with seamless access to flight platform data.
• SkyPort V3 & E-Port V2: For quick-release mounting and plug-and-play functionality.
• Manifold 3: Lightweight onboard computer (120g) with 100 TOPS of AI computing.
• Mobile SDK & Cloud API: Integrate the M400 into third-party workflows and cloud platforms via MQTT.

DJI’s new Tethered Battery System (TB100C) enables continuous flight for long-duration missions like perimeter surveillance or persistent monitoring.

Unrivalled Transmission and Remote Operations

• O4 Enterprise Transmission System: Up to 40 km range (FCC), with sub-2G band support for strong signal penetration.
• Dual 4G Dongles: Automatic network switching in high-interference zones.
• Airborne Relay Module: One M400 can act as a relay station for another, extending signal range in mountainous or remote locations.

Ship-Based Launch & Landing

With dynamic marker recognition and AI-powered landing precision, the M400 allows for automated take-off and landing on moving vessels. A 3m x 3m deck space is all that's needed to conduct offshore missions — a game-changer for maritime inspections and offshore wind farm assessments.

Intelligent Battery & Charging System

The M400 features:

• TB100 Batteries: 977Wh capacity with 400 charge cycles.
• Hot-Swap Support: Maintains GPS lock during battery replacement.
• BS100 Charging Station: Charges 3× TB100s in just 45 mins at 220V. Smart UI, auto-discharge, and firmware updates included.
