FlightHub 2 Just Got An AI Update, But What Does That Actually Mean?

DJI's latest upgrade to FlightHub 2 is more than a software patch; it's a shift in how professional drone operations are managed, automated and interpreted. The update brings a deep integration of AI tools, streamlined control systems and mission intelligence, making enterprise drone missions smarter, faster and more connected.

If you're running drone teams across construction, infrastructure, security or inspection work in the UK, here's what this actually means for your day-to-day operations.

Total Control From A Single Cockpit

At the heart of the update is a reimagined Virtual Cockpit. The user interface has been streamlined for better clarity, faster interactions and greater customisation. Operators now get full visual command of their drones, with cleaner icons and more flexible layouts.

But the standout feature is multi-aircraft control. Instead of toggling between disconnected views or sessions, operators can now manage several drones simultaneously. Switching between aircraft within the same mission is seamless, giving teams the power to coordinate complex tasks with precision.

With support for real-time streaming from multiple drones and live task monitoring, situational awareness reaches a whole new level.

Smarter Data, Automatically

FlightHub 2 now embeds AI directly into the data stream. Thanks to multimodal large language model (LLM) integration, users can search drone imagery and video using either text or images. That means you can type a query or input a sample image and instantly find visual matches across huge datasets.

Inspections become faster and more accurate. Detection results are automatically saved to flight logs, ensuring a full audit trail and easy review. The system can now spot anomalies in real time, flagging potential issues without manual scanning.

Planning Meets Automation

Flight planning tools have also evolved. Users can now create detailed 3D waypoint routes and patrol patterns with far more control. These can be batch edited, allowing multiple waypoints to be modified in one go, saving hours on complex missions.

Once routes are set, they can feed directly into automated mission workflows. From flight planning to data capture to modelling and reporting, the entire process can now run on a seamless, drag and drop logic system. This reduces human error and speeds up mission execution.

Live AR And Centralised Intelligence

The integration of augmented reality overlays within DJI Pilot 2 gives pilots a clearer view of mission zones. Virtual lines and area projections can now be displayed directly in the live view, helping to guide flight paths and maintain awareness of boundaries.

Meanwhile, centralised dashboards and message centres give operations managers a command level view. From asset health and device status to task schedules and outputs, all critical mission data is available at a glance. System messages and alerts are now gathered into a single panel, with customisation options per user.

Strength In Structure

For organisations managing multiple projects or teams, the new data management tools are a game changer. Admins can view, share or duplicate flight routes, annotations, models and geo-zones across various missions. This makes coordination across departments or geographic locations much easier and reduces duplication.

Media handling has been enhanced too. With smart media search, the system automatically tags objects in imagery, allowing you to filter and locate files based on what matters. These findings can also be exported into structured reports for analysis or stakeholder updates.

Mapping also benefits from new cloud support for ground control points. Improved piercing and reconstruction accuracy mean higher quality outputs in surveying and site capture roles.

Cloud Or On-Prem? Now You Can Compare

DJI has added new capabilities for FlightHub 2 On-Prem users. Teams can now import custom offline elevation data to improve terrain awareness without cloud dependency. A new comparison table between Public Cloud and On-Prem editions allows users to choose the environment that fits their data security and operational needs.

Supported DJI Enterprise Drones

This update is compatible with several flagship models:

• DJI Dock 3
• DJI Dock 2
• Matrice 400
• Matrice 4 Series
• Mavic 3 Enterprise Series

Only these aircraft can access the full suite of AI tools and workflow enhancements. If your operation relies on older models, consider upgrading to unlock the platform's full potential.

FAQs

What is a multimodal LLM in FlightHub 2?

A multimodal LLM (Large Language Model) processes both text and image inputs to perform intelligent tasks like object detection, media search and automated alerts. It enhances inspection speed and precision without needing custom training.

Can FlightHub 2 control multiple drones at once?

Yes. The updated Virtual Cockpit allows one operator to control and switch between multiple drones in real time, with support for live feeds and interactive mission management.

Is this update free for current users?

The firmware update itself is free, but some features may require a higher tier subscription plan depending on your existing service level.

Can I use these new features on the Mavic 3 Enterprise?

Yes. The Mavic 3 Enterprise Series supports this update, including intelligent inspections, smart media tagging and automated workflows.

What is the advantage of FlightHub 2 On-Prem?

On-Prem allows teams to run FlightHub 2 in a secure, offline environment. With support for custom elevation data and isolated operations, it's ideal for sensitive or regulated sectors.

Conclusion

FlightHub 2's AI upgrade marks a major turning point in how professional drone missions are run in the UK. By embedding intelligence, automation and oversight into every stage of the workflow, DJI has created a smarter way to fly.

For those running complex operations across construction, energy, public safety or infrastructure, these updates offer more control, more insight and more value from every mission.
