DJI Matrice 400

The DJI Matrice 400 is the most capable platform in DJI's enterprise drone lineup. Built around a 59-minute flight time, a 6 kg payload capacity, and an obstacle sensing system capable of detecting high-voltage power lines in low-visibility conditions, it is a platform engineered for operations where failure is not an option.

What separates the Matrice 400 from the enterprise platforms that came before it is not any single specification, it is the combination of endurance, payload flexibility, sensing intelligence, and transmission range working together as a system. Teams running long-corridor powerline inspection, large-area search and rescue, offshore platform inspection, or multi-payload precision mapping all get what they need from the same airframe, without compromise.

Aerosmart supplies and supports the DJI Matrice 400 as an authorised DJI Enterprise dealer. Whether you are configuring a single-unit deployment or equipping a multi-aircraft fleet, our team will make sure you are set up with the right configuration, the right documentation, and the right support from day one.

Flight Performance

Extended Flight Time,
High Speed Performance

Fifty-nine minutes of forward flight time with a payload attached is not a specification you encounter across most enterprise platforms. The Matrice 400 holds that figure even under load and maintains up to 53 minutes of hover duration for static observation and inspection tasks where the aircraft needs to hold position rather than cover ground.

What that translates to in the field is fewer landing cycles, longer continuous coverage windows, and less time managing battery rotations on complex missions. For teams running powerline inspections across long corridors, search and rescue operations covering wide terrain, or agricultural mapping missions over large estates, that endurance is operationally significant. It means fewer interruptions, more data per deployment, and lower operational cost per hectare covered.

At a top flight speed of 25 m/s, the Matrice 400 also handles large obstacle avoidance, buildings, ridgelines, transmission towers, and complex structures without requiring the pilot to manually intervene on every approach. The O4 Enterprise Enhanced transmission system maintains clean HD video and full control at up to 40 km, bringing remote and extended-range operations within practical reach without additional relay infrastructure in most deployment scenarios.

Obstacle Sensing and Positioning

Obstacle Sensing Built for the Most Demanding Environments

Most enterprise drones struggle with power lines. The Matrice 400 was specifically engineered to detect them. Its sensing system combines rotating LiDAR, millimetre-wave radar, and full-colour low-light fisheye vision cameras — identifying thin wire obstacles including high-voltage transmission lines in darkness, through haze, through rain, and in the low-contrast conditions where camera-only sensing systems fail.

This level of detection capability is not an incremental improvement over previous enterprise platforms. It represents a fundamental change in how the aircraft understands its environment — enabling missions that were previously too hazardous to execute at the speeds and altitudes that make enterprise drone operations economically viable.

Aircraft Fusion Positioning

Combining rotating LiDAR, mmWave radar, and fisheye sensors, the aircraft builds a precise real-time picture of its surroundings — enabling stable flight in close proximity to glass-façade buildings, wind turbine blades, refinery columns, and the complex geometry of industrial infrastructure that defeats simpler sensing systems.

Full-Colour Vision Assist

Four full-colour low-light fisheye sensors mounted across the aircraft work continuously in the background, giving pilots a reliable safety layer during low-visibility operations, night flights, and any scenario where ambient lighting is insufficient for standard camera-based navigation.

Smart Detection

Thermal Intelligence Meets
Operational Precision

Paired with the Zenmuse H30 Series, the Matrice 400 processes both visual and thermal data simultaneously — identifying vehicles, vessels, and individuals across wide search areas as effectively on a standard patrol flight as on a dedicated search and rescue deployment.

Payload switching keeps the same airframe relevant across entirely different mission profiles without requiring a separate aircraft or extended ground turnaround between tasks. High-resolution automated grid capture and onboard subject tracking handle the data collection side without adding operator workload — allowing the pilot to focus on mission management rather than manually controlling every aspect of the aircraft.

Smart Detection

Identifies vehicles, vessels, and individuals in real time using combined visible and thermal imaging. Effective across wide open terrain, coastal environments, and complex urban scenes where visual-only detection is insufficient.

Automated high-resolution grid photography for systematic area coverage. Designed for large-scale search operations, disaster area documentation, and agricultural estate surveys where consistent, overlapping image coverage across the full mission area is required.

Subject tracking maintains lock automatically through zoom adjustments as distance and angle change. If the target moves out of view momentarily, the system reacquires without requiring the operator to reset or manually re-acquire — keeping focus on the mission rather than the controls.

Without modeling, operators can mark points on the remote controller screen, measure distances between points, and outline areas to calculate size. Results can be synchronized to DJI FlightHub 2 to improve team efficiency.

Ready

Ready for Extremes

From desert heat to coastal humidity, Matrice 400 keeps delivering.

Field operations rarely happen in ideal conditions.

The Matrice 400 carries an IP55 protection rating, covering it against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets meaning it stays operational through dusty environments, coastal humidity, and light to moderate rain without interrupting the mission.

Its temperature operating range runs from -20°C up to 50°C.

The upper limit is directly relevant to operations in high-temperature environments where summer ambient temperatures regularly exceed what most electronic hardware tolerates. At 50°C, the Matrice 400 continues operating at full performance specification where lighter platforms begin thermal throttling or shut down entirely to protect internal components.

Mission continuity in challenging conditions.

The combination of IP55 sealing and a 70°C total operating range means the Matrice 400 does not need to be grounded when conditions deteriorate. For professional teams running scheduled inspection programmes, that operational continuity has direct commercial value, missions proceed on schedule regardless of weather, and equipment downtime caused by environmental conditions is eliminated.

Smart Detection

Intelligent Flight Modes

Advanced flight modes help the Matrice 400 fly with greater control, consistency, and mission-focused precision.

CRUISE

Cruise Mode

Consistent heading for long corridor missions

Cruise mode locks the Matrice 400 onto a set flight direction without requiring continuous stick input, freeing the pilot to focus entirely on payload monitoring during long corridor runs or extended linear inspection routes.

Best For

Powerline inspection, pipeline right-of-way patrol, and missions where the aircraft needs to hold a consistent heading over distance while the operator manages sensor data collection.

AR Features

See the Hazard Before

00:00 / 00:00

Power Line AR

When flying power grid inspection routes, the obstacle sensing system identifies frontal wire hazards in real time and overlays clearly visible AR markers directly onto the remote controller screen, giving the pilot an immediate, unambiguous picture of what is ahead and where the safe flight path runs. This removes the ambiguity from one of the most hazardous aspects of infrastructure inspection flying.

Real-Time Wire Detection

Identifies power lines and frontal obstacles the moment they enter the flight path.

AR Hazard Markers

Overlays clear, unmistakable markers directly onto the controller screen.

Safe Path Guidance

Highlights a clear corridor around detected hazards as you fly.

Instant Pilot Alerts

Flags wire hazards early, before they become critical.

Terrain Follow and Ship Landing

Flight That Reads the Landscape

Terrain Follow

The Matrice 400 maintains a consistent height above ground across any horizontal flight direction available in both manual and fully automated route modes. Rather than flying at a fixed altitude from the takeoff point, the aircraft actively adjusts to the terrain beneath it throughout the entire flight.

For search and rescue coverage across varied terrain, this keeps subject sizes consistent on screen and eliminates the constant zoom corrections that slow operators down as ground elevation changes. For mapping missions, terrain following holds a steady ground sampling distance throughout the route directly improving the accuracy and consistency of the data collected across undulating or irregular terrain profiles.

Ship Landing

Offshore operations platform inspection, maritime patrol, coastal surveillance, and wind turbine maintenance demand a platform that can deploy and recover from a vessel without requiring it to stop. The Matrice 400 handles takeoff from stationary ships and landing on vessels that are actively moving, using deck pattern recognition to confirm position and execute accurate, controlled landings every time.

This capability removes the requirement for a dedicated static launch platform during offshore deployments extending the operational reach of any vessel-based operation without adding infrastructure or crew requirements.

Video Transmission

Video Transmission Built for Long-Range Operations

Live Feed
01

O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission System

The O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission System achieves image transmission up to 40 km, enabled by a ten-antenna array on the aircraft paired with a high-gain phased array antenna on the remote controller. The system maintains stable HD video and full command link across extended ranges, in environments with radio frequency interference, and across terrain where standard transmission systems experience signal degradation.

Relay Active
02

Airborne Relay Video Transmission

The Matrice 400 also carries a built-in airborne relay module. A second unit can be positioned at altitude to extend the effective operational range of the primary aircraft, a configuration that proves particularly useful in mountainous terrain, urban signal environments, and deep valley geography where line-of-sight transmission drops off rapidly. Two aircraft operating in relay configuration effectively double the controllable range without additional ground infrastructure.

Software

Software Designed for Industrial Operations

DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise Enhanced
DJI FlightHub 2

FlightHub 2 has been updated specifically around the Matrice 400, introducing cloud-based remote control that gives operators direct access to flight attitude, payload management, and live flight controls without being physically present at the aircraft. Remote takeoff and landing are handled through the same interface enabling operations centres to manage deployed aircraft from any internet-connected location. For organisations running multi-site drone programmes, FlightHub 2 provides the centralised operational visibility and control that makes fleet management practical at scale.
