DJI Matrice 4TD with RC Plus 2 Enterprise Enhanced Controller: reliable thermal and high-resolution imaging drone platform

The DJI Matrice 4TD is an enterprise-grade aerial platform designed for operations that demand visibility, endurance, and reliability in challenging environments. Built for public safety, infrastructure inspection, and remote monitoring, the Matrice 4TD integrates high-resolution visual imaging, thermal sensing, and advanced obstacle awareness into a single IP55-rated aircraft.

This standalone configuration includes the RC Plus 2 Enhanced Controller, delivering a rugged control solution for field deployment where weather, terrain, and signal continuity cannot be compromised.

• Thermal still photos support Normal and UHR Infrared Image modes.
• Night Scene mode improves situational awareness during nighttime operations.
• Near-infrared auxiliary lighting supports visual clarity in dark conditions.
• Up to 47 minutes of maximum flight time supports extended missions.
• Wire detection identifies 12 mm obstacles at speeds up to 15 m/s.
• 80° upward gimbal tilt enables under-bridge and overhead structure inspection.
• IP55-rated airframe supports operation in rain, fog, and dust.

Integrated multi-sensor imaging for low-visibility operations

The Matrice 4TD integrates three 48 MP visual cameras with an infrared thermal camera to support observation across multiple distances and lighting conditions. The thermal system outputs 640 × 512 video at 30 fps under normal operation, with support for 1280 × 1024 video at 30 fps when the Ultra-High Resolution Infrared Image function is enabled and Night Scene mode is disabled.

For still photography, the thermal camera supports both Normal Mode and UHR Infrared Image Mode, allowing operators to capture single or timed thermal images based on mission requirements.

Endurance, safety, and mission reliability in harsh environments

With up to 47 minutes of maximum flight time, the Matrice 4TD supports extended missions without frequent battery changes. Its obstacle sensing system is designed to detect wires as small as 12 mm while flying at speeds up to 15 m/s, supporting safer operation near utilities and infrastructure.

The 80° upward gimbal tilt enables direct inspection of bridge undersides and overhead structures, while IP55 protection allows continued operation in rain, fog, and dusty conditions common in real-world deployments.

Applications

• Public safety response: thermal and visual assessment during emergencies.
• Infrastructure inspection: powerlines, bridges, towers, and industrial assets.
• Search and rescue: heat detection and long-duration overwatch missions.
• Night operations: visual and thermal coverage after dark.
• Remote monitoring: reliable operation in weather-affected environments.
• Utility inspection: obstacle-aware flight near wires and structures.
• Disaster assessment: post-event damage evaluation in hazardous conditions.
• Perimeter security: long-endurance patrol and observation missions.
• Powerline and substation inspections with advanced LiDAR support
