1. Built for Harsh Environments
DJI Dock 3 is engineered to withstand extreme conditions, ensuring uninterrupted performance even in the toughest environments. It operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -20°C (-4°F) to 50°C (122°F), with a pre-heating function enabling functionality down to -30°C (-22°F).
Featuring an IP56-rated dock and IP55-rated protection for the Matrice 4D Series drones, both are dustproof and water-resistant. Additionally, the Matrice 4D Series is equipped with low-noise, anti-icing propellers, ensuring stable flights even in freezing rain or winds up to 12 m/s (27 mph). This exceptional reliability makes Dock 3 an ideal solution for renewable energy, maritime navigation monitoring, and mining operations, delivering year-round performance in all weather conditions.
2. Dual-Drone Rotation for Continuous Operations
DJI Dock 3 enables non-stop drone operations through its innovative dual-dock system. With two docks installed at a single site, drones can alternate between missions, eliminating downtime and ensuring operational continuity.
The intelligent task management system ensures safe transitions between drones using a collision-avoidance landing pattern. Cloud-based management via DJI FlightHub 2 allows remote task scheduling and monitoring, reducing the need for on-site personnel. These advanced features make it indispensable for industries requiring continuous aerial monitoring, such as security, energy facilities, and large-scale agriculture.
3. Vehicle-Mounted Mobile Deployment
DJI Dock 3 is DJI’s first docking station designed for vehicle-mounted mobile deployment, ideal for temporary use in dynamic scenarios like search-and-rescue missions, disaster relief, or long-range inspections.
Optimized for vehicle integration, Dock 3 supports horizontal calibration or cloud-based calibration via DJI FlightHub 2 for remote mission planning. This flexibility unlocks new possibilities for drone use in unpredictable environments.
4. Fixed Deployment with Extended Range
When paired with the fixed-deployment D-RTK 3 Relay, DJI Dock 3 enhances transmission capabilities for operations spanning up to 25 km. This technology ensures stable video and satellite communication, improving takeoff/landing reliability in complex environments like urban high-rises or remote areas.
The D-RTK 3 Relay can be mounted on rooftops or near communication towers to maximize signal quality, while ensuring full coverage in factories, mines, and agricultural sites—even in hard-to-reach or hazardous locations.
5. Compatibility with Matrice 4D Series & Standalone Use
DJI Dock 3 is fully integrated with the Matrice 4D and 4TD drones for precise, high-efficiency performance. These drones are waterproof and dustproof, offering extended flight times and seamless compatibility with the DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise for autonomous operations.
- Camera Capabilities:Equipped with the same high-performance cameras as the DJI Matrice 4 series, including wide-angle, medium-zoom, and 48MP optical zoom lenses.
- Flight Efficiency & Obstacle Sensing:Up to 47 minutes of hover time and 54 minutes of flight time, enhanced by LiDAR and millimeter-wave radar for detecting thin obstacles like power lines.
- Standalone Use with Aerial Relay:When paired with the DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise, the Matrice 4D/4TD supports aerial relay mode, where one drone acts as a communication hub to extend another drone’s range—ensuring smooth video transmission even without 4G or in obstructed environments.
6. Advanced Smart Features with DJI FlightHub 2
FlightHub 2 enhances drone management with AI-powered tools:
- Smart Recognition:Detects and captures objects, vehicles, and ships, with infrared temperature monitoring and real-time alerts.
- Smart Tracking:Tracks detected targets for efficient review and analysis.
- Change Detection:Analyzes periodic changes in designated areas, invaluable for environmental protection, disaster relief, and infrastructure monitoring.
Virtual Cockpit Control: The “Mouse Look” feature enables precise camera adjustments remotely.
7. Safety & Compliance
DJI prioritizes data security and flight safety:
- ISO 27001-Certified:FlightHub 2 meets the highest information security standards.
- Custom Permissions:An on-premise version of FlightHub 2 ensures offline data protection.
- Flight Termination System (FTS):Integrated into Dock 3 for compliance with MOC2511 and C6-Label (Europe) requirements.
8. Integrated Accessories for Enhanced Operations
Expand capabilities with DJI’s accessory ecosystem:
- Gimbal-Following Spotlight:Ideal for night missions.
- Loudspeaker:Broadcasts audio up to 300 meters.
- Obstacle Sensing:Combines LiDAR and millimeter-wave radar to detect wires as thin as 12 mm.
- DJI Cellular Dongle 2:Ensures stable 4G video transmission.
- DJI Power 1000:Fast and efficient charging.
9. Open System for Expanded Possibilities
DJI’s open platform supports third-party development:
- Intelligent Algorithm Developer:Tools for custom AI model training.
- Cloud API:Enables integration with external systems via MQTT.
- Custom Payloads:Supports add-ons like parachutes, advanced sensors, or additional gimbals via E-Port or PSDK.
Versatile Applications
DJI Dock 3 revolutionizes drone operations across industries:
- Public Safety:Emergency response, disaster monitoring, crowd management.
- Agriculture:Crop management, irrigation planning, pest control.
- Energy:Remote inspections of solar farms, wind turbines, and pipelines.
- Construction:Site surveying, 3D mapping, infrastructure inspections.
- Transportation:Bridge inspections, traffic monitoring, maintenance planning.
