DJI Dock 4 – Always There. Always Ready.

Next-generation autonomous drone operations with rapid battery swapping, advanced aerial imaging and intelligent remote deployment.

The DJI Dock 4 represents a significant advancement in autonomous drone technology, combining automated battery swapping with the powerful DJI Matrice 5TD aircraft.

Designed for organisations requiring reliable, on-demand aerial capabilities, the Dock 4 enables drones to be deployed remotely, complete missions and return to their base with minimal on-site intervention.

With a battery swap completed in approximately 25 seconds, the system dramatically reduces the downtime associated with traditional dock-based charging, enabling more frequent deployments and greater operational flexibility.

Whether supporting emergency services, security operations, infrastructure inspection or remote monitoring, the DJI Dock 4 provides a powerful platform for automated aerial intelligence.

Key Features & Benefits

Rapid Automated Battery Swapping

The Dock 4 introduces an automated battery-swapping system capable of exchanging the Matrice 5TD’s battery in approximately 25 seconds.

By replacing depleted batteries rather than waiting for them to recharge, operators can significantly reduce the interval between missions, improving responsiveness and supporting demanding operational schedules.

Advanced Multi-Sensor Imaging

The DJI Matrice 5TD combines three visual cameras, a thermal imaging camera and a laser rangefinder, providing a versatile platform for observation, inspection and situational awareness.

Its imaging capabilities enable operators to capture detailed visual information, identify heat signatures and examine distant subjects without requiring the aircraft to approach unnecessarily closely.

Extended Flight Endurance

With a maximum flight time of up to 59 minutes under specified test conditions, the Matrice 5TD offers the endurance required for extended monitoring, inspections and operational deployments.

Combined with the Dock 4’s automated battery management, this enables organisations to undertake repeated missions with substantially reduced downtime.

Intelligent Remote Operations

Integration with DJI FlightHub 2 enables operators to plan missions, manage deployments, monitor aircraft and access aerial imagery remotely.

Automated flight routes, intelligent mission management and AI-assisted workflows help reduce repetitive tasks while providing operators with greater control over their aerial operations.

Designed for Demanding Environments

The Dock 4 features a weather-resistant enclosure designed to support deployments in challenging outdoor environments.

Integrated environmental monitoring and automated systems help maintain operational readiness while reducing the need for regular physical intervention.

Advanced Flight Safety

The Matrice 5TD incorporates multiple obstacle-sensing technologies to support safer navigation in complex environments.

Additional safety capabilities, including the supplied parachute system, provide further options for managing operational risks.

DJI O4 Ground Station

The DJI Dock 4 package includes the DJI O4 Ground Station, providing an essential communications link between the aircraft and its operating environment.

Designed to support reliable video transmission and remote aircraft control, the O4 Ground Station helps maintain dependable connectivity during automated missions.

Its separate installation arrangement provides greater flexibility when positioning communications equipment, particularly at sites where buildings, terrain or other obstructions may affect signal coverage.

Combined with DJI FlightHub 2, the system enables operators to manage missions remotely, monitor aircraft status and access live aerial imagery.

Applications

Emergency Services & Public Safety

Rapidly deploy aerial assets to support incident assessment, search and rescue, emergency response and real-time situational awareness.

Security & Surveillance

Conduct scheduled perimeter patrols, respond to security alerts and provide remote aerial observation of sensitive locations.

Critical Infrastructure

Support routine inspection and monitoring of utilities, industrial facilities, transport networks and other critical infrastructure.

Remote Site Monitoring

Maintain aerial oversight of remote or difficult-to-access locations without requiring personnel to be permanently stationed on site.

DJI FlightHub 2 Integration

The DJI Dock 4 works with DJI FlightHub 2 to provide a centralised platform for managing automated drone operations.

Operators can schedule missions, monitor aircraft status, view live video feeds and access captured imagery through a unified interface.

AI-assisted functionality and automated workflows help organisations manage recurring operations more efficiently, while integration capabilities support the development of more specialised operational solutions.
