A drone designed to observe and intervene on the ground

When it is necessary to examine a wooded area, monitor infrastructure, or search for a heat source, image quality and flight reliability make the difference.

The DJI Matrice 5T combines several observation tools into a compact aerial platform: high-resolution thermal imaging, visible cameras, long-distance zoom, laser rangefinder, and advanced obstacle detection systems.

Its IP55 design, advertised autonomy of up to 59 minutes, and ability to operate in negative temperatures allow for missions in varied conditions.

For professionals in land management, security, rescue, and inspection, it offers the ability to gather accurate information without having to physically access each observed area.


1K Thermal Camera: more details in the image


The Matrice 5T integrates a VOx uncooled infrared sensor thermal camera, with a native resolution of 1,280 × 1,024 pixels.

This definition represents four times the number of pixels of a 640 × 512 thermal sensor. It allows for a more detailed image and better distinguishes temperature variations in a complex scene.

The UHR Infrared Image mode allows reaching a resolution of 2,560 × 2,048 pixels through image processing.

On the ground, this capability is particularly useful for examining an area from a distance, locating thermal anomalies, or supporting search operations.

Night vision and zoom: observe without getting closer


The DJI Matrice 5T combines three complementary visible cameras:

50 MP wide-angle camera, with a 1/0.98 inch CMOS sensor and f/1.8 aperture.

50 MP medium telephoto lens, with 3× optical zoom.

50 MP long-range telephoto lens, with 11× optical zoom and hybrid zoom up to 176×.

The wide-angle camera also benefits from image processing designed for low light conditions, with a sensitivity of up to ISO 1,600,000.

The telephoto lens features a monochrome night vision function.

This combination allows for transitioning from a broad view to a more targeted observation, without multiplying the drone's movements.



LiDAR, radar, and vision: better perception of the environment


The Matrice 5T combines several perception systems:

A 360° rotating LiDAR.

Forward, upward, and downward facing millimeter-wave radars.

A multidirectional vision system.

These sensors help detect obstacles and assist piloting, especially in certain low-light environments or difficult-to-analyze situations with conventional cameras.

The system can particularly help identify fine elements, such as certain cables, within the detection limits announced by DJI.

However, it does not exempt the pilot from monitoring their environment and adhering to flight procedures.

Autonomy, IP55 protection, and transmission: ready for extended missions


The DJI Matrice 5T claims up to 59 minutes of flight time, under the testing conditions defined by the manufacturer, and up to 54 minutes in a stationary position.

Its IP55 rating indicates protection against dust and water splashes, without making the device completely waterproof.

It is designed to operate between -20 °C and +50 °C, which expands the possibilities for use throughout the seasons.

The DJI O4 Enterprise Enhanced transmission boasts a theoretical range of up to 20 km according to CE standards, in clear conditions and without interference. This value does not correspond to an automatically authorized flight distance.

The drone also integrates relay functions and cellular connectivity for certain operational configurations.

For what uses?

Observation and management of the territory

The Matrice 5T can assist professionals in observing large areas, examining hard-to-reach zones, and monitoring certain natural environments.

The thermal and optical combination allows for multiple readings of the same environment.

Research and location

During an authorized search mission, thermal imaging can help locate heat sources, while optical cameras allow for a more precise examination of the area in question.

Thermal detection remains dependent on terrain conditions, vegetation, distance, and temperature variations.

Surveillance and inspection

The zoom, laser rangefinder, and high-resolution cameras allow for observing buildings, equipment, or infrastructure from an appropriate aerial position.

Low light missions

The thermal camera, night vision, and piloting assistance sensors enable operations to be prepared in challenging lighting conditions, subject to necessary authorizations and procedures.

Important: the possibilities for using the drone, particularly at night or in the context of hunting activities, depend on the applicable regulations. Owning a thermal drone does not automatically permit all uses.
