DJI Dock 3 + Matrice 4TD

DJI Dock 3 + Matrice 4TD: Thermal-Capable Autonomous Drone System, Ready to Deploy

The DJI Dock 3 and Matrice 4TD bundle delivers a complete, flight-ready autonomous aerial system in a single purchase. The Dock 3 is DJI's third-generation drone-in-a-box enclosure — IP56-rated, compressor air-conditioned, and operable from -22°F to 122°F (-30°C to 50°C) — paired with the Matrice 4TD, the thermal-imaging variant of DJI's Matrice 4D Series.

Together they form a fully integrated system capable of automated 24/7 operations: the dock handles launching, landing, charging from 15% to 95% in 27 minutes, and fleet coordination through DJI FlightHub 2, while the Matrice 4TD brings a 640 x 512 thermal camera, a 48 MP wide-angle camera, a 48 MP medium tele camera, a 48 MP tele camera, and a laser rangefinder capable of measuring targets at up to 5,905 ft (1,800 m).

For public safety agencies, inspection teams, and emergency response organizations that need thermal aerial intelligence on demand, this bundle removes the configuration and sourcing steps from deployment.

For teams that also need the system fully mobile without a vehicle retrofit, the ArgusHawk Autonomous Aerial Response Trailer houses this same Dock 3 configuration in a self-powered trailer.

The Matrice 4TD is not limited to dock-based operations. Equipped with DJI O4+ Enterprise transmission and a maximum transmission range of 15.5 miles (25 km) under FCC standards, it can also be flown manually using the DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise remote controller (sold separately) for field deployments where dock infrastructure is not available.

IP55 ingress protection and low-noise anti-ice propellers maintain stable flight in rain, dust, and winds up to 12 m/s. With up to 54 minutes of forward flight and a 10 km operating radius when paired with the Dock 3, the Matrice 4TD is built to cover the range that critical operations require.

Dock 3 and Matrice 4TD Features and Benefits

• Bundle includes: DJI Dock 3 enclosure and DJI Matrice 4TD aircraft in a single purchase.
• Thermal imaging: 640 x 512 uncooled thermal camera covers -40°F to 1,022°F measurement range.
• Multi-sensor aircraft: 48 MP wide-angle, 48 MP medium tele, and 48 MP tele cameras integrated.
• Laser rangefinder: measures targets at normal incidence up to 5,905 ft (1,800 m).
• IP56 dock: dust and water resistance rated for permanent outdoor installation in harsh conditions.
• 27-minute charge: Matrice 4TD battery recharged from 15% to 95% for rapid mission turnaround.
• 54-minute flight time: maximum forward flight endurance supports extended coverage area missions.
• Vehicle-mounted deployment: Dock 3 supports mobile installation on pickup trucks for the first time.
• Compressor-based AC: active heating and cooling keeps aircraft ready from -22°F to 122°F.
• FlightHub 2 integration: cloud-based mission scheduling, live thermal feed, and remote fleet management.

A Complete Thermal Operations System Out of the Box

Sourcing a dock and a compatible aircraft separately introduces configuration risk — firmware compatibility, linking procedures, site calibration, and cloud platform setup all have to be verified before a system is mission-ready.

This bundle eliminates that risk by pairing the Dock 3 and Matrice 4TD as a confirmed, factory-matched system. The Matrice 4TD's thermal camera is the operational differentiator in this configuration: it sees through conditions that defeat visible-light sensors, maps heat signatures across fire boundaries, identifies heat sources in complete darkness, and provides temperature measurement data accurate to ±2°C that inspection teams can act on directly.

Combined with the Dock 3's automated launch and recovery cycle, this system supports thermal monitoring missions that run on schedule, without crew pre-positioning, across the full operating temperature envelope of both the dock and the aircraft.

Compatibility and System Integration

• DJI Dock 3: automated launch, landing, charging, and FlightHub 2 mission management enclosure.
• DJI Matrice 4TD: IP55, anti-ice propellers, 54-minute flight time, integrated RTK, 10 km operating radius.
• DJI Matrice 4D Series Battery: 6,768 mAh, 149.9 Wh, 400-cycle rated, low-temperature self-heating.
• DJI FlightHub 2: cloud mission scheduling, live view, RTK calibration, and fleet coordination.
• DJI Cloud API: enables integration with third-party and private enterprise cloud platforms.
• DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise: pairs with Matrice 4TD for standalone manual deployment (sold separately).
• DJI Cellular Dongle 2: optional 4G connectivity for dock and aircraft (sold separately).
• D-RTK 3 Relay Fixed Deployment Version: extends GNSS and video transmission for tower or building installations (sold separately). 
• AL1 Spotlight: 32 W, IP55, 4.3 lux at 328 ft (100 m), compatible with Matrice 4TD for illumination support (sold separately).
• AS1 Speaker: 15 W, IP55, 984 ft (300 m) broadcast range, compatible with Matrice 4TD (sold separately).

Applications and Use Cases

• Firefighting support: thermal camera maps active fire boundaries and heat signatures in real time.
• Emergency search and rescue: thermal imaging locates heat sources and subjects in total darkness.
• Law enforcement surveillance: automated nighttime thermal patrol without crew pre-positioning.
• Power line and substation inspection: thermal camera identifies hot spots and fault signatures on infrastructure.
• Oil and gas facility monitoring: persistent thermal coverage of pipelines and processing facilities.
• Security and perimeter patrol: scheduled FlightHub 2 missions maintain thermal coverage of critical sites.
• Disaster response: vehicle-mounted dock repositions the system to active incident zones as conditions change.
• Industrial site inspection: thermal data captures equipment anomalies across manufacturing and energy facilities.

This bundle was assembled for operators who need a thermal drone-in-a-box system that works from day one, not a collection of components that still requires integration work before the first flight. The Dock 3 and Matrice 4TD are built and validated as a pair, and this listing delivers both in a single order.
