Safety Features
The DJI M400 is equipped with a range of integrated safety mechanisms. These include:
- Horizontal rotating LiDAR, with a point frequency of 520,000 points per second and a field of view of 360° (horizontal) and 58° (vertical).
- Six-directional mmWave radar.
- Colour fisheye vision system that provides colour-assisted flight images for safe operations.
- Top LiDAR.
- Downward 3D infrared sensing system.
This robust safety suite significantly enhances the drone's obstacle sensing capability; it allows for the detection of thin and small power lines, even in low light conditions or at night; and provides stable performance in all conditions, including rain, fog, or limited visibility.
Essentially, they combine to provide the drone with 24/7 obstacle detection, as shown in the table below.
| Feature | Safety Benefit |
|---|---|
| LiDAR | Detects small obstacles, such as power cables.
Reliable positioning in denied or weak GNSS signal conditions. Excels in long-range detection. Stable performance in varying light conditions. |
| Radar | Wide detection range.
Penetrates fog, rain, and snow: ideal for operations in low visibility conditions. Quickly provides real-time distance and speed data. |
| Colour Fisheye | Longer detection range.
High light sensitivity object detection in daylight. Captures complex visual features, such as colour, shape, and texture, for improved object recognition. Supports visual positioning in denied GNSS conditions. |
This is an effective package of features that significantly enhances safety.
For example, flying at 25 m/s, the drone can detect and avoid primary power lines (21.6 mm) when flying directly towards them, while at 17 m/s, it can detect and avoid primary (21.6 mm) and secondary (12 mm) lines.
Operators can also benefit from the drone's brake and obstacle avoidance mode.
In addition, the M400 is equipped with a range of additional safety features.
| Safety Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Arm Lock Detection | If the sleeves are not correctly locked, a notification will be displayed on the Pilot 2 app, and the aircraft will not take off. |
| Battery Lock Sensor | If the flight battery is not correctly installed, a notification will be displayed on the Pilot 2 app, and the aircraft will not take off. |
| Anti-Collision Beacon | The drone is equipped with two anti-collision beacons to improve night visibility. |
| Three-Propeller Emergency Landing | In the event of a motor failure, the aircraft can automatically enter a three-propeller emergency landing mode. The aircraft will rotate quickly and descend slowly.
Please note: takeoff weight: ≤10.8 kg; flight height: ≥80 m. |
| AirSense ADS-B Receiver | Collects flight data automatically sent by nearby aircraft equipped with ADS-B transmitters, analysing it to detect potential collision risks and alert users in advance via the Pilot 2 app. |
Enhanced Transmission
The DJI M400 features the advanced O4 Enterprise transmission system, supporting video transmission up to 20 km (CE, as well as SRRC and MIC) or an impressive 40 km (FCC), for increased stability, improved signal strength, and more reliable feeds.
The aircraft features a 10-antenna system and a high-gain phased array antenna system on the remote controller, and also supports video transmission in the sub-2G frequency band. Please note that the sub-2G band may vary by region.
Operators can also benefit from two enhanced 4G transmission modules. When equipped with two DJI Cellular Dongle 2s, the M400 can automatically switch to the best available network, providing a more stable signal in urban environments with interference or in remote regions.
In addition, the M400 can be used as part of an aerial transmission system.
In this scenario, an M400 can act as a repeater drone, flying at high altitude to provide relay signals to another M400 operating at a greater distance.
This significantly extends the transmission range: ideal for search and rescue missions or inspections in mountainous areas.
The workflow is as follows:
- Complete the connection setup between the mission drone and the repeater drone on the ground.
- Worker drone: displays the relay drone's battery level, RTH time, transmission signal, and relative position.
- Relay Drone: displays the distance and direction to the mission drone in real-time.
The table below provides an overview of which aircraft in the DJI Enterprise ecosystem can be used as worker and relay drones.
| Worker drone | Worker drone | Worker drone | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Relay Drone | M400 | M4 | M4D |
| M400 | ✓ | ✓ | X |
| M4D | Coming soon | ✓ | ✓ |
Robust Performance in Harsh Weather
