  Improved video streaming system

  Matrice 300 RTK has a completely new digital video streaming technology "OcuSync Enterprise", which provides 3-channel video transmission from the drone FPV camera at a distance up to 15 km, in 1080p quality. Coupled with the ability to automatically switch between 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz in real time, the system allows you to confidently fly in high interference environments. The system tandem closes with the AES-256 data encryption algorithm (128 bit block size, 128/192/256 bit key), which is responsible for the secure transfer of all outgoing data, which is what all corporate users need more than ever.

  

  Max. FPV distance is relevant for the FCC standard (in the frequency range of 5.8GHz), in an interference-free area. For Russia, only the 2.4 GHz frequency range is available, which significantly reduces the max. removal threshold from 15 km to 8 km. Control the drone within visual range, except in cases in which it is allowed to fly outside of it. Observe local laws and regulations.

  3-channel video streaming is available only in dual remote control mode.

  

  Improved flight performance

  The second generation Matrice series drone has an improved frame design and a new, more efficient the power plant, which at the output provided the M300 with a more efficient and stable flight even in harsh conditions. In the list of key flight characteristics that have received an increase in comparison with of the previous Matrice series

  

  The maximum ceiling above sea level of 7000 meters is possible using special propellers 2195. On standard propellers 2110, the drone can be operated at an altitude not higher than 5000 m.

  Smart Modes and Features

  Live Mission Recording

  manual flight / inspections, such as the movement of the drone, the position of the gimbal with the camera, photography and the image zoom level, in order to subsequently create mission files for future re-flight, but already in a fully automatic mode.

  AI Spot-Check

  This feature allows you to automate your inspections and get consistent results from each departure. In other words, the user can use this function if long-term observation / monitoring of a specific object is required. After an object of interest is identified, the onboard AI always recognizes it and identifies it in subsequent automatic missions, providing at the output a sequential photographic material about the state of this object at the time of each departure.

  This feature is only supported when the Zenmuse H20 payload is used on the drone.

  Waypoints 2.0

  The second generation of automatic flight mode and survey by preset coordinates. Allows you to create up to 65,535 waypoints and define a series of actions for one or more payloads, including third-party ones, for each waypoint. Flight path planning is also optimized to maximize the flexibility and efficiency of your missions.

  PinPoint

  The function allows in one tap to determine the current coordinates of the object of interest in the field of view of the drone camera, both in FPV mode and in map mode. By tapping on the object on the display, advanced algorithms will take readings from the complex of sensors and instantly calculate its coordinates, which will be reflected in each camera display mode in the form of separate augmented reality windows. The location of the object will automatically be transferred to another remote controller or to a web based control center such as DJI FlightHub.

  Support for sharing object location coordinates between the drone and DJI FlightHub will be available soon.

  Smart Track

  The function allows you to identify and track moving objects such as people, vehicles and watercraft, where the operator can use the auto zoom for a better view. The coordinates of a moving object are continuously logged and transmitted to a second remote or DJI FlightHub.

  These functions are only supported when the Zenmuse H20 payload is used on the drone.

  DJI Smart Controller Enterprise

  M300 RTK has received a redesigned version of the handheld remote controller " DJI Smart Controller" adapted for the functionality of a new commercial drone, in the name of which an additional word has appeared that separates it from the standard version - DJI Smart Controller Enterprise. The control equipment is also equipped with a 5.5-inch ultra-bright (up to 1000 cd / m²) FHD display, but works already on the pre-installed application for commercial UAVs - DJI Pilot, and also supports third-party applications. Equipped with an HDMI port and a slot for microSD memory cards. Supports the control mode of two consoles, and the installation of an additional external battery for the implementation of longer missions without recharging.

  

  Aviation Level Situational Awareness

  To ensure safe piloting, a so-called Primary Flight Display (PFD) was used, which integrates information about flight, navigation and obstacle course to provide the pilot with exceptional situational awareness.

  Flight Information

  Flight information includes data such as the position of the drone in space, altitude occupied, speed, and wind speed and direction.

  

  Navigation

  Navigation information includes direction of flight, flight path, PinPoint coordinates and take-off point projection. And also for complete information content, nearby obstacles are reflected.

  

  Advanced Dual Operator Mode

  This mode allows you to take control of the drone or payload with one tap. This option adds new opportunities for the implementation of strategic missions, as well as increases flexibility during operations.

  Security and reliability

  Powerful vision system

  To ensure maximum flight safety and stability, the M300RTK has dual vision sensors on each side, working in tandem with the ToF system sensors. The maximum obstacle detection range of the sensor complex is up to 40 m, the sensitivity of which can be adjusted via the DJI Pilot mobile app. The developer clarifies that the 6-way positioning and obstacle recognition system is able to ensure safe mission execution even in difficult operating conditions.

  

  Professional maintenance of the UAV fleet

  troubleshooting guide. The system also includes flight logs, the duration and total mileage of the UAV for the entire period of operation, as well as recommendations for care and maintenance. For details on reference.

  

  Redundant systems

  auxiliary systems and fail-safe modes of operation.

  

  This list includes:

  • 2 × EMU
  • 2 × Barometers
  • 2 × RTK GLONASS antennas module
  • 2 × Compass
  • 6 × pairs of visual sensors
  • 6 × IR ToF sensors
  • Active system of auxiliary 60Hz lighting above and below the drone with effective lighting distance 5m. Automatically turn on in low light conditions to ensure reliable operation of the sensor vision system
  • Failover PWM - UART: Pulse width modulation (PWM) signals are used by default for communication between the flight controller and the ESC. In the unlikely event that they become unavailable, the Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART) channel will take over the exchange of critical control signals at a stable and secure level.
  • 2 × battery
  • Automatic switching to the channel with the least interference
  • Dual Remote Controller mode - allows each of the two operators to quickly take control of the drone and payload in the event of a loss communication between the operator's console controlling the drone.
  • Possibility of emergency landing in case of failure of one of the four motors or Three Propeller Emergency Landing Mode
  • If the main payload camera is not working, the FPV camera will continue to work.
  • DJI AirSense Technology: The M300 RTK is equipped with an ADS-B receiver that enhances the safety of airspace by providing the operator with real-time information about aircraft within 20 km, including their location, altitude, course and speed. In the event of an approach to other air traffic participants, a message is sent to the pilot in real time to the DJI Pilot app, which allows him to quickly make informed decisions to avoid emergency situations. More details at reference.

  Three Propeller Emergency Landing Mode

  On any drone, the flight controller works continuously. One of its key tasks is to ensure a stable flight. To do this, it constantly interacts with the onboard sensor system to ensure that the drone is aligned, and also constantly monitors the speed of all engines. Through electronic speed control (ESC), it continuously accelerates and decelerates the motors to ensure that the drone is constantly stabilized in the air. These system checks are performed several hundred times per second, with minute adjustments occurring systematically.

  The flight controller and other specialized software algorithms of the Matrice 300 RTK now do something completely new and unprecedented for a DJI drone: if the system senses that one of the drone's motors is not providing the required power or is rotating at insufficient speed, causing Most of the stability issues, the flight controller puts the drone into emergency survival mode, designed to safely lower the car on three motors, in which the pilot can manually guide the Matrice 300 RTK to a safer landing place. For details on how the Three Propeller Emergency Landing mode works, see here.

  Optional Accessories

  If necessary, the developer offers corporate users the ability to retrofit the current drone configuration with additional accessories that will allow more efficient operation of the M300 RTK.
