DJI Dock 3 — 24/7 Autonomous Remote Drone Operations
DJI Dock 3 is the next-generation drone-in-a-box solution from DJI — and DJI’s first dock built to deploy on a moving vehicle. Engineered for round-the-clock operations across the toughest environments, Dock 3 launches and recovers the new DJI Matrice 4D and Matrice 4TD high-performance drones (sold separately), charges them from 15% to 95% in just 27 minutes, and streams every flight to DJI FlightHub 2 for fleet-scale, automated public safety, energy, inspection and mapping missions. IP56-rated, weatherproof from -30°C to 50°C, with 9 antennas of intelligent O4+ Enterprise transmission up to 25 km, lightning protection (AC 20 kA), a 12 Ah backup UPS and a built-in security camera array — Dock 3 is built to rise to any challenge.
Watch — Introducing DJI Dock 3
Master All Environments — IP56, -30°C to 50°C, 12 m/s Winds
Built for harsh, unattended deployment. With an IP56 protection rating, an operating temperature range from -30°C to 50°C, a maximum landing wind speed of 12 m/s and a max operating altitude of 4,500 m, Dock 3 is engineered to perform in the desert, on coastlines, in mountains and across industrial sites — without an operator on-site. Internal heating and a compressor-based air-conditioning system keep the drone bay within safe operating limits in any climate.
Vehicle-Mounted Deployment — A DJI First
For the first time, a DJI dock can be deployed on a moving vehicle. Patrol routes, mobile response units, mining haul roads, oil-and-gas service trucks — wherever the team goes, Dock 3 goes with them. A dedicated vehicle-mounted gimbal mount (IP55, -30°C to 50°C) keeps the system stable in transit, ready to launch on arrival. Drive in, deploy on site, recover the drone, drive out — the workflow that previously needed a fixed installation now runs from the back of a pickup.
Open the Cover, Ready to Fly
Open the dock cover and the drone is airborne in seconds. One-click takeoff, automated mission scheduling and an integrated wind-speed gauge, rainfall, ambient temperature and water-immersion sensors verify safe launch conditions every time. With 24/7 automatic relay hover, Dock 3 keeps continuous overwatch — one drone in the air, another charging at base, switching seamlessly.
Smart Tracking & AI Change Detection
Built-in AI follows people, vehicles and vessels in real time during search-and-rescue and patrol missions, with subject-locked smart tracking that keeps the camera framed on the target while the drone manoeuvres around obstacles. AI Change Detection compares before-and-after imagery on automated inspection routes to flag new defects, encroachments and anomalies — for crews to action without scrolling thousands of frames.
Ultra-Long Transmission — Up to 25 km, 20 MB/s
An advanced O4+ Enterprise video transmission system delivers a stable signal up to 25 km (FCC) and 20 MB/s downlink, with 9 built-in dock antennas and intelligent switching. Stream live HD video back to the operations centre and FlightHub 2 in parallel, with low-latency live broadcasting baked in. An optional DJI Cellular Dongle 2 adds 4G transmission for redundancy across the route, and the dock supports Ethernet and FlightHub 2 cloud connectivity in parallel.
Omnidirectional Obstacle Avoidance Radar
The Matrice 4 Obstacle Sensing Module combines rotating LiDAR and millimetre-wave radar — a 360° horizontal × 90° vertical detection envelope, with 100 m max detection range — for safe flight in built-up sites and at night. The aircraft adds omnidirectional binocular vision and a 3D infrared sensor on the underside for fine-grained, all-round obstacle sensing. Detects 12 mm steel-core power-line cables at up to 15 m/s of flight speed.
FlightHub 2 — Virtual Cockpit & Cloud Operations
Dock 3 is built around DJI FlightHub 2 — DJI’s cloud-based operations platform for live monitoring, virtual cockpit remote piloting, 3D mapping, fleet management, mission planning and team collaboration. Choose the public cloud version, FlightHub 2 On-Premises for air-gapped sites, or integrate via the DJI Cloud API. Pilots can also fly Dock 3 standalone with the DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise remote controller for ad-hoc missions.
High-Performance Matrice 4D / 4TD Drones
Dock 3 pairs with the new DJI Matrice 4D (three visual cameras with up to 112× hybrid zoom, lens defogging, integrated laser range finder up to 1,800 m) and DJI Matrice 4TD (visual + 640×512 thermal camera + NIR auxiliary light + laser range finder) — both with IP55 protection, up to 54 minutes flight time, 10 km operating radius, omnidirectional sensing and the same flight platform as the Matrice 4 Series. Smart Tracking, AI Detection, Power-Line Follow and one-click takeoff are all supported out of the box. Drones are sold separately.
Secure, Compliant & Backed by DJI Care Enterprise
Built-in lightning protection (AC 20 kA, Ethernet 10 kA), an integrated 12 Ah lead-acid backup battery providing over 4 hours of UPS coverage, and an open ecosystem via Cloud API, Mobile SDK and Payload SDK. Data security is certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 27701. Optional DJI Care Enterprise adds comprehensive fleet protection, free repairs and rapid replacement — backed by GulfNet Emirates’ UAE-based after-sales support, plus the 1-Year manufacturer warranty included with the Overseas Edition.
