Introducing the DJI Matrice 5T. Built for inspection, public safety and search & rescue.
The step up from the Matrice 4 series. 1K thermal, full-colour night vision, 176x hybrid zoom and a 3km laser rangefinder, with up to 59 minutes in the air and IP55 protection.

Built for the jobs that matter most to response teams: night searches, bad-weather callouts and the first minutes of an incident.
The low-light sensor means night jobs aren’t thermal-only. More missing persons found, better evidence, and covert work stays covert.
Compact and foldable, so it goes in a patrol car or SAR vehicle boot with the kit already in there. Every shift can carry one, no van or conversion needed.
IP55 means it’s available when it’s needed most. Bad weather is when people go missing.
Unfolds and is airborne in around 10 seconds. Faster time to eyes-on.
59 min flights and continuous 3-battery ops, so no gaps in overwatch.
3km rangefinder and 176x zoom to ID people and number plates from 400m without being seen and heard for covert ops.
Advancement for fire and rescue teams by identifying smoke and fire with new AI detection.
What’s new compared with the Matrice 4 series: reach further, see more, fly safer, work longer and do more on one airframe.
A 360-degree LiDAR with wire detection at 32m, front, up and down mmWave radar and full-colour omnidirectional vision, with IP55 weather protection.
Built-in AI recognises more than 20 types of object, including smoke and fire, open onboard computing runs third-party algorithms, and DJI FlightHub 2 adds multimodal detection.
1280×1024 thermal with Super Resolution, a full-colour wide night vision camera, up to 176x hybrid zoom and a 3km laser rangefinder.
Up to 40km of transmission with relay, alongside Sub-2G and dual 4G links. Relay links help route around signal obstructions.
Up to 59 minutes of flight and a top speed of 23 m/s, airborne around 10 seconds after power-on.
The AS2 Speaker with multi-colour strobe lights, the AL2 Spotlight with spot and flood modes, and an actively cooled 515W Charging Hub.
Electronic-shutter distortion correction in DJI Terra, centimetre accuracy without GCPs, 2D thermal mapping and in-flight modelling on the controller.
Takeoff and landing on stationary or moving vessels for maritime work, route planning with stable execution, and third-party plugins in DJI Pilot 2.
The Matrice 5T is built for the teams who rely on a thermal drone every shift, from police and fire services to inspection crews. It takes on emergency response, inspection and surveying from a single airframe.
With up to 59 minutes of flight and IP55 weather protection, it stays in the air longer and keeps flying when the weather turns. It is airborne around 10 seconds after power-on, so it is ready the moment a call comes in.

Wide, medium tele, telephoto and thermal cameras work alongside a 3km laser rangefinder, so a single flight moves from a wide search to a close look at the detail.
Everything about the Matrice 5T is designed to keep your team flying for longer and working safely in busy airspace.
A two-stage latch for safer operation, with charging at up to 2.3C.
Actively cooled fast charging keeps three batteries rotating for continuous operation in typical conditions.
Up to 59 minutes in the air and a top speed of 23 m/s for a fast response to incidents.
Built-in receivers alert pilots to nearby crewed aircraft and other drones, supporting safer flights in busy airspace.
Broadcast up to 400m at up to 120dB with multi-colour strobes, and light scenes in spot or flood mode, even directly overhead.
Rated IP55 for weather protection, so the aircraft stays ready when the job cannot wait.
A 360-degree LiDAR detects wires from up to 32m away, backed by mmWave radar facing forward, up and down. An omnidirectional vision system works in full colour.
Together they provide wire-level obstacle avoidance for safer flights in challenging conditions.
The Matrice 5T is designed around two kinds of work: responding to incidents, and inspecting the assets that keep things running.
Read number plates from around 400m with 176x hybrid zoom, and use the AS2 Speaker’s red and blue strobes and 120dB broadcast to manage scenes and direct traffic.
Onboard AI identifies smoke and fire in visible imagery, and the 3km laser rangefinder lets crews mark positions and measure the length and area of a fire front.
Airborne around 10 seconds after power-on, then search with 1K thermal and full-colour night vision. Share located positions instantly and guide casualties with the AL2 Spotlight and AS2 Speaker.
Route planning with stable execution and LiDAR wire detection at 32m, with telephoto, wide and thermal views together to spot defects.
Find heat sources with 1K thermal at four times the resolution, then share results through AI detection, inspection reports and 2D thermal mapping in DJI Terra.
Centimetre-level accuracy without ground control points, and in-flight modelling turns 200 photos into a map on the controller in around 8 minutes.
Moving to a new aircraft means choosing the right configuration, training your pilots and keeping the fleet in the air. We support each step, then stay with you once you are operational.
