LiDAR and Radar Obstacle Sensing

The DJI Matrice 5T uses an advanced obstacle sensing system that combines three technologies: LiDAR, mmWave radar and omnidirectional vision sensors.

Together, these systems improve the aircraft’s ability to detect obstacles in complex flight environments.

Furthermore, each sensing method offers different benefits. This allows the aircraft to gather more information about nearby objects and structures.

Rotating LiDAR

The integrated rotating LiDAR system scans the surrounding area to detect obstacles.

It provides 360-degree horizontal coverage and helps identify objects that conventional vision sensors may struggle to detect.

For example, LiDAR can assist with detecting certain powerlines, cables and narrow structures.

Under DJI’s specified test conditions, the system can detect certain powerlines at distances of up to 32 metres.

As a result, operators gain an additional layer of awareness when working around electrical infrastructure.

mmWave Radar

The Matrice 5T also includes mmWave radar sensors that monitor the area around the aircraft.

Unlike standard optical sensors, radar uses radio waves to detect nearby objects. Therefore, it can provide useful sensing data when visibility is reduced.

In addition, radar helps support obstacle detection during operations involving dust, mist and light rain.

However, weather conditions and the size of an obstacle can still affect detection performance.

Omnidirectional Vision Sensors

Multiple vision sensors provide further obstacle awareness and support aircraft positioning.

These sensors work alongside LiDAR and radar to help the Matrice 5T identify objects in its flight path.

Consequently, operators benefit from a more complete obstacle sensing system when flying around buildings, bridges and industrial facilities.

Obstacle sensing does not replace careful flight planning or pilot awareness. Detection performance depends on environmental conditions, obstacle characteristics and aircraft settings.

Up to 59 Minutes Flight Time

The DJI Matrice 5T offers a maximum flight time of up to 59 minutes under DJI’s specified test conditions.

This extended endurance allows operators to spend more time collecting data and less time changing batteries.

For example, a single flight can cover a larger inspection area or allow additional time to examine important assets.

Furthermore, the aircraft supports a maximum hover time of up to 54 minutes. This is particularly useful when monitoring a fixed location or carrying out detailed inspections.

The intelligent flight battery also supports efficient charging and battery management.

As a result, professional teams can plan longer missions and improve their daily workflow.

Actual flight time will vary depending on wind, temperature, flight speed, payload and operating conditions.

IP55 Weather Protection – Built for Demanding Conditions
