Product Description
DJI Dock 3 is a new generation docking station enabling fully autonomous drone operations without an on-site operator. The system works with DJI Matrice 4D and DJI Matrice 4TD drones and automates takeoff, landing, charging, and mission management — creating a complete system for monitoring, inspection, and BVLOS operations. As DJI's first station, it supports vehicle mounting, allowing for mobile field deployments.

Station protection rating
24/7 Autonomous Operations
- automatic drone takeoffs and landings
- remote mission management via DJI FlightHub 2
- cyclic inspections and real-time monitoring
- operation without an on-site operator
- charging and data transfer during transport (vehicle mounting)
Instant Operational Readiness
- drone takeoff in approx. 10 seconds thanks to advanced GNSS standby mode
- charging 15%→95% in approx. 27 minutes (Ready-to-Fly mode)
- charging to 100% in approx. 37 minutes (Standard mode)
- automatic mission rotation — minimal downtime between flights
Resistance to Harsh Conditions
- operating temperature: -30°C to +50°C (after preheating from -30°C)
- station protection rating: IP56 (Matrice 4D drone: IP55)
- operation in winds up to 12 m/s
- compressor cooling system (48V DC)
- cover and anemometer heating in winter conditions
The station is designed for operation in demanding environments — from energy infrastructure to industrial facilities and open terrain.
Mobility and Field Deployment
- vehicle mounting — the first such solution in DJI stations
- charging and data transfer while driving
- quick deployment in any location without fixed infrastructure
- automatic drone and gimbal securing after cover closure
Connectivity and Data Transmission
- 9 built-in antennas — stable transmission, intelligent switching
- Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbps — integration with IT infrastructure
- 4G with DJI Cellular Dongle 2 (sold separately)
- drone→station transmission latency: approx. 100 ms
Dock 3 ensures stable communication even in difficult terrain conditions, which is crucial for BVLOS operations.
Precise RTK Positioning
The built-in RTK module provides positioning accuracy H: 1 cm + 1 ppm / V: 2 cm + 1 ppm. The system can be extended with D-RTK 3, increasing the range and stability of operations up to 25 km.
Environmental Sensors and Monitoring
- external Full HD camera 1920×1080, FOV 151°, additional white lighting
- internal Full HD camera
- sensors: wind speed, rainfall, ambient temperature, humidity, flooding, cabin temperature
- lightning protection class II — 20 kA (EN 61643-11 Type 2)
Automation and DJI FlightHub 2
- route and mission planning from a web browser
- automatic change detection (vehicles, thermal anomalies)
- real-time monitoring and alerts
- drone fleet management
- EU servers (AWS Frankfurt) — GDPR compliant
- ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certificates
Applications
- infrastructure inspections (power lines, bridges, pipelines)
- monitoring of industrial facilities and areas
- public safety and rescue
- BVLOS and autonomous operations
- cartography and surveying
