DJI Dock 3 | Autonomous Drone-in-a-Box for Matrice 4D & 4TD

World's First Vehicle-Mountable Dock

The Dock 3 is the first DJI drone dock designed for vehicle mounting — enabling mobile autonomous operations anywhere you can drive. Deploy rapidly to remote sites, disaster response areas, or rotating patrol routes without permanent infrastructure investment. A standard mounting interface makes installation on trucks, trailers, and UTVs straightforward.

Fully Autonomous Mission Cycles

Schedule recurring missions in DJI FlightHub 2 and the Dock 3 executes them automatically — including pre-flight checks, launch, mission flight, return, precision landing on the pad, and battery recharging. No pilot required on-site. Operators can monitor live video feeds and real-time telemetry from anywhere with an internet connection.

IP55 All-Weather Protection

IP55 dust and water resistance means the Dock 3 operates reliably through rain, dust, and demanding environmental conditions common across US deployment sites. The integrated environmental controls keep the interior temperature and humidity within safe operating ranges, protecting the drone between missions around the clock.

Extreme Temperature Operation

Operating across a range of -31°F to 122°F (-35°C to 50°C), the Dock 3 is engineered for the full range of US climate conditions — from sub-zero winters in the northern plains to summer heat in the southwest. Internal heating and cooling systems maintain optimal battery and electronics temperatures regardless of ambient conditions.

DJI FlightHub 2 Cloud Management

DJI FlightHub 2 is the command-and-control platform for the Dock 3 — providing mission planning, scheduling, live video streaming, fleet management, and data storage in one cloud-based interface. Manage multiple Dock 3 units and drone assets across distributed US sites from a single dashboard, with role-based access for teams of any size.

Matrice 4D & 4TD Compatible

The Dock 3 is purpose-built for the DJI Matrice 4D (survey and mapping) and Matrice 4TD (thermal inspection) — two of the most capable enterprise drones DJI has ever produced. Both aircraft share the Dock 3's precision landing system, automatic battery charging interface, and FlightHub 2 integration for seamless end-to-end autonomous workflows.

Power utilities, pipeline operators, and rail companies across the US are deploying the Dock 3 for recurring infrastructure inspection. Scheduled daily or weekly flights along fixed corridors detect anomalies, vegetation encroachment, and structural changes automatically — without a pilot deployed to the field for every mission.

Industrial facilities, ports, critical infrastructure, and large campuses use the Dock 3 with the Matrice 4TD's thermal camera to run 24/7 perimeter patrol missions. Detect intrusions, monitor access points, and respond to alarms in real time — all managed from a central security operations centre, no on-site drone crew required.

Survey firms running recurring site monitoring — construction progress, stockpile volumes, landfill monitoring — deploy the Dock 3 with the Matrice 4D to automate regular overflights. The same site gets mapped on a fixed schedule without any crew mobilisation, generating consistent datasets for change detection and volumetric analysis.

The Dock 3's vehicle-mounting capability makes it an ideal rapid-deployment asset for first responders and emergency management teams. Drive to an incident scene, deploy the dock, and immediately begin flying persistent aerial reconnaissance — providing situational awareness for fire, flood, search and rescue, and hazmat operations across any US terrain.
