Matrice 350 RTK - Thermal Package
DJIThe DJI Matrice 350 RTK (M350 RTK) is DJI's current flagship enterprise multirotor drone, succeeding the M300 RTK. It is a professional-grade platform designed for inspection, surveying, mapping, public safety, and thermal/LiDAR data collection, supporting up to three simultaneous payloads (max 2.7 kg) including thermal cameras (Zenmuse H30T, H30), LiDAR (L2, L3), and photogrammetry sensors (P1). Key hardware features include IP55 weather resistance, -20°C to 50°C operating range, 55-minute max flight time, hot-swap TB65 dual batteries, 20 km O3 Enterprise transmission, and centimeter-level RTK positioning. The system executes autonomous waypoint missions via DJI Pilot 2 with a human pilot supervising and able to intervene, placing it firmly in the Supervised-Autonomous category for its primary data-collection tasks. Pricing ranges from approximately $14,814 USD for a base combo to over $30,000 USD for advanced thermal/LiDAR bundles.

Evidence-graded claims from the DJI deep report
DJI holds 70–80% of the global civil drone market and approximately 96% of the U.S. market (pre-FCC restrictions).
Multiple independent analyses and research sources [10][13][16] corroborate DJI's dominant market position, though the 96% U.S. figure is pre-restriction and current share post-FCC action is unverified.
from DJI deep report →The DJI Robomaster S1 supports full onboard autonomy via a ROS2-based stack, including zero-shot sim-to-real multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) policy transfer.
An independent academic paper from the University of Cambridge [21] confirms the Robomaster S1 was used as a customized research platform running a ROS2-based full onboard autonomy stack with successful sim-to-real MARL transfer, though this reflects research-lab capability, not a commercial product claim.

DJI claims the Lito X1 and Lito 1 feature omnidirectional obstacle sensing active down to 5 lux, and the Matrice 400 features power-line-level obstacle sensing.
Specs are sourced from DJI's own press releases [12] and official enterprise blog [7]; no independent third-party lab test or field validation of the 5-lux omnidirectional sensing or power-line detection performance has been identified in the dossier.
from DJI deep report →The DJI FlyCart 100 is a commercially deployed all-in-one intelligent drone delivery system.
The FlyCart 100 is listed on DJI's official website [1] as a product, but the dossier contains no independent evidence of commercial-scale deployment, customer outcomes, or regulatory approval for delivery operations in any jurisdiction.

DJI's Return-to-Home (RTH) and autonomous safety features are reliable across its consumer drone lineup.
Multiple independent community reports [30][31][33][35] document RTH failures, remote controller transmission failures at low altitude, and tracking failures in forested environments, directly contradicting vendor marketing of reliable autonomous safety features.
from DJI deep report →DJI has deployed 600,000+ agricultural drones across 100+ countries, saving 410 million tons of water and cutting 51 million tons of CO2 emissions.
These figures originate exclusively from a DJI Agriculture press release [11]; no independent verification of the deployment count, water savings, or emissions reduction figures is present in the dossier.
