DJI announces the industrial drone "Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual" equipped with an infrared camera | DRONE

DJI will release the industrial drone "Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual" in early January 2019. The estimated market price is around 400,000 yen including tax.

The Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual, jointly developed with FLIR Systems, follows the compact design of the Mavic 2 series, and has many control technologies and accessory expandability that are the features of the Mavic 2 Enterprise announced in October 2018. is installed. Measure temperatures with the Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual and easily save images and temperature data for efficient reporting and analysis. It is said that it will immediately provide the information necessary for various business operations and time-sensitive tasks, such as inspection work of public facilities and emergency response.

FLIR MSX. Integrate visible and thermal images in real time

The Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual is equipped with a 3-axis gimbal camera that houses a 4K sensor that captures visible light and a FLIR Lepton thermography micro camera that captures thermal image data in one unit. These two sensors allow pilots to fly in complex environments at night and during the day with fog and smoke. Choose from multiple intelligent display modes in the DJI Pilot flight control app to visualize data from dual-sensor cameras.

It is also compatible with all Mavic 2 Enterprise accessories and can be controlled with the DJI Pilot flight control app.

The Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual, like the Mavic 2 Enterprise, comes with new features to protect photos, videos, flight logs, and other data during critical operations. The industrial-grade Mavic 2 Enterprise features 24GB of built-in data storage and password protection for enhanced access to all drone features and stored data. If password protection is enabled, you will be prompted to enter a password when you start the drone, connect the transmitter to the drone, or access the drone's internal storage. However, it claims to provide secure access to the drone and its on-board data storage while protecting your data.

GPS timestamp records the time and data when the video was captured, similar to iOS or Android devices

The newly installed GPS timestamp function records the time and location information for each image taken, supporting pilot reporting obligations and improving the reliability of data captured by drones. It is said that it can be used for important infrastructure inspection work and legal security maintenance.

In addition, users who want more safety in data security can use the local data mode function to stop data transmission to the Internet from the mobile device to which the user is connected.

It also features DJI's AirSense technology, which enhances pilot situational awareness and increases airspace safety. AirSense uses an ADS-B signal receiver integrated into the airframe to automatically alert pilots to nearby aircraft and helicopter information and display real-time location alerts from the DJI Pilot app. This provides additional safety for operators flying in congested airspace or complex operations such as wildfire suppression, disaster recovery, and infrastructure monitoring.

Equipped with DJI's OcuSync 2.0 video transmission system, the connection between the drone and transmitter is more stable even in environments such as urban areas with high electromagnetic interference. The system supports both 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz frequency bands. It also supports automatic switching, making it possible to use different frequencies for uplink and downlink data streams (only 2.4GHz is available in Japan).

The Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual uses DJI's FOC sine wave drivers along with propellers for quiet and efficient flight, with a maximum flight time of approximately 31 minutes and a speed of 72km/h. Achieve maximum speed. In addition, the drone will perform reliably even in a low temperature environment of -10°C with a self-heating battery.
