DJI Dock Australia – Pathway to Autonomy

Written by Kim Skilton on 4 May 2023. Posted in News.

DJI Dock Australia – Introducing the DJI Dock for Matrice 30, an innovative automated docking solution for the DJI M30 series of drones. With this drone-in-a-box system, you can easily set up fully automated and pre-programmed flights for your DJI M30 Series drone (Dock Version) that can be remotely monitored and supervised from a Remote Command Centre. After configuring the system, your fully charged M30 drone can take off from the DJI Dock and execute pre-programmed automatic missions up to 7 km away using FlightHub 2 or any other third-party software provider. This opens up new possibilities for aerial applications that require efficient and autonomous operations, such as surveying, inspection, and mapping.

Key Features

Quick Charging: The DJI M30 drone automatically recharges in its dock and is ready to fly in just 25 minutes after landing. With a full charge, the M30 can fly for up to 40 minutes.
Waterproof and Dustproof Design: The DJI Dock Australia is rated IP55 and the internal components are rated IP67, providing waterproof and dustproof protection even when the dock is open. The M30 Series Dock Version can withstand wind speeds of up to 15 m/s.
Versatile Data Capture: The M30 Series Dock Version comes with wide, zoom, and thermal cameras (M30T only), as well as a laser rangefinder, allowing for flexible data capture.
Environmental Adaptability: The M30 Dock’s interior is climate-controlled, ensuring safe charging temperatures even in extreme temperatures ranging from -35°C to 50°C.
4G Connectivity: The Dock’s connectivity can be extended with an optional external 4G dongle.
Emergency Power Supply: In case of a power outage, the Dock’s internal battery takes over to ensure that the M30 can safely land from its mission.
Integrated Design: The Dock is packed with highly integrated hardware, including a wide-angle security camera, weather station, omnidirectional antenna, RTK module, and edge computing expansion slot, improving functionality.
Cloud API: The Dock’s Cloud API allows developers and system integrators to customise and set up a private server for their specific needs.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Drone

Written by Kim Skilton on 14 October 2022. Posted in News.

Doosan Mobility Innovation (DMI) Partners with C3 Drones and Robotics

DMI signs an official contract with C3 Drones and Robotics to actively expand to the Australian market

Doosan Mobility Innovation (DMI) has partnered with an Australian company C3 Drones and Robotics for the distribution and development of UAV solutions in Australia and New Zealand. The official partnership was made in June this year with both parties expecting to expand the use of hydrogen fuel cell drone operations in Oceania.

C3 means command, control and communication, the full package required for remotely operated aircraft and robotics. At C3 Drones and Robotics we work directly with the biggest names in the RPAS and robotics industries, software developers, regulatory consultation teams and the world’s various Federal Aviation Authorities to deliver an off-the-shelf package for remote operations.

Doosan Mobility Innovation is focusing on the mobile application of hydrogen fuel cell technology, which is projected to provide diverse industrial solutions and contribute to public safety with green technology. DMI’s hydrogen fuel cell multi-copter can fly for up to 2 hours, with its remote vertical take-off and landing system. DMI has conducted long-range delivery flights with 72km as the longest record in the US Virgin Islands with blood sample delivery done with the Department of Health.

With such long-endurance hydrogen fuel cell drones, DMI and C3 Drones and Robotics will be able to expand the usage of not only drones but also hydrogen in Australia and New Zealand.

Advantages of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Drones

Hydrogen can overcome the power limits of standard lithium-ion batteries, enabling drones’ longer endurance. It is expected that the growing demand for special-purpose hydrogen drones in use cases such as surveillance and survey of long linear assets will proliferate the technology.

Advantages of the Doosan hydrogen fuel cell drone include:-

2 hours plus of flight time
Long range allowing for new unthought-of use cases
Safe systems and easy hydrogen supply solutions
BVLOS capable with autonomous flight
