Likewise, we’ll also see how the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Series perform in comparison?to the DJI Phantom 4 RTK and the DJI M300 RTK-P1 combo.

The DJI Mavic 3E and DJI Mavic 3T

DJI Mavic 3E:?The Mavic 3E is primarily intended for efficient mapping and surveying operations, with improved performance in low-light conditions. It boasts efficient performance without the use of Ground Control Points. The following are the key features of the DJI Mavic 3E:

• 20 MP wide-angle camera
• 4/3 CMOS sensor with large 3.3-micrometre pixels
• Intelligent Low-Light Mode
• Up-to-56x hybrid zoom camera (with an equivalent focal length of 162mm for 12MP images)
• Mechanical shutter to prevent motion blur and rapid 0.7-second interval shooting

The DJI Mavic 3E works in conjunction with DJI’s mapping software – DJI Terra, for all stages of work; from mission planning to processing of 2D and 3D models.

DJI Mavic 3T:?The Mavic 3T is designed for aerial operations, specifically in?firefighting , search and rescue, inspection and night operations. The standout feature of this drone is its thermal camera, which supports area temperature measurement, high-temperature alerts, colour palettes, and isotherms to help professionals find hot spots and make quick and better-informed decisions. The following are the key features of the DJI Mavic 3T:

• 48 MP camera with a 1/2” CMOS sensor.
• Thermal camera with a Display Field of View (DFOV) of 61° and an equivalent focal length of 40mm with 640 × 512 px resolution.
• Up-to-56x hybrid zoom camera (with an equivalent focal length of 162mm for 12MP images).
• Simultaneous split-screen zoom – the thermal and zoom cameras (28x continuous side-by-side zoom).

The DJI Mavic 3T is designed to work with DJI Thermal Analysis Tool 3.0 (DTAT 3.0) software, which helps professionals analyse, annotate and process captured images to detect any instances of temperature abnormalities.

DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Series v/s M300-P1

The?M300 –P1 ?combo remains DJI’s most powerful?photogrammetry ?drone mapping solution, but it only caters to a niche demographic. On the other hand, the Mavic 3E is perfect for surveyors looking for a more compact and cost-effective aerial surveying option, or for those who prefer to start with an entry-level drone. Here’s a quick comparison:

DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Series v/s P4 RTK

The DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise is aimed at the same market as the P4 RTK, and?is reportedly an upgrade on the DJI Phantom 4 RTK. Here’s a quick comparison:

A Closer Look at the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Series

Exceptional Operational Efficiency

• AirSense:?The Mavic 3 Enterprise series drones incorporate DJI AirSense that detects nearby manned aircraft such as aeroplanes, helicopters and notifies the drone pilot.
• Omnidirectional Obstacle Avoidance Sensing:?All the sides are equipped with wide-angle lenses for omnidirectional obstacle avoidance with absolutely NO room for blind spots. The Advanced Return to Home (RTH) feature automatically identifies the best path home, saving time, effort, and resources. Similarly, the Advanced Piloting Assistance System (APAS 5.0) allows for automatic rerouting around obstructions, allowing you to fly worry-free.
• OcuSync 3 Enterprise Transmission:?With a maximum control range of 15 km, DJI O3 Enterprise Transmission?enables the Mavic 3 Enterprise drones to fly further and transmit signals with higher stability. It provides a high frame rate live feed at 1080p/30 fps.
• Durability and Endurance:?With an impressive 45-minute flight time, you can survey up to 2 square kilometres in a single go, enabling us to cover more land in a single flight. Moreover, we?may directly charge the drone with 88W fast charging or use a 100W charging hub to charge the batteries quickly.

Compatible Accessories

• DJI RC Pro Enterprise:?The DJI RC Pro Enterprise is an advanced, portable remote controller with a 1000-nit high-brightness screen for enhanced visibility even under direct sunlight, a built-in microphone for improved communication, 1.5-hour 65W fast-charging capabilities, next-generation processor, expanded storage capacity, and lower power consumption and more.?With powerful built-in O3+ video transmission technology, the DJI RC Pro Enterprise Series supports the DJI Cellular Dongle?for 4G communication.
• Loudspeaker:?Loudspeaker will help you disseminate your messages from heights, with text-to-speech support, and looping. This, in turn, escalates the efficiency of your search and rescue operations. It is also to be noted that this accessory needs to be purchased separately.
• RTK Module:?The RTK module lets you achieve centimetre-level accuracy with real-time correction of location errors. Moreover, the new DJI RTK module is smaller and lighter than the previous version.
• D-RTK 2 Mobile Station:?The D-RTK 2 Mobile Station is an enhanced high-precision GNSS receiver that supports all major global satellite navigation systems and generates centimetre-level positioning data for better relative accuracy.

Comprehensive Software Suite

Finally, the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise series is compatible with a comprehensive software suite to make the most of the acquired data:

• DJI Pilot?2: This?redesigned Enterprise flight interface increases flight safety and pilot productivity – it controls both the drone and payload with a simple tap; it presents the flight information and navigational data with improved clarity.
• DJI Thermal Analysis Tool?3.0:?The DTAT 3.0 helps you to analyse, annotate, and process photos taken by M3T and detect temperature irregularities in our inspections.
• DJI Flighthub 2:?It enables cloud-based all-in-one management of your drone operations with real-time annotations and cloud mapping for easy ground-to-cloud synergy. Likewise, it even takes care of the route planning to mission management.
• DJI Terra:?From mission planning to processing of 2D/3D models, DJI Terra is your complete mapping solution.

Open Development Ecosystem

PSDK or the Payload Software Development Kit lets the Mavic 3 Enterprise Series escalate their capabilities devices from outside sources (like the RTK Module, Loudspeakers). Likewise, you may directly connect the Mavic 3 Enterprise Series to third-party cloud systems using Pilot 2’s built-in MQTT-based protocols in the DJI Cloud API without developing an App; you can also access the hardware, streaming video, and photo data.

Data Security for Mission Critical Situations

Since we’re talking about missions?involving sensitive data, it is crucial to manage this data as securely as possible. The Mavic 3 Enterprise Series offers advanced security features to protect the integrity of data generated during sensitive flights. For instance, activating ‘Local Data Mode’ stops the DJI Pilot 2 flight control app from sending/receiving any information over the internet. This assures added-security for critical missions that involve crucial infrastructure, governmental projects or any such sensitive missions. Likewise, the radio link between the aircraft and the remote controller features robust AES-256 encryption.
