UHR mode pushes resolution higher so you can read the scene clearly from altitude. Punch in with the 48MP telephoto at 168mm equivalent to visually confirm what thermal found, whether that's identifying a subject, reading a plate, or assessing a structure from 250 meters without repositioning the aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe laser rangefinder tags GPS coordinates on the target at up to 1,800 meters so your ground team walks straight to the location. The AL1 Spotlight tracks with the gimbal automatically so your light stays on whatever the camera is pointed at. The AS1 Speaker broadcasts live or pre-recorded audio at 114 dB from up to 300 meters, so you can light up a subject and issue verbal commands simultaneously from one aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRTK positioning gives you centimeter-level accuracy for evidence documentation and accident reconstruction.

A DFR program puts a drone in the air automatically the moment a 911 call hits dispatch, giving responding units real-time aerial overwatch before the first patrol car arrives on scene. The M4TD is the DJI airframe built for this. The fixed-arm design pairs directly with DJI Dock 3 for autonomous launch, flight, and return-to-base in roughly 10 seconds from dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf your department is exploring a DFR program, the M4TD is the right platform to start with.

Most DFR programs today operate under FAA BVLOS authorization, which is currently issued as a Part 107 waiver and will transition to Part 108 permits or certificates after the final rule takes effect (expected mid-to-late 2026). Some agencies start with shielded operations (typically rooftop launches in controlled corridors) that don't require full BVLOS authorization. We can't write your waiver application or certificate package, but we can help you spec the equipment side correctly so what you submit reflects what the M4TD and Dock 3 actually do.

The M4TD can still be procured using agency operating budgets, state-only funds, asset forfeiture proceeds, foundation funding, and other non-federal sources. If you're working through procurement compliance, call us at (863) 224-6923 or email sales@covertdrones.com and we'll work through your specific funding source with you before you commit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat thermal drone do law enforcement agencies use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DJI Matrice 4TD is the current standard for law enforcement, fire, and search and rescue agencies that need an all-weather thermal platform with autonomous capability. The Matrice 30T is still widely deployed in existing fleets, but most agencies upgrading today are moving to the M4TD for the improved thermal resolution, faster deployment, and DFR readiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the M4TD be flown manually without DJI Dock 3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The M4TD pairs with the included DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise controller for full standalone manual operation. Dock 3 is an optional upgrade for autonomous operations and is not required to deploy this kit. Agencies commonly start with the handheld kit and add Dock 3 when the budget allows without replacing the aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the 4-battery and 6-battery kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4-battery kit covers most single-incident responses and standard operational periods with hot-swap rotations. The 6-battery kit extends operational time substantially, which is the right call for extended search and rescue missions, multi-hour tactical operations, and departments that want continuous aerial coverage without bringing the aircraft down mid-shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the M4TD different from the Matrice 30T we're running?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M4TD delivers higher thermal resolution with UHR super-resolution mode, a fixed-arm airframe that deploys without unfolding, five integrated sensors with no payload swaps, and Dock 3 compatibility for DFR program expansion. It runs the same DJI Pilot 2 software and RC Plus 2 controller your pilots already know, so transition time is minimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the AL1 Spotlight and AS1 Speaker work at the same time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Both payloads operate independently or simultaneously from a single aircraft. You can illuminate a subject with the spotlight while broadcasting verbal commands through the speaker without splitting attention between systems or switching payloads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the M4TD require Part 107 for law enforcement operations?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw enforcement agencies operating under a FAA Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) as a public aircraft operation may be exempt from Part 107 requirements. Commercial and non-governmental operators require Part 107 certification. Confirm your agency's operational status with your FAA regional office or legal counsel before flying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does it ship and do you offer agency Net 30 or purchase order terms?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard delivery is 5 to 7 business days. For agency Net 30 and purchase order purchasing, contact us directly at sales@covertdrones.com or (863) 224-6923 and we'll get the paperwork set up before the order is placed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the M4TD detect targets through smoke or fog?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 640x512 thermal camera detects infrared heat signatures and does not depend on visible light, so it performs through smoke, darkness, light fog, and dense foliage. Heavy fog or precipitation can reduce effective thermal range. The IP55-rated airframe is designed for rain and dust deployment, which is why it's the right call over non-rated platforms for fire and hazmat scene operations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DJI","offers":[{"title":"4-Battery - Speaker\/Spotlight Combo","offer_id":48297497166051,"sku":"CD-DJI-M4TD-FR-4B","price":11446.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-Battery - Speaker\/Spotlight Combo","offer_id":48297497198819,"sku":"CD-DJI-M4TD-FR-6B","price":12286.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/7665\/3924\/files\/4TD_1_to_1_Public_Saftey.png?v=1780252442","url":"https:\/\/covertdrones.com\/products\/dji-matrice-4td-first-responder-kit","provider":"Covert Drones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
