DJI AP100 Parachute for Matrice 400

The DJI AP100 Parachute is an advanced safety system specifically designed for the DJI Matrice 400, providing an additional layer of protection during professional drone operations. In the event of an emergency, the system is designed to reduce the aircraft’s descent speed, helping minimise potential risks to the drone, its payloads, and people or property below.

Advanced Emergency Deployment

The AP100 features an independent power supply, redundant communication links, and dual activation modes, allowing the parachute to be triggered either manually or automatically.

When abnormal aircraft attitude or flight-speed conditions are detected, the parachute can automatically deploy with a response time of up to 600 ms. Under the operating conditions specified by DJI, the system helps stabilise the Matrice 400's descent at a speed of 5 m/s or less.

Intelligent Safety Monitoring

Built-in self-check functions continuously monitor critical components, including the gas generator and communication links, helping ensure the parachute system remains ready for operation.

The AP100 also incorporates an independent Flight Termination System (FTS) designed to stop the aircraft's rotors before parachute deployment. This helps reduce the possibility of rotor interference during parachute opening.

Rugged and Professional Design

Despite its advanced safety features, the DJI AP100 maintains a compact and robust design suitable for demanding professional applications.

Key specifications include:

• Compatible aircraft: DJI Matrice 400
• Approx. weight: 935 g
• Protection rating: IP55
• Operating temperature: -20°C to 50°C
• Automatic deployment response: Up to 600 ms
• Descent speed: ≤5 m/s under specified operating conditions
• Activation: Manual and automatic
• Power: Independent power supply
• Safety monitoring: Integrated self-check system
• FTS: Independent rotor-stop system
• Post-deployment alerts: Audible and visual alarms

Enhanced Operational Safety

Following deployment, audible and visual alarms help operators locate the equipment while also providing an alert to people in the surrounding area.

When used with the DJI Matrice 400, the AP100 can contribute to meeting certain operational safety requirements associated with European and UK regulatory frameworks, including EASA C5/C6 and CAA UK5/UK6, depending on the aircraft configuration and specific operation.

Ideal for Professional Applications

The DJI AP100 Parachute is particularly suited to professional operators conducting missions where enhanced safety is essential, including:

• Infrastructure and industrial inspections
• Emergency response operations
• Public safety missions
• Technical and engineering applications
• Complex-environment operations
• Professional aerial surveying
• Commercial drone operations

The DJI AP100 Parachute for Matrice 400 provides a robust, intelligent and responsive emergency safety solution, helping professional operators add an important layer of protection to critical drone operations.
