DJI Manifold 3 — High-Performance Edge Computing for Matrice 400 & Matrice 4 Series

The DJI Manifold 3 is DJI’s next-generation airborne computing module, bringing 100 TOPS of AI processing power to enterprise drone operations. Weighing just ~120 grams, it delivers advanced onboard intelligence for missions requiring real-time analysis, automation, and high-performance data processing.

Designed for developers, inspectors, and public safety teams, the Manifold 3 unlocks new capabilities in AI, mapping, autonomy, and sensor fusion—directly on the aircraft.

Compact, High-Power Computing

Despite its small footprint, the DJI Manifold 3 provides:

• 100 TOPS of AI compute
• Hardware-accelerated GPU + DLA architecture
• Minimal weight impact, allowing long flight endurance

This lets teams run advanced computer vision, thermal analysis, mapping, or detection models without relying on offboard computers or cloud processing.

Built for Field Reliability

Manifold 3 is engineered for the demanding environments enterprise drones encounter:

• IP55 rating for dust and water protection
• Operates reliably from -20°C to 50°C
• Efficient heat dissipation enabling 25W sustained power even in 40°C ambient temperatures

From harsh winters to high-heat industrial sites, Manifold 3 stays mission-ready.

Real-Time Mapping & Autonomous Exploration

When installed on compatible drones—such as the Matrice 400 or Matrice 4E—the Manifold 3 unlocks advanced automated capabilities:

• Real-time 3D spatial modeling
• Autonomous route planning in unknown or GPS-challenging environments
• Dynamic flight paths around complex or irregular structures
• One-mission workflows: generate a rough model, plan a detailed path, and execute your survey all in the field

Perfect for building inspections, search and rescue, and automated mapping missions.

Full PSDK Support for Developers

Manifold 3 fully supports DJI PSDK V3, allowing seamless integration with the drone’s communication and sensor systems.

With PSDK V3, developers can:

• Access live drone and payload sensor data
• Control aircraft and gimbals programmatically
• Use built-in hardware encoding/decoding for video and data
• Enable onboard 4G networking for low-latency communications
• Overlay AR visuals (e.g., LiDAR point clouds) directly onto DJI Pilot 2

Even better—third-party apps can now be installed in DJI Pilot 2 just like mobile apps, no complex setup or command-line tools required.

Expandable Through USB-C

The Manifold 3 includes a USB 3.0 Type-C port with PD power support and compatibility for:

• USB storage
• Network adapters
• External sensors and peripherals (device-dependent)

This makes it simple to build full workflows that connect external data sources or compute modules.

Open AI & Automation Platform

Developers can tap directly into the Manifold 3’s compute power to build end-to-end solutions, including:

• AI detection and classification
• Automated flight routines
• Multi-sensor fusion
• Edge analytics
• Real-time decision engines for critical missions

The Manifold 3 essentially turns the drone into a flying supercomputer.
