The Manifold 3 represents a significant leap in onboard drone computing, delivering 100 TOPS of processing capability in a remarkably compact form factor. Purpose-built for the Matrice 400, this intelligent payload module unlocks advanced autonomous capabilities across critical applications including infrastructure assessment, emergency response, and industrial surveying. By integrating enterprise-grade computational resources directly into your aircraft, the Manifold 3 enables real-time data processing, sophisticated AI analysis, and intelligent decision-making at the edge—fundamentally expanding the operational scope of professional drone operations.
Lightweight but Powerful
The Manifold 3 delivers enterprise-grade computational performance through integrated GPU and DLA architecture, all contained within a 120g payload that preserves your aircraft's flight dynamics and endurance. This lightweight design enables seamless deployment of sophisticated AI and machine learning algorithms directly onboard the Matrice 400, facilitating real-time edge processing for complex analytical tasks. Whether conducting thermal analysis, object detection, or autonomous decision-making in the field, the Manifold 3 provides the processing horsepower required for professional applications without compromising operational efficiency or flight characteristics.
Robust Adaptability
Built for demanding field operations, the Manifold 3 features IP55-rated environmental sealing that guards against dust and moisture ingress across diverse deployment scenarios. Its advanced thermal management system sustains consistent 25W performance output even at elevated ambient temperatures, with operational capability spanning -20°C to 50°C. This robust engineering ensures the computing module delivers reliable, uninterrupted processing power regardless of weather exposure or thermal stress—critical for mission-critical applications in infrastructure inspection, emergency response, and remote surveying operations.
Full PSDK Support
The Manifold 3 integrates directly with PSDK V3, providing comprehensive access to the complete sensor ecosystem of the Matrice 400. Equipped with native hardware codec acceleration, it processes video streams with exceptional efficiency whilst maintaining optimised payload and flight control coordination. This deep platform integration enables sophisticated real-time analysis workflows, allowing developers and operators to leverage multi-sensor data streams for advanced autonomous applications without introducing computational bottlenecks or latency constraints.
Revolutionary Software Features
The Manifold 3 streamlines application deployment through DJI Pilot 2, enabling intuitive local installation and updates of third-party software without requiring terminal access or dependency management. Integrated 4G connectivity facilitates low-latency command and data transmission for remote operations, whilst native LiDAR point cloud integration within PSDK empowers developers to construct advanced augmented reality visualisations directly within the Pilot 2 interface. This accessible development ecosystem democratises edge computing capabilities, allowing operators and developers to rapidly prototype and deploy sophisticated analytical solutions without extensive systems engineering expertise.
Effortless Expandability
The Manifold 3 features a high-speed USB-C 3.0 interface with Power Delivery capability, enabling flexible connectivity to external peripherals including storage devices, network adapters, and specialist instrumentation. This versatile I/O architecture facilitates rapid data offloading, network expansion, and sensor integration, allowing operators to customise the payload configuration for specific mission requirements without requiring proprietary connectors or additional interface modules.
