DJI Manifold 3: High-Performance Onboard Computing for Advanced Operations
Manifold 3 is DJI’s latest onboard computing module, delivering up to 100 TOPS of processing performance in a compact, lightweight form factor designed for enterprise drone operations. Weighing approximately 120 g (0.26 lb), it integrates directly with DJI Matrice 400, Matrice 4 Series, and Matrice 4D Series aircraft to provide additional computing resources for flight control, payload data processing, and advanced application execution.
With support for PSDK V3, native hardware codecs, and simplified application management through DJI Pilot 2, Manifold 3 enables sophisticated onboard workflows while minimizing impact on aircraft endurance and balance.

Compact design optimized for airborne deployment
Manifold 3 is engineered specifically for airborne use, balancing computing density with strict size, weight, and power constraints. Its compact dimensions of 98 × 57 × 36 mm (3.86 × 2.24 × 1.42 in) allow seamless integration without interfering with payload operation or aircraft aerodynamics. At just over a quarter pound, it adds minimal mass to supported platforms while enabling significant onboard processing capability. This design allows developers to move data processing closer to the point of capture, reducing reliance on ground-based post-processing and enabling faster decision-making during missions.
Environmental resilience for demanding field conditions
Designed for professional field operations, Manifold 3 carries an IP55 ingress protection rating and supports operation across a wide temperature range. It is specified to operate between −20° and 50° C (−4° to 122° F), allowing use in both cold-weather and high-heat environments. Its thermal management system supports stable operation at 25 W even in ambient temperatures up to 40° C (104° F). These characteristics make Manifold 3 suitable for deployment in industrial inspection, public safety, and infrastructure monitoring environments where environmental conditions are unpredictable.
DJI Matrice 4D Series: Supported for advanced applications.
E-Port usage: E1, E2, E3 ports supported on Matrice 400.
USB-C interface: USB 3.2 Gen 1 up to 5 Gbps throughput.
Power input: E-Port power or USB-C Power Delivery supported.
Applications and Use Cases
Energy infrastructure inspection: Run AI models for defect detection during flight.
Public safety operations: Process sensor data locally for faster situational awareness.
Building facade inspection: Generate structured data from complex vertical structures.
Forestry analysis: Perform onboard classification and vegetation modeling workflows.
Water resource monitoring: Analyze imagery locally to identify anomalies efficiently.
Smart 3D exploration: Build real-time spatial models in unknown environments.
LiDAR data processing: Access and process point clouds directly onboard aircraft.
AR visualization workflows: Overlay spatial data within DJI Pilot 2 interface.
Designed for Enterprise Integration
Manifold 3 is positioned as an open computing platform for enterprise developers and solution providers. With PSDK V3 compatibility, it enables direct access to flight data, payload control, sensor streams, and video feeds, while native hardware codec support accelerates video handling. Application installation and updates are handled directly through DJI Pilot 2, eliminating complex command-line workflows. Support for onboard 4G networking further enables low-latency connectivity, making Manifold 3 suitable for end-to-end automated solutions spanning data capture, processing, and task execution.
Manifold 3 delivers high-performance onboard computing in a form factor optimized for DJI enterprise aircraft like the Matrice 400, Matrice 4D Series, and Matrice 4 Series.
