What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
DJI has introduced a new UAS called the Matrice 600 Pro, designed with a range of improved systems for professional aerial cinematography and photography applications.
The M600 Pro has a more powerful battery charging system and better loading capacity for camera payloads, and is compatible with the A3 Pro flight controller. The controller has triple modular redundancy and diagnostic algorithms that compare sensor data from three sets of GNSS units, in order to enhance precision control and improve safety. Vibration damping balls have also been added to the flight controller’s redundant IMU module and main controller to absorb vibration and reduce noise.
The UAS can carry a payload of up to 6kg, and is compatible with DJI’s Zenmuse camera series, the Ronin-MX gimbal and DJI Focus.
The UAS M600 Pro comes with pre-installed arms and antennas, and an updated battery charging hub that allows users to charge the six intelligent batteries at the same time reducing overall charging time.
