DJI’s annual conference AirWorks kicked off today with a jammed packed keynote filled with announcements of new drones and programs. Let’s take a deep dive into the biggest reveals!
DroneDJ was on-site and provided great insight on the event and updates that were being released:
P4 Multispectral Drone
DJI introduced the world’s first fully integrated multispectral imaging drone built to power farming’s next generation and enable more efficient environmental land management.
“Phantom 4 Multispectral has the promise to transform the agriculture and land management industries by collecting precise plant-level data without having to send personnel into the field for manual surveys,” said Jan Gasparic, Director of Strategic Partnerships at DJI. “By combining multispectral imaging into a trusted, efficient and affordable tool, DJI is making this transformative technology more accessible to professionals around the world who are pioneering the adoption of drones in their industries.”
Agras T16 Drone

DJI Disaster Relief Program
A new initiative to rapidly equip first responders with DJI drone technology and support during natural disaster response and recovery missions including: wildfires, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, and earthquakes.
“This program builds on DJI’s growing commitment to the public safety industry, as more than 900 public safety organizations across the United States, including the Los Angeles Fire Department, are deploying DJI drones for lifesaving activities,” said Romeo Durscher, Director of Public Safety Integration at DJI. “To date, at least 278 people around the world have been rescued from peril by drones and this program will ensure that many more lives are saved by mitigating the risks to emergency responders on the ground and on the front lines of natural disasters.”
