DJI Agricultural Drones Launches Three New Products | The Frontline

On November 18th, DJI announced the release of three new agricultural drone models, namely the T100S, T70S, and T55.

The flagship model, the T100S, has a maximum takeoff weight of 149.9 kilograms. Its spraying system has a capacity of 85 liters, the spreading load is 90 kilograms, and the lifting load is 95 kilograms. It is suitable for various scenarios such as large - scale fields, fruit tree plant protection, agricultural material lifting, and vegetable operations. The T70S has a spraying load of 50 liters, a spreading load of 70 kilograms, and a lifting load of 70 kilograms. It inherits the core performance of the flagship model and meets the needs of medium - scale field growers and small and medium - sized orchard owners with a higher cost - performance ratio.

In addition, this year, DJI also released the entry - level product T55, which features a lightweight design and is convenient for single - person operation. The T55 has a spraying capacity of 50 liters, a spreading capacity of 80 liters, and its lifting function supports a load of 40 kilograms. A single person can easily transfer the device, and the operation is simple. Fully automated operation planning can be completed with just one mobile phone.

The starting prices of the standard packages of the T100S, T70S, and T55 are 48,999 yuan, 43,999 yuan, and 36,999 yuan respectively. From today until January 31st, 2026, customers who place a full - payment order can enjoy a discounted price, with a maximum direct reduction of 8,000 yuan.

The market demand and the application scenarios of agricultural drones are constantly changing. From the initial operations on rice and wheat fields to the application in fruit trees on hillsides, and then to spreading fertilizers. In 2025, the lifting function was widely applied.

Compared with the T100 and T70 models released in 2024, the T100S and T70S are lighter in weight and have a larger load - carrying capacity.

More importantly, they also have stronger safety performance. The safety system is the core highlight of these new products. The T100S is equipped with a new 256 - line lidar, with a 153% increase in point - cloud density and a 5 - fold increase in the detection distance of small obstacles such as wires. The number of transceiver antennas of the new - generation millimeter - wave radar has increased by 130%, and the point - cloud density reaches 250,000 points per second, further enhancing the obstacle - avoidance ability.

This also indicates that DJI's agricultural drones have officially entered a new stage of "aerial intelligent driving". Chen Qiming, an engineer at DJI Agriculture, introduced that if compared to the levels of intelligent driving in cars, the new - generation agricultural drones have reached the L3 level of intelligent driving in terms of technology. That is, in specific scenarios, fully unmanned automated operations can be achieved. The system can completely take over the operation under specific conditions, and users only need to intervene when necessary. "In 2015, when we released the first - generation product, we still needed to remotely control the aircraft. Now, with the combination of millimeter - wave radar, vision, and lidar sensors, the new products can actively avoid obstacles."

DJI's confidence in technology is also reflected in its new insurance policy for products this year. The full - coverage speed has been increased from within 7 m/s to within 10 m/s. If the speed is within 10 m/s and the aircraft is damaged due to hitting any obstacle during automatic operation, DJI will provide warranty services. If the speed is within 13.8 m/s and the aircraft is damaged due to hitting an obstacle other than wires, DJI will also bear the cost. Currently, DJI Agriculture has established 1,400 service outlets across the country, building a service network with a radius of 50 kilometers. 98% of maintenance cases can be completed within 4 hours.

In addition to product improvements, DJI also launched an AI application on mobile phones this year. Chen Qiming explained, "Now there are many new farmers, that is, young people who have taken over the land from the previous generation. They may not know how to spray pesticides. At this time, they can take a photo of the pests they see and ask the AI. It will tell them the flight speed and the amount of pesticides to use, and then they can directly operate the agricultural drone."

Shen Xiaojun, the global market leader of DJI Agriculture, said that the launch of these three new models "aims to meet the all - round needs of large - scale farms to individual farmers, enabling every agricultural practitioner to enjoy the achievements of modern agricultural technology and allowing more farmers to own their own agricultural drones."

As the leader in the agricultural drone industry, according to the latest data on agricultural purchase subsidies, the number of devices produced by DJI accounts for nearly 90%. As of October 2025, the cumulative global sales of DJI's agricultural drones have exceeded 500,000 units. The number of agricultural drones operating in a single year in China has exceeded 320,000 units, and the annual operation volume has exceeded 3.2 billion mu - times. The penetration rate of DJI's agricultural drones in rice, the second - largest crop in the country, is 60%. In regions with large - scale rice production such as Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui, the proportion can exceed 90%.

Niki, the head of the marketing department of DJI Agriculture, introduced at a closed - door meeting that the ratio of self - use users to plant protection teams (people who buy drones specifically for providing plant protection services to users) among DJI's agricultural drone users has changed from 1:9 initially to 5:5 currently. "This also means that the professionalism of users is not as high as before, and we must make our drone operation plans simpler."
