The DJI AP100 Parachute is a rear-mounted emergency recovery system built exclusively for the DJI Matrice 400. It runs on independent power with its own flight controller and sensors, so it can still deploy after a complete loss of aircraft power or control link. Deployment is available manually from DJI Pilot 2, or automatically when the system detects an abnormal aircraft attitude or speed.

When triggered, an independent Flight Termination System cuts motor power and stops the rotors before the canopy is ejected, preventing the suspension lines from tangling in the propellers. The full sequence takes under 600 ms, and the aircraft descends under canopy at 5 m/s or less.

A parachute recovery system is a recognised ground risk mitigation and can strengthen a safety case for operations over people or beyond visual line of sight. Talk to Prisma about how the AP100 fits into your CASA approval pathway.

Sold separately. Compatible with the DJI Matrice 400 only.

Key Specs:

  • Approx. 935 g (with bracket)

  • 182 × 171 × 157 mm (L×W×H, with bracket)

  • Supports up to 15.8 kg aircraft max take-off weight

  • Automatic deployment response under 600 ms

  • Stabilised descent speed of 5 m/s or less

  • Minimum effective deployment altitude of 30 m

  • Nylon canopy with pyrotechnic gas generator ejection

  • Independent Flight Termination System with dedicated control and rotor stop links

  • Dual capacitor backup power, approx. 1 hour independent

  • Audible and visual alarms for approx. 1 hour after deployment

  • Continuous self-check with alerts via the DJI Pilot 2 Health Management System

  • IP55 ingress protection rating

  • 20°C to 50°C operating temperature

  • 0 to 4,500 m operating altitude

  • Approx. 6 minutes flight time impact

  • Fits the standard Matrice 400 carrying case with the parachute attached

Includes:

  • DJI AP100 Parachute × 1

  • Mounting Bracket × 1

Single-use system. The unit must be replaced after deployment. DJI recommends replacing the unit three years after activation.

Continuous Self-Diagnostics

From the moment Matrice 400 powers on and throughout the entire flight, the parachute continuously monitors the status of the gas generator and communication links. If an anomaly occurs, real-time alerts are displayed via the Health Management System (HMS) in the DJI Pilot 2, ensuring safe operation.

Intelligent Algorithms, Redundancy Validation

Equipped with an independent flight control system and sensors like IMU, the parachute functions as a self-contained safety module. Intelligent algorithms continuously cross-validate data between the drone and the parachute in real time, significantly reducing the risk of accidental deployment.

Independent Power

Built-in dual capacitors provide up to 1 hour of independent backup power. This helps ensure uninterrupted flight attitude monitoring and automatic deployment, without relying on main aircraft power or an active E-Port connection.

Instant Motor Cut-Off

When triggered, an independent Flight Termination System (FTS) cuts motor power within 600 ms, stopping the rotors before parachute ejection to prevent entanglement.

Built for Harsh Environments

Sharing Matrice 400's IP55 rating, the system operates reliably in challenging conditions, including heavy dust or rain. It also maintains stable performance across temperatures from -20° to 50° C (-4° to 122° F), delivering consistent results in both hot and cold conditions.

Audio and Visual Alarms

After deployment, the system continuously emits loud alarms and high-intensity flashing lights for approximately 1 hour. This warns people on the ground to clear the area and helps operators quickly locate and recover the equipment.
