AVSS Launches Parachute Recovery System for New DJI Matrice 4 Series

Canadian aerospace company Aerial Vehicle Safety Solutions (AVSS) has unveiled its latest safety innovation – the PRS-M4S parachute recovery system, designed specifically for DJI‘s newly announced Matrice 4 Series enterprise drones. The system enables commercial operators to legally conduct flights over people while meeting stringent international safety standards.

Comprehensive Safety Integration

The PRS-M4S represents a significant advancement in drone safety technology, featuring a plug-and-play design that incorporates multiple critical safety components. The system combines a Parachute Recovery System (PRS), Flight Termination System (FTS), Automatic Triggering System (ATS), and Manual Triggering Device (MTD), creating a comprehensive safety solution for enterprise operations.

Compatible with both the DJI Matrice 4 Enterprise and DJI Matrice 4 Thermal variants, the system has been engineered to meet rigorous international safety standards. The PRS-M4S complies with EASA MOC 2512, ASTM F3322, and various national aviation authority requirements for operations over people, including those from the FAA, Transport Canadae Australia‘s Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

Regulatory Compliance and Availability

For enterprise drone operators seeking to expand their operational capabilities, the PRS-M4S addresses a crucial regulatory requirement. The system enables operations over people while maintaining compliance with JARUS SORA guidelines, which are increasingly being adopted by aviation authorities worldwide.

AVSS plans to begin shipping the PRS-M4S to authorized resellers in June 2025, aligning with the commercial rollout of the DJI Matrice 4 Series. This timing allows enterprise customers to integrate safety systems into their operations from day one.

Industry Context and Implications

The launch of the PRS-M4S continues AVSS’s track record of developing safety solutions for DJI’s enterprise drone lineup. The company has previously released similar systems for other DJI platforms, including the Matrice 300 RTK and Mavic 3 Enterprise series.

This development comes at a crucial time for the commercial Setor de drones, as regulators worldwide are increasing scrutiny on drone operations over populated areas. The availability of certified safety systems like the PRS-M4S plays a vital role in enabling expanded commercial drone operations while maintaining public safety.
