Mavic 3T is identical to Mavic 3E and consumer Mavic 3 in appearance and functionality. Enterprise drones use 77 Wh batteries and 100W charging brick. DJI Pilot 2 app is identical across all three models
Thermal cameras use infrared energy from objects to create images. Military uses Johnson Criteria (DRI) for detection, recognition, and identification. Thermal cameras operate in Mid to Far infrared frequencies. Uncooled cameras operate in 7-14UM, cooled cameras in 3-5UM. Thermal cameras can detect objects at greater distances due to heat
Microbolometer detects infrared radiation between 7.5-14 μm without cooling. Device consists of array of pixels with multiple layers. Pixel size has decreased from 45 μm to 12 μm in current technology
