DJI Matrice 30 AVSS Parachute Weekly Rental
AVSS PRS-M30 brings automatic parachute recovery to DJI Matrice 30 and Matrice 30T operations, enabling public safety, inspection, and enterprise teams to add flight termination and controlled descent capabilities for expanded operations.
- Deploy in under 0.5 seconds: Energetic deployment technology activates automatically in under 500 milliseconds, giving the parachute time to inflate and slow the aircraft before ground contact.
- Support zero-metre deployment: The plug-and-play flight termination system can be configured for deployment at 0 metres to support civil aviation authority requirements for operations over people.
- Install without GPS interference: The M30-specific attachment bracket positions the parachute system clear of the aircraft's GPS modules to preserve navigation accuracy.
- Support regulatory applications: ASTM F3322 and EASA MOC 2512 compliance and the included documentation package support approval processes for BVLOS and over-people operations.
Overview and Who It's For
The PRS-M30 is a drone parachute recovery system designed specifically for the DJI Matrice 30 and Matrice 30T. It integrates through PSDK for automatic and manual triggering, includes an autonomous triggering device, and uses energetic deployment technology for sub-0.5-second activation.
- Public Safety: Search and rescue, emergency response, and law enforcement teams operating over populated areas where flight termination capability is required for regulatory approval or organisational policy.
- Civil and Power: Infrastructure inspection over roadways, railways, and populated corridors where over-people operations require parachute recovery documentation.
- Energy and Utilities: Pipeline and powerline inspection teams operating in controlled or restricted airspace where recovery system certification supports expanded operational approvals.
- Enterprise M30 and M30T operators: Support BVLOS or over-people applications with CAA, ASTM F3322, and EASA MOC 2512 documentation.

FAQs
Does the PRS-M30 require a Transport Canada waiver to operate?
The parachute recovery system itself does not require a waiver, but operational approvals such as over-people or BVLOS operations may. The PRS-M30's ASTM F3322 and EASA MOC 2512 documentation is intended to support those approval applications. Contact Candrone's Solutions team for guidance specific to your operation.
Does installing the PRS-M30 affect the M30's payload capacity or flight time?
The system adds 284 grams to the aircraft. This reduces available payload capacity and may affect flight time depending on the existing payload configuration. Review the aircraft's maximum take-off weight limits before installation.
Can the parachute be manually triggered by the pilot?
Yes. The PRS-M30 supports manual deployment through the PSDK interface in addition to the autonomous triggering system.
Are replacement Parachute Pods available separately?
Yes. AVSS Parachute Pods are available as replacements. Contact Candrone for pricing and availability.
Is the PRS-M30 compatible with the M30T thermal variant?
Yes. The PRS-M30 is compatible with both the DJI Matrice 30 and DJI Matrice 30T.
