Rivabyte DPS-Y4U PRO Parachute for Matrice 4D/4TD: Integrated emergency descent with high-visibility lighting

The Rivabyte DPS-Y4U PRO Parachute equips Matrice 4D aircraft with a combined emergency descent and visibility enhancement system designed for demanding enterprise missions. Its compact module mounts through an M3 thumb screw and interfaces via E-Port Lite, simplifying installation and supporting uninterrupted payload workflows.

By pairing telemetry-based fault response with arm-mounted RGB lighting, the system strengthens aircraft safety across urban, industrial, and unpredictable operating environments.

Intelligent activation logic ensures timely deployment during flight instability

Through DJI PSDK, the DPS-Y4U PRO tracks aircraft behavior continuously, enabling rapid identification of malfunction, loss of lift, or sudden downward acceleration. Upon detecting unsafe conditions, the system triggers a propeller stop followed by parachute deployment.

A controller-mounted button offers manual activation when direct operator input is required. A built-in supercapacitor preserves up to 10 seconds of deployment capability even if the aircraft loses power, allowing the system to complete its emergency sequence under critical failure conditions.

High-visibility lighting and reusable components support operational efficiency

Dual RGB lights mount directly onto the aircraft arm, providing broad forward and lateral illumination visible up to 2,000 m at night with selectable 1–25 Hz frequency. After deployment, operators replace only the parachute pack, secured using three M2×12 screws.

The module’s 2.95 × 2.52 × 1.73 in (75 × 64 × 44 mm) footprint and 5.9 oz (168 g) weight support loads up to 4.4 lb (2 kg), maintaining a controlled descent of 13–18 ft/s (4–5.5 m/s). Rated for 14°F to 122°F (−10°C to 50°C) and altitudes from −492 to 13,123 ft (−150 to 4000 m), the system adapts readily to diverse field environments.
