Lithuanian technology company IT Logika has secured its first six-figure order in the United States, while its autonomous drone docking technology has been incorporated into a new emergency response system for US police and fire services. The developments follow a business mission to Miami organised by Lithuania’s Innovation Agency in September, where the company formalised a partnership with US businesses. Just a month later, the resulting product was launched on the American market.
A six-figure order and new US partnerships
IT Logika develops DBOX autonomous docking stations that allow drones to take off, carry out missions and return for recharging automatically. Operators can manage flights remotely, making the technology suitable for monitoring large areas, urban environments and critical infrastructure, as well as responding to incidents.
The company’s solutions are already used in Lithuania by Vilnius City Municipality, the Lithuanian Police, Lithuanian Railways and other organisations.
IT Logika began expanding into the US market in the summer through a partnership with Drone Nerds, an American drone technology distributor. The relationship developed further during the Innovation Agency’s business mission to Miami on 23–25 September.
At the Lithuania–US Business Forum, held in the presence of Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda, the company formalised a partnership with US-based XTI Aerospace and Drone Nerds, alongside French drone manufacturer Parrot, to develop solutions for public safety applications.
The company also reports securing its first six-figure order in the US market during the forum.
According to Pranciškus Vaišvila, a defence technology expert at Lithuania’s Innovation Agency, the United States has been one of Lithuania’s key export markets for high-tech products for the past five years. In 2025, the country accounted for 6.2% of Lithuania’s exports of domestically manufactured goods. Establishing a foothold in such a competitive market, he notes, depends not only on technological capabilities but also on strong local partnerships.
“The Lithuania–US Business Forum in Miami brought together representatives from more than 40 Lithuanian and 80 American companies and organisations. These meetings help Lithuanian businesses find partners, gain a better understanding of market needs and create opportunities for commercial agreements. IT Logika shows how those opportunities can translate into tangible business results,” says Vaišvila.
During the visit, IT Logika representatives also visited PortMiami, one of the largest ports in the United States, where they demonstrated a drone flight to port management. The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss how the technology could be used for port security and infrastructure monitoring, and to explore potential future cooperation.
Dr Linas Gelažanskas, CEO of IT Logika, says economic diplomacy can make a significant difference when entering a new market.
“One of the most valuable aspects of the Innovation Agency’s business missions is the role of economic diplomacy and the involvement of officials accompanying the delegation. Their support helps us establish direct contacts with key market players and opens doors that would be much harder to access independently. Ultimately, however, success depends on turning those connections into concrete projects and commercial agreements,” he says.
Lithuanian technology at the heart of a new US emergency response system
The international collaboration has already produced a commercial product. On 22 October, Evolver DFR, an integrated autonomous drone system designed for police, fire and emergency services, was launched in the United States. It was also showcased at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida.
The system combines technologies from three countries: the Lithuanian-made DBOX PRT autonomous docking station, the ANAFI UKR GOV drone developed by French manufacturer Parrot, and FlyAura mission management software from US company SkyfireAI. The complete solution is marketed through Drone Nerds.
Evolver DFR is built around the Drone as First Responder concept, which allows emergency services to deploy drones to incidents before personnel arrive.
When an emergency call is received, a drone can be dispatched from its docking station to the scene, transmitting live video to emergency personnel. This allows responders to assess the situation, identify potential risks and determine what resources are needed before reaching the location.
The system is offered as a complete package, covering equipment, installation, staff training and ongoing technical support.
“Working with our US partners allows us to combine our technology with their expertise in mission management, systems integration and commercial operations. This creates opportunities to develop solutions tailored to the US market and expand their applications,” says Gelažanskas.
Reliability is particularly important for technology used by emergency services, he adds, as equipment must be ready to operate whenever an incident occurs.
“A drone docking station is only useful if it is ready to operate whenever an emergency call comes in. That is why we have adapted DBOX so that the docking station and drone work together as a single system in different weather conditions,” he explains.
Despite its international development, the new product retains a subtle reference to its Lithuanian origins. The Evolver DFR logo features a design reminiscent of the Columns of Gediminas, a historic Lithuanian symbol.
