In October, the United Arab Emirates welcomed technology leaders from around the world. It hosted the world's largest technology and innovation exhibition, GITEX Global 2025. Representatives from Lithuania also traveled to Dubai, where the conference was held.
A total of six Lithuanian companies demonstrated their technological advances at the national stand. One of them was IT Logika, which brought the DBOX project.
"We brought a drone base station, which is like a 'garage' for a drone, where it can live, be heated, cooled, charged, and otherwise serviced. These 'garages' are located on the roofs of city buildings or in other locations, and we can control the drones from anywhere in the world," said dr. Linas Gelažanskas, the creator and developer of DBOX.
For example, this technology is already in use in Vilnius. The Vilnius City Municipality has installed these drone base stations on the roofs of city buildings. Municipal companies control the drones themselves and use artificial intelligence to identify certain elements of the city's infrastructure. For example, one of the areas of activity is monitoring the waste management system. "Every day, Vilnius city trash cans are photographed twice and monitored to see what is around them—whether there is bulky waste, whether they are blocked so that the garbage truck cannot take away the trash, or if the container is open, because then birds can carry away the trash and litter the area. This alone has halved the tonnage of bulky waste in Vilnius," he said, presenting the technology.
The reason is simple, explains Gelažanskas: it doesn't hurt people to put a second piece of bulky waste next to the container, but it's more difficult to leave the first one out of place. This is just one of dozens of areas where this system can be used. He says that the technology developed by Lithuanians is gradually being adopted by the Dubai municipality, police, road transport administration, and areas where illegal littering is being combated.
The innovation storm has officially went through the GITEX Global at Dubai.
Proud to represent Lithuania among the country’s leading innovators at one of the world’s largest and most influential tech and startup events.
At the Lithuanian Pavilion, we were showcasing DBOX - an advanced drone-in-a-box solution that highlights how Lithuanian innovation is redefining the next generation of smart technologies.
We’re excited to connect, collaborate, and explore new horizons for intelligent and autonomous systems.
On 2nd October 2026 we participated in the Drone Day exhibition, an annual event organised by the Ministry of National Defense of Lithuania.
The event brought together Lithuania’s drone and anti-drone ecosystem to showcase the latest technologies, exchange knowledge, and explore future collaboration opportunities.
DBOX was presented to the Minister of National Defence, Dovilė Šakalienė, as part of Lithuania’s growing defence innovation landscape.
Proud to contribute to important advancements in the field!

Coptrz is one of the UK’s fastest-growing drone solution providers, trusted by over 1,000 organisations in public safety, infrastructure, and enterprise. Their market reach and expertise make them the perfect partner to bring our DBOX autonomous docking stations to the UK and Ireland.
DBOX solutions integrate seamlessly with platforms such as Anzu Robotics and Parrot, and we’re proud to be bringing this cutting-edge technology to our clients in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
This agreement establishes a solid DBOX presence in the UK for the next two years and marks the start of a strong collaboration to deliver the future of autonomous drone operations across the region.
Exciting times ahead – and this is just the beginning.
DBOX at MSPO 2025—one of Europe’s most important defence industry exhibitions. We showcased the DBOX Drone-in-a-Box solution, built to transform perimeter surveillance and site security through advanced automation and 24/7 remote operations. Live demos highlighted automated launch, rapid charging and secure data handling, making DBOX mission-ready for border protection, critical infrastructure, and defence sites.
We were proud to exhibit at the Lithuanian National Stand together with Innovation Agency Lithuania, marking a significant milestone for our company and a step forward for the future of defence innovation.
We are proud to announce the continuation of our collaboration with Parrot SA, Europe’s leading drone manufacturer, headquartered in France. Parrot maintains a firm leadership position in the professional drone segment across Europe and remains a trusted supplier to NATO countries and government agencies worldwide.
Together, we are working on integrating Parrot’s cutting-edge drone technology into the DBOX autonomous drone-in-a-box system. The upcoming solution will feature GPS-jamming resistance and fully operational flight modes even without GPS — a game-changing capability for defense and critical infrastructure applications.
By combining Parrot’s secure aerial systems with DBOX’s autonomous deployment platform, we aim to deliver one of the most robust and versatile drone-in-a-box solutions for the security and defense sectors.
We are proud of this partnership and remain committed to advancing European innovation in autonomous aerial systems.
From May 14–16, our team took part in the Supply, Security & Defense Expo (SSD) 2025 in Tallinn, Estonia — a key regional event bringing together exhibitors and procurement specialists in the fields of defense, rescue, and resilience technologies.
At the exhibition, we showcased our flagship product — DBOX, the autonomous drone-in-a-box solution tailored for real-time surveillance and secure operations. Visitors had the opportunity to test DBOX control on-site, experiencing how easily a demo flight can be launched from anywhere in the world with just an internet connection.
We were thrilled by the feedback from defense and security professionals — many expressed surprise at how intuitive and simple the system is to operate, requiring just a few clicks to launch pre-planned drone missions.
The intelligent software powering DBOX ensures seamless autonomous flights over protected areas, enabling real-time data collection for security agencies and responsible authorities.
On May 7–8, our team participated in Baltic Miltech Summit 2025, where we presented the latest version of DBOX — our advanced solution for autonomous defense operations.
The event attracted strong interest from both local and international stakeholders. We were honored to be among the selected organizations to sign a Memorandum of Cooperation with the Innovation Agency, Lithuanian Armed Forces, State Border Guard Service, Police Department, leading universities, and technology parks.
This milestone marks a significant step forward in our mission to drive next-generation defense innovation.
