EvoLogics Showcases 55-Pound Quadroin Drone at DALO Days as Baltic Cable Threats Spur Demand

Summary

  • Herning’s DALO Industry Days is featuring EvoLogics’ 55-pound Quadroin, a penguin-shaped autonomous underwater drone pitched as a low-cost tool for Baltic seabed surveillance.
  • 10-knot top speed and more than 10 hours of runtime stem from a body shape EvoLogics says cuts drag sharply versus torpedo-like designs, helping the drone cover more ground on the same battery.
  • Onboard AI flags sonar and video targets during missions, while side-scan sonar, two HD cameras and collision-avoidance sonar let the 150-meter-rated vehicle inspect seafloor infrastructure with limited human review.
  • At least 11 Baltic cables have been severed or damaged since October 2023, pushing NATO and regional governments toward persistent autonomous monitoring rather than relying only on crewed patrols.
  • That shift has created a timely sales opening: eight allies signed a February 2026 letter to expand X-Baltic autonomous fleets, though EvoLogics has not disclosed any military Quadroin contract.
