In a important move toward bolstering maritime security, Milanion Group, a leader in advanced defense and security solutions, has signed a contract with Republikorp (RDI) to equip teh Indonesian Navy with five 20-meter Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs).This collaboration marks a major step forward in deploying cutting-edge autonomous technology to enhance naval capabilities.
The partnership will see Milanion’s Advanced Autonomous Conversion Kit integrated into five existing 20-meter vessels, transforming them into refined USVs. This kit will empower the Indonesian Navy with highly mobile, autonomous platforms capable of performing a wide range of tasks, including surveillance, patrol, and mine detection. “This collaboration is a testament to the complementary strengths of our two companies,” stated Davinder Dogra, CEO of Milanion Group. “We are confident that we can create new and innovative solutions that will enhance customer capabilities based on local requirements.”
The agreement underscores the growing global trend of adopting unmanned vessels for enhanced maritime security and operational efficiency. USVs offer significant advantages over conventional manned vessels, including reduced costs, increased endurance, and enhanced safety for personnel. The Indonesian navy’s decision to embrace this technology reflects its commitment to modernization and its recognition of the transformative potential of autonomous systems.
The integration process will involve close collaboration between Milanion, Republikorp, and a local Indonesian shipyard. The shipyard will design, build, and supply the vessels, while Milanion and republikorp will work together to tailor and integrate the advanced conversion kit to meet the specific requirements of the Indonesian Navy.

Revolutionizing Maritime Security: A Conversation with Davinder Dogra of Milanion Group
Davinder Dogra, CEO of milanion Group, recently guided his company to a important contract with Republikorp (RDI) to equip the Indonesian Navy with five 20-meter Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs). We sat down with Dogra to discuss this innovative project and the broader impact of autonomous technology on maritime security.
Interview with Davinder Dogra,CEO,Milanion Group
Archyde: Milanion Group has been at the forefront of advanced defense and security solutions. Can you tell us about this exciting collaboration with Republikorp to equip the Indonesian Navy with usvs?
Davinder Dogra: Indeed, this collaboration is a significant step for us and our partner, Republikorp. We are integrating our Advanced Autonomous Conversion Kit into five 20-meter vessels, transforming them into usvs tailored to the Indonesian Navy’s unique needs.
Archyde: USVs offer considerable advantages over conventional manned vessels. How do you see this technology transforming naval operations?
davinder Dogra: usvs offer enhanced endurance, reduced costs, and, most importantly, increased safety for personnel. They can operate in hazardous environments, such as mine detection or persistent surveillance, keeping sailors out of harm’s way. Moreover,they can be used for communication relays,extending the reach of naval networks.
Archyde: The integration process involves a local Indonesian shipyard. How does this collaboration foster local industry advancement?
Davinder Dogra: Collaboration is key in the defense industry. By involving a local shipyard, we’re not only able to tailor the USVs to the indonesian Navy’s specific requirements but also contribute to the development of local industry capabilities. This fosters knowledge-sharing and capacity-building, which is beneficial for all parties involved.
Thoughts on the Growing trend of Autonomous Maritime Systems
Archyde: With global adoption of unmanned vessels on the rise, what steps do you think are necessary to ensure triumphant integration into naval operations?
Davinder Dogra: Successful integration relies on three key factors: reliable technology, extensive training for operators, and robust communication protocols. As autonomous systems become more prevalent, we’ll also need to address ethical and legal questions, such as those surrounding autonomous decision-making in crisis situations. I look forward to seeing the industry’s progress in these areas.
