The partnership has undertaken a commitment to deliver an initial five 20m unmanned surface vessels (USVs) by integrating Milanions Advanced Autonomous Conversion Kit.

The joint team will work closely with a local Indonesian shipyard that has been tasked with designing, building and supplying the boats, as per customer specifications, to tailor and integrate the sophisticated conversion kit solution to meet customer requirements.

The agreement was signed by Davinder Dogra, CEO of Milanion Group and Norman Joesoef, CEO of Republikorp at IDEX 2025, held at ADNEC, Abu Dhabi, where Milanion are showcasing a range of sophisticated defence and security solutions.

Under the newly inked agreement, both companies commit to expand their collaboration and establish a framework for exploring potential opportunities in Indonesia for highly mobile, sophisticated solutions, tailored to local operational requirements.

We are confident that we can create new and innovative solutions that will enhance customer capabilities based on local requirements.”
