HUDOR USV CONVERSIONS

Maritime autonomy without replacing the fleet.

HUDOR is Milanion’s USV conversion capability, designed to transform suitable manned vessels into crewed, remotely operated or autonomous systems while preserving existing hulls, infrastructure and operating knowledge.

Existing vessels. New operational reach.

Many maritime operators already have vessels, crews, facilities and support structures in place. The challenge is introducing autonomous capability without forcing a full fleet replacement programme.

HUDOR focuses on conversion rather than new-build procurement, helping customers extend reach, reduce personnel exposure and introduce autonomy around platforms already familiar to the operator.

Conversion Approach

Built around the vessel already in service.

HUDOR integrates autonomy, operational control and mission payloads into suitable existing vessels, allowing maritime capability to be adapted without replacing the platform beneath it.

Autonomy that can be introduced progressively.

HUDOR allows maritime operators to adopt autonomy in stages. A vessel can remain crewed, operate remotely, or move towards autonomous mission execution depending on the requirement, environment and level of control needed.

This gives customers a practical pathway to build uncrewed maritime capability without losing the option of conventional vessel use.

Maritime applications

Persistent capability across vital waters.

HUDOR can support maritime missions where reach, endurance and reduced personnel exposure are operationally valuable, including maritime ISTAR, port and coastal security, border protection, route inspection, search and rescue, fleet protection and high-risk mission support.

HUDOR sits within Milanion’s wider maritime capability approach, supporting vessel conversion, persistent presence, reduced personnel exposure and operational endurance.

Assess maritime
autonomy around your fleet.

If you are evaluating autonomous or optionally unmanned maritime capability, Milanion can help assess suitable vessels, mission requirements, conversion pathways and support models before committing to new-build platforms.
