As HAVELSAN, we have signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MoU) with VN Maritime Technologies and Piloda Shipyard in Italy for the development, integration, and commercialization of unmanned and hybrid (manned-unmanned) maritime platforms.
Within the scope of this strategic cooperation for the development, integration, and commercialization of unmanned and hybrid maritime platforms, we aim to sign the first procurement contract in Italy in the first half of 2026.
Under the agreement, VN Maritime Technologies and Piloda Shipyard are authorized as our exclusive representative and industry partner for all unmanned surface vehicle (USV) projects in Italy. In this framework, all USV opportunities for defense, coast guard, public institutions, and private organizations in Italy will be managed through the VN Maritime – Piloda partnership.
