Unveiling the future of naval warfare at HEMUS 2026! ⚓️
We proudly presented our new Proteus 36 MLC concept—a 37-meter optionally manned Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV)—during the opening of the HEMUS defence exhibition in Plovdiv.
It was a special honor to welcome the President of the Republic of Bulgaria, Ms. Iliyana Yotova, and her Military Adviser, Vice Admiral Mitko Petev. Our Executive Director, Svetlin Stoyanov, had the privilege of briefing them on the platform’s operational concept and advanced capabilities.
Designed for modern Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) and contested A2/AD environments, the Proteus 36 MLC delivers the combat mass of a corvette within a high-speed, 160-ton footprint.
Key Platform Capabilities:
Baseline Lethality & Sensors: Equipped with 3D Radar, Fire Control Radar, and a 30mm CIWS.
True Modularity: An open deck accommodating 20-foot mission modules. Depending on the threat assessment, it can deploy up to 8x Naval Strike Missiles (NSM), or specialized payloads for AAW, ASW, Electronic Warfare (EW), and Mine Countermeasures (MCM).
Autonomous-Ready: Engineered to integrate seamlessly with advanced AI, autonomous control systems, and swarm technologies.
The overwhelming interest from international delegations, naval experts, and industry partners validates MTG-Dolphin's vision: the market demands agile, cost-effective, and highly lethal autonomous solutions.
Thank you to all the stakeholders who joined us at HEMUS 2026 to discuss the future of maritime security!
