Havoc Raises $100M to Expand Collaborative Autonomy

Havoc has announced that it has raised $100 million in Series A funding to accelerate development of collaborative autonomous systems designed to operate across maritime, aerial, and ground environments. The funding round brings the company’s total capital raised since 2024 to approximately $200 million and is intended to support continued expansion of autonomous platforms, software systems, manufacturing capacity, and operational deployment capabilities. <!–more–>

The funding round included participation from CCM Capital Markets, Clear Street LLC, Cobalt Capital, Boardman Bay Capital Management, Meet Perry, Mute Ventures, Soren Ventures, SAIC, and JA Green, alongside existing investors including Outlander VC, Scout VC, B Capital, Lockheed Martin, Taiwania Capital, UP.Partners, The Veteran Fund, and Vanderbilt University’s endowment.

Headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, Havoc develops software-defined autonomous systems intended to support coordinated operations involving large numbers of heterogeneous autonomous assets operating simultaneously across sea, air, and land domains. The company’s autonomy stack is designed to support distributed operations in contested, communications-degraded, and GPS-denied environments.

According to Havoc, the company’s collaborative autonomy architecture enables a single operator to supervise and coordinate large fleets of autonomous systems through integrated command-and-control platforms, autonomous navigation technologies, dynamic path planning, collision avoidance systems, and real-time edge decision-making capabilities.

“We built Havoc around a simple belief: the future of national security depends on collaborative autonomy that works in the real world, not in controlled demos or years from now. In less than two years, we’ve already built one of the most mature collaborative autonomy software stacks in the industry, operating across more than 100 air, surface, and ground platforms,” said Paul Lwin, CEO of Havoc. “Our autonomous platforms and command-and-control systems have already demonstrated that they provide warfighters meaningful capability in the exact environments where future conflicts will occur contested, distributed, and communications-degraded environments. With this funding, we will accelerate deployment across every domain and prove that a single warfighter can task, monitor, and supervise thousands of heterogeneous autonomous systems working together as one force.”

The company stated that its systems have accumulated more than 25,000 hours of autonomous testing and deployment activity across operational maritime, aerial, and terrestrial environments. Havoc also reported deployment of more than 100 autonomous surface vessels globally, including systems supporting U.S. Department of Defense operations.

Havoc recently expanded its operational footprint through additional offices in Austin and San Diego while increasing maritime production capacity in Rhode Island. The company also noted recent acquisitions involving Mavrik and Teleo as part of efforts to unify autonomy capabilities across air, sea, and land systems within a single operational architecture.

The company’s technology approach combines software-defined autonomy platforms with partnerships involving commercial manufacturers, shipbuilders, and additive manufacturing organizations intended to support scalable autonomous system deployment.

“Havoc has done what very few companies in this space have managed,” said Will Graves, Chief Investment Officer at Boardman Bay Capital Management. “They’ve built a truly scalable collaborative autonomy platform that works across all domains, and the demand signal from the U.S. military speaks for itself. This is exactly the category of hard-tech, defense-critical infrastructure we’re eager to support.”

“Havoc is building foundational infrastructure for how autonomous systems will coordinate and act across every domain,” said Dan Abrams, Managing Partner at Cobalt Capital. “That’s a generational platform opportunity, and exactly the kind of category-defining company Cobalt looks to back. We’re proud to be partners and are incredibly excited about what the future holds for Havoc.”
