Havoc, the all-domain collaborative autonomy company, has announced a $100 million Series A funding round, bringing total capital raised to approximately $200 million since 2024. The round included participation from new investors CCM Capital Markets, Clear Street, 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.
The funding will accelerate innovation, development, and expansion into new markets while strengthening the company’s position across defense and commercial autonomy.
Havoc has built what it describes as a software-defined hardware approach to collaborative autonomy, purpose-built to enable autonomous systems across sea, air, and land to operate together as a unified force — addressing what it calls the critical missing capability in modern defense: the ability for thousands of autonomous assets to work together in a coordinated, scalable, and resilient manner. In less than two years, the company has accumulated more than 25,000 hours of autonomous testing and deployments across contested and GPS-denied environments, collected more than 200 billion data points from autonomous operations, built and deployed more than 100 autonomous surface vessels globally across the U.S., Europe, and the Indo-Pacific, and delivered more than 30 vessels to the U.S. Department of Defense. Strategic acquisitions of Mavrik and Teleo unified sea, air, and land systems under a single operational architecture, while partnerships with Leidos, Lockheed Martin, and SAIC accelerate multi-domain autonomy deployment.
The company now employs more than 200 people and has expanded its national footprint with new offices in Austin and San Diego alongside expanded maritime production in Rhode Island. Havoc has been named a Fast Company Top 10 Most Innovative Company in Defense Tech for 2026 and is a three-time xTech winner with $6 million in SBIR awards. Its board includes former Congressman Devin Nunes, chair of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board.
KEY QUOTES:
“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. 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.”
— Paul Lwin, CEO, Havoc
“Havoc has done what very few companies in this space have managed. 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.”
— Will Graves, Chief Investment Officer, Boardman Bay Capital Management
