HavocAI Inc.

Established in 2024 by co-founders Paul Lwin and Joe Turner and based in Rhode Island, US, HavocAI Inc. provides autonomous maritime solutions, addressing challenges in the research, development, and production of uncrewed surface vessels (USVs). In October 2025, HavocAI Inc. raised USD 85 million in venture funding from new investors BCapital, In-Q-Tel, Lockheed Martin Ventures, Hanwha Asset Management, Taiwania Capital, Vanderbilt University Endowment, UP.

Partners, Island Green Capital Management, Zero Infinity Partners. Returning investors Scout Ventures, Outlander VC, and other unspecified investors also participated in the round. HavocAI Inc. offers an end-to-end solution for the planning, tasking, and control of large fleets of USVs.

The company offers a library of pre-defined behaviours that users can assemble to create custom mission plans for the USVs. This building block approach simplifies the process of adapting the vessels to specific tasks without needing to design from scratch. Additionally, HavocAI provides an intuitive, cloud-based user interface for assigning mission objectives to USV teams. The platform uses AI to optimise task distribution across a fleet.

The platform allows users to control 1,000s of USVs through an intuitive, cloud-based interface. The autonomous systems onboard the USVs execute and adapt mission plans in real time, even in the event of communication loss or GPS degradation. This onboard autonomy allows the fleet to operate in contested environments with minimal human intervention. The company plans to utilize the October 2025 funding to scale its autonomous maritime platforms, expand vessel integration, increase manufacturing capacity, and support international operations.
