Havoc AI Raises $100M in Series A Funding

The company plans to use the funding to speed up technology innovation, advance product development across its multi-domain autonomy platform, and support expansion into new commercial and defense markets.

Defense technology is moving toward a future in which military operations require connected, autonomous systems across air, sea and land. While drones, boats, and autonomous vehicles already exist, the bigger challenge is enabling large numbers of these systems to work together in a coordinated, scalable and reliable way.

Havoc uses a software-defined hardware approach designed to help autonomous systems across multiple domains operate together as one connected force.

Havoc’s software-defined hardware system enables a single operator to manage thousands of autonomous assets operating simultaneously. The company also aims to provide affordable large-scale deployment by partnering with commercial manufacturers that already have unused production capacity.

Havoc enables real time, autonomous decision making across air, land, and sea systems, enabling missions to continue with minimal human control. Its technology combines sensing, planning and control to enable multiple autonomous assets to coordinate and execute complex tasks together. The Havoc platform is modular and compatible with different vehicles and sensors, supporting features such as autonomous navigation, dynamic route planning, and collision avoidance.

"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."

"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," said Paul Lwin, CEO of Havoc.

About Havoc 

Founded in 2024 by Paul Lwin and Joe Turner, Havoc develops autonomous systems for military and commercial use across sea, air, and land. Its software-defined hardware platform enables connected autonomous assets to share information, adapt in real time, and continue operating even in environments with limited or disrupted communications. Havoc’s technology is designed to improve mission performance while reducing risk to human operators.
