We are pleased to announce our Lanyard Sponsor, HavocAI who are revolutionizing maritime autonomy. Founded in 2024, HavocAI is bringing scalable maritime autonomy solutions and our ultra-low cost, high-rate production ASVs (Autonomous Surface Vessels) to the defense and commercial markets at the speed of relevance. HavocAI is poised to field thousands of autonomous multi-mission maritime assets in domains of pressing need, providing genuinely affordable mass efficiently and expeditiously

The evolution of maritime autonomy isn't about adding more unmanned vessels to the water – it's
about creating seamless human-machine integration that executes human intent at machine
speed. A single operator anywhere in the world can issue complex mission tasks like patrol,
search and rescue, blockade, or es**rt and Havoc's collaborative autonomy orchestrates these
missions across dozens or even thousands of platforms simultaneously. This isn't just hardware
or software; it's complete mission capability. The system integrates seamlessly across diverse
platforms, delivering persistent operational coverage where affordable, fully-integrated systems
work together to match the capabilities of much larger, costlier alternatives.
Havoc's partnerships with industry leaders like Hanwha, Lockheed Martin, and PacMar
Technologies enable rapid, reliable scaling of both capability and capacity – typically at just 10-
20% of competitors' costs. Havoc brings battle-tested collaborative autonomy to commercial and
defense missions where cost efficiency, operational safety, and response speed are critical.
Whether it's for defense or commercial purposes, Havoc transforms how organizations approach
maritime operations by putting powerful autonomous capabilities within reach of commercial
operators who need reliable, cost-effective solutions for their most challenging maritime
missions.
