About Havoc
Havoc treats each vessel as a networked sensing, communications or effects node within a larger autonomous fleet. Mission software distributes objectives across the available platforms and coordinates routes, formation, surveillance and payload use without requiring an operator to steer each vessel continuously.
Its software-defined hardware approach allows the same collaborative-autonomy layer to extend across surface, air and land systems. Maritime fleets can be configured for domain awareness, escort, logistics, electronic warfare or strike, with local autonomy maintaining coordinated behaviour through intermittent communications.

Events
- 2026-08-17 - Partnership - Blue Ops and Havoc partner on collaborative autonomy for uncrewed vessels
The planned integration covers the Variant 7 and future Blue Ops platforms, supporting coordinated multi-vessel operations for U.S. and allied defense customers. The companies plan operational fleets at Havoc's Rhode Island headquarters and Blue Ops' Florida headquarters for demonstrations, testing, training and operational evaluation. Blue Ops and Red Cat will introduce Havoc's autonomy stack to their customers, while Havoc will market Blue Ops vessels and the parties will jointly pursue integrated maritime-system opportunities.
