Havoc, the all-domain collaborative autonomy company, announced a $100 million Series A funding round, bringing the company’s total capital raised to ~$200 million since 2024. The round included participation from new investors CCM Capital Markets, Clear Street LLC, Cobalt Capital, Boardman Bay Capital Management, Meet Perry, Mute Ventures, Soren Ventures, SAIC, and JA Green. Existing investors included Outlander VC, Scout VC, B Capital, Lockheed Martin, Taiwania Capital, UP.Partners, and The Veteran Fund, alongside participation from Vanderbilt University’s endowment.
Defense technology is entering a new era where national security priorities are demanding unified, all-domain autonomy. The blueprint for building drones, boats, and vehicles exists. What is missing is the ability for thousands of autonomous assets to work together in a way that is coordinated, collaborative, scalable, and resilient. Havoc’s software-defined hardware approach is unlike anything on the market today, purpose-built to enable autonomous systems across sea, air, and land to operate together as a unified force.
“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.”

Havoc’s software-defined hardware approach enables one-to-many, with a single operator supervising thousands of autonomous assets working together. The Havoc model provides immediate affordable mass by partnering with commercial manufacturers with existing excess capacity.
Havoc delivers real-time decision-making at the edge through all-domain collaborative autonomy, enabling persistent autonomous tasking. Autonomy at the edge fuses sensing, planning, and control, enabling heterogeneous assets to self-organize and execute complex missions with minimal supervision. The Havoc stack is modular and works with any platform or sensor to support autonomous navigation, dynamic path planning, and collision avoidance.
An intuitive, mission focused user interface enables a single operator to command, monitor, and re-task autonomous assets at the scale of thousands, reducing cognitive load and collapsing the distance between operator intent and execution.
“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.”
