Havoc, a company focused on drone and autonomous systems operating across every domain, has closed two acquisitions that bring aerial and ground platforms into its existing maritime autonomy business. The company acquired Mavrik, a Long Beach, California-based unmanned aerial systems developer, and Teleo, a Palo Alto, California-based supervised autonomy firm focused on heavy ground vehicles. Both deals were announced and closed in March 2026.
Mavrik develops Group 1 and Group 3 unmanned aerial systems built for missions that require scale, coordination, and reliability. Its aircraft are designed for logistics, disaster response, and critical field operations. Teleo enables a single operator to manage multiple large autonomous vehicles at the same time, with proven deployments across construction, mining, and logistics environments. Both companies will be integrated into HavocOS and Havoc Control, Havoc’s core software and command platforms.
The two acquisitions move Havoc from a maritime-focused company into a true all-domain operator, with platforms covering sea, air, and land. The underlying supervision model across all three domains follows the same principle: a single operator maintaining oversight of multiple autonomous assets at once, rather than managing each platform individually. Havoc describes this approach as amplifying human oversight rather than removing operators from the loop.
Drone and Autonomous Systems Brought Together Under One Architecture
Before these acquisitions, Havoc’s drone and autonomous systems were concentrated in the maritime domain. Integrating Mavrik’s aerial platforms into the same command architecture as Havoc’s surface vessels allows air and maritime assets to share tasking, mission data, and situational awareness in real time. This kind of cross-domain coordination is increasingly important in defense environments where isolated platforms operating through separate interfaces create gaps in coverage and slow response times.
“Mavrik builds heavy-lift drone systems for missions where scale, coordination, and reliability matter most, from logistics and disaster response to critical field operations. Havoc’s collaborative autonomy platform is a natural complement to our work. Together, we’re expanding how autonomous systems can support essential industries.” Max Owens, Founder and CEO, Mavrik
Teleo’s land-domain capability adds direct relevance for defense logistics, convoy operations, and forward operating environments where distributed ground vehicles need to be managed at scale. One of Teleo’s core advantages is that its supervised autonomy model works with existing vehicles rather than requiring new hardware, which reduces cost and shortens deployment timelines. Havoc plans to apply the same scalable supervision model that powers its maritime platforms to Teleo’s ground operations and Mavrik’s aerial systems.
Havoc was founded in 2024 and is headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island. The company operates across military and commercial markets. Dedicated integration teams have been assigned to both acquisitions to manage technical alignment while maintaining continuity for existing customers during the transition period.
Defense and Commercial Sectors Both Part of the Expansion
The acquisitions serve two market tracks simultaneously. On the defense side, the combined platform addresses growing demand from military customers for a single, unified system to command autonomous assets across every domain. Havoc’s CEO Paul Lwin has stated the company consistently hears from global military customers that they need their air, sea, and ground systems to function as a coordinated force rather than isolated platforms. The Mavrik and Teleo additions are a direct response to that requirement.
On the commercial side, Teleo’s existing customer base in construction and mining brings active deployments outside of defense markets. Mavrik’s applications in logistics and disaster response add further commercial scope. Together, the acquisitions expand Havoc’s addressable market well beyond the military contracts that defined its first two years as a company.
The broader defense technology market has been shifting toward integrated multi-domain platforms that combine drone and autonomous systems under unified command. Companies that can move quickly to deliver that kind of system across sea, air, and land are well positioned as both military procurement and commercial automation continue to grow. The Mavrik and Teleo acquisitions place Havoc directly in that category.
