Autonomous systems company Havoc has closed its acquisitions of drone maker Mavrik and supervised autonomy firm Teleo. The deals bring aerial and ground-based autonomous capabilities under Havoc’s single operational architecture, expanding the Providence, R.I.-based company beyond its maritime autonomy roots.
Highlights
- Havoc acquired Mavrik and Teleo, unifying sea, air, and land autonomous systems on a single platform architecture called HavocOS.
- Mavrik adds Group 1 and Group 3 unmanned aerial systems to Havoc’s ecosystem, enabling coordinated air-sea autonomous operations.
- Teleo brings supervised autonomy for heavy machinery across logistics, construction, and mining, where one operator can oversee multiple machines simultaneously.
- Both acquisitions reinforce a human-in-the-loop supervision model rather than fully replacing operators.
Air Domain: Mavrik’s Drone Capabilities
Mavrik, based in Long Beach, Calif., develops heavy-lift drone systems for logistics, disaster response, and field operations. Its Group 1 and Group 3 UAS platforms will now integrate with Havoc’s surface vessels through shared tasking, data, and mission context.
“Havoc’s collaborative autonomy platform is a natural complement to our work,” said Max Owens, Founder and CEO of Mavrik. “Together, we’re expanding how autonomous systems can support essential industries.”
The integration enables air and maritime assets to function as a coordinated force. This represents a shift from standalone platform operations toward unified multi-domain autonomy.
Land Domain: Teleo’s Supervised Autonomy
Teleo, headquartered in Palo Alto, Calif., enables fleet-scale autonomous operations of large vehicles. Its model allows a single operator to supervise multiple machines at once. The company works across logistics, construction, mining, and distributed mobility.
“By combining Teleo’s proven land-domain platform with Havoc’s collaborative autonomy architecture, we can extend fleet-scale supervision across sea, air, and land,” said Vinay Shet, Co-founder and CEO of Teleo.
Teleo’s approach also allows customers to upgrade existing assets rather than replace them. Havoc sees direct defense applications in convoy operations, logistics, and forward operating environments.
Strategic Rationale and Integration
Havoc CEO Paul Lwin framed the deals as customer-driven. “Across global military markets, we consistently hear the need for a single, unified system to command autonomous assets in every domain,” Lwin said.
Both Mavrik and Teleo will integrate into HavocOS and Havoc Control. The company has assigned dedicated leaders to manage integration and technical alignment. Clear Street LLC served as financial advisor on the transactions.
Havoc was founded in 2024 and previously demonstrated what it described as the first live air-sea autonomy mission in a GPS-denied environment.
