Lockheed Martin Ventures has partnered with Rhode Island-based startup HavocAI in a new effort to advance autonomous maritime warfare capabilities for the U.S. military. The collaboration focuses on developing medium unmanned surface vehicles (mUSVs) capable of conducting armed missions at sea without onboard crews.
These drone boats are designed to deliver lower-risk force projection by integrating Lockheed’s weapons expertise with HavocAI’s advanced autonomy software. The initiative reflects a growing shift toward AI-powered naval operations.
