MAVRIK

What MAVRIK does

MAVRIK is a Long Beach, California-based drone technology company founded in 2023 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Havoc (HavocAI) since March 11, 2026. Its core product is the HATCHET autonomous aerial platform, recognized with a U.S. Army Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award in 2026, designed for defense and national-security applications including Special Operations Forces programs and contested multi-domain operations.

MAVRIK's technology is integrated into Havoc's unified all-domain collaborative autonomy architecture — comprising HavocOS (edge autonomy), Havoc C2 (one-to-many command and control), Havoc Insights (AI/analytics fusion) and Havoc Connect (DDIL networking) — enabling coordinated sea, air and land missions under a single operator. As a subsidiary, MAVRIK contributes the aerial domain to a platform that, per parent disclosures, has over 100 autonomous surface vessels deployed globally and more than 25,000 hours of autonomous operations, and is validated by defense customers including the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, Anduril, CACI, DIU, Lockheed Martin, NASA, SAIC and Scientific Systems.

The company generates revenue primarily through U.S. defense contracts and SBIR awards, with an enterprise field-sales go-to-market executed through Havoc's defense-event presence and relationships with major prime contractors. Pre-acquisition, MAVRIK had raised approximately $1.4M in a November 2023 round; since the 2026 acquisition it benefits from the parent's ~$200M total funding (including a $100M Series A in May 2026 led with Lockheed Martin and including SAIC, B Capital and Vanderbilt's endowment). The company is small (1–10 employees) and pricing is not publicly disclosed, with contracts negotiated individually against government procurement.

Core offering

MAVRIK develops high-capacity modular autonomous aerial drone technology for defense and national security missions. Its primary product, the HATCHET platform, is an autonomous aerial drone system that integrates into Havoc's unified all-domain collaborative autonomy architecture (HavocOS and Havoc C2), enabling a single operator to coordinate autonomous assets across sea, air, and land environments. The platform received U.S. Army SBIR award recognition for defense applications.

Product overview

MAVRIK is an autonomous aerial drone technology company based in Long Beach, California, acquired by HavocAI in March 2026 as part of Havoc's strategy to expand from maritime autonomy into air and land domains. The company's primary product is the HATCHET autonomous aerial platform, which received a U.S. Army SBIR award. MAVRIK integrates into Havoc's unified all-domain autonomy architecture (HavocOS and Havoc Control), enabling autonomous systems across sea, air, and land to operate as a coordinated force. As a subsidiary of HavocAI, MAVRIK contributes aerial domain capabilities to Havoc's collaborative autonomy software suite.

Direct peers

• Anduril Industries: Anduril builds autonomous defense systems across air, land, and sea, with a flagship Lattice command-and-control platform. It is a direct competitor to Havoc/MAVRIK's all-domain autonomy thesis and is a listed partner/trust relationship of Havoc's parent, reflecting overlapping customer targeting in DoD.
• Shield AI: Shield AI develops autonomous aerial systems (V-BAT) and Hivemind autonomy software for defense, directly competing with MAVRIK's HATCHET and HavocOS in the DoD autonomous-aircraft segment. Both target UAS for contested environments with similar multi-asset mission profiles.
• Skydio: Skydio is a leading U.S. autonomous drone manufacturer with a significant defense and public-safety business, and a key competitor to MAVRIK in tactical autonomous aerial systems. Both companies pursue DoD and federal contracts for autonomous UAS.
• Auterion: Auterion provides an open-source, multi-vendor drone operating system and autonomy stack for defense and commercial customers, competing directly with HavocOS for the air-domain autonomy layer that MAVRIK's HATCHET runs on. Both target government and prime-contractor integrations of heterogeneous UAS fleets.

Broad incumbents

• AeroVironment: AeroVironment is a publicly traded incumbent in small and tactical military UAS (Switchblade, Puma) and a long-standing DoD supplier. MAVRIK competes with AeroVironment for the same Army and special-operations UAS programs MAVRIK is targeting via SBIR.
• Kratos Defense & Security Solutions: Kratos designs and produces high-performance unmanned aerial systems, including target drones and jet-powered tactical UAS. Its experience with larger, higher-capacity UAS makes it a relevant incumbent peer for MAVRIK's "high-capacity modular" positioning.
• General Atomics Aeronautical Systems: General Atomics is the prime contractor for the MQ-9 Reaper and MQ-1 Predator and a dominant incumbent in DoD medium-altitude long-endurance UAS. As MAVRIK's high-capacity cargo/manned drone ambitions scale, GA-ASI is the most relevant incumbent peer for larger DoD UAS programs.
• SAIC: SAIC is a large DoD systems integrator and a Havoc Series A investor, with deep autonomy and C2 programs across defense agencies. It represents a broad incumbent peer / investor pattern relevant to MAVRIK's go-to-market and prime-contractor alignment.
• Teledyne FLIR Defense: Teledyne FLIR supplies tactical UAS (Black Hornet, SkyRanger) and integrated sensor-autonomy solutions to DoD and allied customers, making it a relevant incumbent peer in the small-to-medium autonomous defense UAS market MAVRIK addresses.

Emerging players

• Saronic Technologies: Saronic is a venture-backed U.S. company building autonomous surface vessels for the Navy — a direct parallel to Havoc's maritime autonomy core and therefore a relevant peer for evaluating MAVRIK's parent platform and the broader all-domain autonomy thesis.
