Havoc CEO Paul Lwin and Senesco Marine President Ted Williams, both military veterans and graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy, joined U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., a ranking member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, to announce the venture.
Senesco plans to integrate Havoc’s collaborative autonomy software into its manufactured vessels to create scalable, mission-ready platforms for defense and commercial use while positioning Havoc within the broader U.S. defense and ocean-technology supply chain.
“The future is autonomy and AI, and we’re seeing it,” Reed said. “We’re seeing it in Ukraine; we’re seeing it across the globe.”
The partnership is “an important step for American shipbuilding,” according to a LinkedIn post from Havoc.
