Metal Shark Partners With HavocAI to Add Collaborative Autonomy to High-Speed USV Fleet

The deal pairs Metal Shark’s high-volume patrol boat production with HavocAI’s autonomy to enable single-operator, swarm-capable surface vessels.

Overview

  • Announced on October 16, the partnership will integrate HavocAI’s platform across Metal Shark’s high-speed maneuverable unmanned surface vessels.
  • The companies say one operator will be able to direct complex missions involving multiple boats at once, with coordinated swarming behaviors.
  • The integration is pitched to support mixed-fleet coordination so vessels of different sizes and capabilities can operate cohesively.
  • HavocAI states its technology is already in use with the US Navy and US Army and by international allies in live settings.
  • Metal Shark cites a track record of more than 2,000 vessels delivered and over 400 autonomous or remotely operated boats, as HavocAI highlights additional 2025 collaborations with Lockheed Martin, PacMar Technologies, and Tocaro Blue.
