Havoc, an all-domain autonomy company, will be participating in the Naval Postgraduate School Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research and Education (CAMRE)’s distributed advanced manufacturing experiment at the biennial Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2026 exercise.
CAMRE’s experiment ties together artificial intelligence, unmanned systems, and advanced manufacturing to sustain the warfighter at the tactical edge.
Havoc will demonstrate how autonomous systems can work together across air and maritime missions, helping operators coordinate vehicles and make decisions more effectively in complex environments.
During the exercise, Havoc’s autonomous surface vessels will autonomously resupply U.S. and allied nation surface vessels in a first-of-its kind multinational autonomous logistics operation.
Havoc’s participation follows its involvement in Balikatan 2026, one of the Indo-Pacific’s largest multinational military exercises, which validated its collaborative autonomy alongside allied forces in demanding operational conditions that cannot be fully replicated through laboratory testing or simulation.
Paul Lwin, co-founder and CEO of Havoc, says RIMPAC represents one of the most important operational environments in the world for validating autonomous capabilities alongside allied and partner forces.
“We are excited to be supporting this broader mission through the Naval Postgraduate School’s Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research and Education (CAMRE) program. The future of maritime operations depends on the ability to coordinate large numbers of autonomous systems across vast distances and contested environments. Exercises like RIMPAC and programs like CAMRE allow us to demonstrate that collaborative autonomy is not a future concept, but a capability operating today.”
Morgan Bower, Hub Director at FLEETWERX, shared that RIMPAC gives them the opportunity to evaluate emerging technologies alongside the fleet in realistic operating conditions.
“The capabilities our industry partners are bringing to the fight could help military forces coordinate more effectively, adapt more quickly, and expand operational flexibility. Exercises like RIMPAC help us understand how these technologies can support real-world missions.”
Hosted by the U.S. Navy’s Third Fleet, RIMPAC 2026 will bring together 31 nations, approximately 40 surface ships, five submarines, 140 aircraft, and more than 25,000 personnel in and around the Hawaiian Islands from June 24 through July 31.
