Developed as an affordable and highly mass-producible platform, the Rampage USV focuses on overwhelming adversaries through decentralized swarm tactics. The drone’s core strength lies in its advanced Havoc AI autonomy software, which enables seamless coordination with other robotic systems even when GPS and satellite communications are completely jammed. Its modular payload design allows it to quickly adapt to various mission profiles, transitioning easily from intelligence gathering to direct kinetic strikes. In military demonstrations, the vessel has even served as a mothership, successfully transporting and launching sub-surface autonomous vehicles to orchestrate multi-domain naval operations. Supported by strategic partnerships with major defense giants, the technologies proven on the Rampage are now scaling to larger, missile-carrying autonomous combat ships.
