About Kaikoa 42.2

Kaikoa is a 42-foot autonomous surface vessel built by PacMar Technologies and operated through Havoc’s collaborative-autonomy stack. The twin-engine platform carries larger payloads and operates farther from shore than the company’s compact Rampage craft, while remaining small enough for distributed fleet and logistics missions.

Kaikoa has completed autonomous sea trials, escort formations, security operations and long-distance logistics work. During RIMPAC 2026, a Kaikoa 42.2 transported a replacement component across approximately 40 nautical miles to a coalition support vessel. Havoc operates the platform alongside heterogeneous vessels under a shared mission-control environment.
