What it means: how likely this posting is sitting open without active hiring.How to read it: 60% or higher means we think this is a ghost. Lower scores are less of a worry.How we score it: age, reposts, open roles vs team size, how fast jobs close, and whether pay is listed.Fine print: an estimate from public data, not a judgment of the company. Real jobs can score high, so treat it as a hint, not a fact.

HavocAI is a developer of collaborative autonomy for maritime operations, offering a modular software and vehicle stack that enables fleets of autonomous maritime systems to perform contested logistics, sensor fusion and tracking, domain awareness, and escort-and-engage missions. Their product suite includes onboard autonomy (HAVOC OS), scalable communications (HAVOC CLOUD), and a handheld operator interface (HAVOC CONTROL), marketed as a single solution for theater-scaled security and rapid deployment. HavocAI emphasizes real-time, team-led autonomous solutions that run across diverse environments and supports both hardware (autonomous vessels) and software deployment.
