SYDNEY, Australia – As threats in the underwater battlespace proliferate, the need for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) across all domains has never been greater. Ultra Maritime will present its full portfolio of world-leading ASW technology from the air, surface and undersea for unmanned and hybrid fleets at IndoPac 2025 from Nov. 4-6 in Sydney, Australia.

The following is a selection of what will be highlighted at booth #1H26:

Sea Spear – One-of-a-Kind Lightweight Deployable Sonar
Sea Spear was introduced to the world this year and is being used as part of a strategic partnership with Anduril, where its Ghost Shark unmanned underwater vehicle will deliver its Seabed Sentry capability along with Sea Spear to communicate critical subsea information in real time. Ultra Maritime’s Sea Spear is a first-of-its-kind lightweight deployable sonar system that enhances submarine detection capabilities rapidly and inexpensively. Sea Spear provides a solution for long endurance and long-range surveillance capability during a time when submarine detection and tracking matters more than ever. Deployable from manned or unmanned surface and underwater platforms, the 21-inch diameter unit expands to create a high-performance, wide-aperture array.

Electronic Warfare
In an ever-evolving and increasingly complex electromagnetic threat landscape, Ultra Maritime’s Electronic Warfare (EW) systems can detect, track and classify the smallest of targets and deliver informed, critical-decision making data back to the war fighter. With decades of expertise in multi-domain, command and control, cyber security and radio frequency, Ultra Maritime’s EW solutions provide a unique, critical sovereign capability across the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the Royal Australian Airforce (RAAF) and the Australian Army.

Surface Ship Torpedo Defense
Ultra Maritime has made significant investment towards creating a complete layered torpedo defense solution comprised of multiple strategies and systems working together to detect and neutralize incoming torpedo threats. This next generation torpedo defense capability combines expendable countermeasures, both soft and hard kill, with towed detection and countermeasures, ensuring the safety of naval vessels from torpedo attacks. This integrated approach to torpedo defense is critical to address the growing submarine threat by significantly improving our survivability and drastically shortening the kill chain for an inbound threat.

Next Generation Sonobuoys
Ultra Maritime has begun delivery on its next generation sonobuoys, revolutionizing submarine detection technology with unprecedented predictability and detection capabilities, including enhanced battery technology that extends the operational lifespan of active buoys. This breakthrough provides allied navies with a critical edge in undersea warfare, elevating defense operations to a new level of performance.
