Ultra Maritime Collaborates with the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde to Evaluate Next Generation Materials for Underwater Sensing

London, U.K. – Ultra Maritime is pleased to announce a collaboration with the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde though the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Ultrasonic Engineering (FUSE CDT), a UK Research and Innovation program. The research focuses on the evaluation of novel ceramic materials, targeted at Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Torpedo Defense applications. These materials will enable an increase in source levels for active sonars as well as an increase in sensitivity for passive sonars, both of which are critical in developing the next generation of ASW solutions.

 “We are very excited to announce our relationship with FUSE and looking forward to rapidly transitioning this exciting research into Ultra Maritime’s portfolio of ASW and Torpedo Defense systems,” said Andrew Anderson, Ultra Maritime Chief Technology Officer. “This is a great example of where Ultra Maritime is investing in fundamental research to advance UK defence industrial capability.”

Professor Sandy Cochran, of the University of Glasgow, is co-director of FUSE CDT. He said, “It’s great to be working with Ultra Maritime through our world-leading FUSE CDT. The technical excellence of Ultra Maritime matches our own and the materials on which we’re working together will undoubtedly be extremely important for ASW and Torpedo Defense in an increasingly uncertain global environment.”

Ultra Maritime is committed to providing world-leading undersea warfare solutions for today’s missions while developing tomorrow’s technological advances. Ultra Maritime is proud to maintain the highest levels of investment in future ASW technology, and this collaboration is another step in maritime domain advantage for allied navies.
