The USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) recently completed sea trials, equipped with Ultra Maritime’s cutting-edge AN/SPS-73(V)18 Next Generation Surface Search Radar (NGSSR). This state-of-the-art radar system, built on a software-based architecture, prioritizes safe navigation, surface search, and periscope detection capabilities.

As the Chief Technology Officer for a company whose purpose is ‘innovating today for a safer tomorrow’ it probably comes as little surprise that I am never far away from the topic of innovation. As our teams work to ensure decision advantage for our customers in some of the world’s most demanding situations, we must constantly interrogate whether the solutions we are developing will truly solve their most complex challenges.

 Ultra Maritime is launching a full re-evaluation of its current supply base. This initiative will drive efforts towards a supply approach with a strong focus on providing best value solutions to our customers, while prioritizing speed to market of high-quality products.

Ultra Maritime (Ultra) and UMS SKELDAR are pleased to announce that they have been awarded a 2nd Phase contract under the Department of National Defence’s (DND) Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program, which will explore the development of a Rotary Wing UAS to provide an Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) sonobuoy dispensing capability, based on the SKELDAR V-200 Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS).

Ultra Sonobuoy Systems (Ultra) has been selected as a qualified vendor for a Multiple Award Delivery Order Contract (MADOC). This contract will provide a vehicle for Ultra to supply the U.S. Navy (USN) with next-generation sonobuoys for the next five years.
