Ultra Maritime Sea Spear – Novel ASW Deployable Systems
The submarine threat is increasing in quantity and quality. New approaches are needed to augment existing systems, to rapidly scale ASW capabilities.
Ultra Maritime introduces our revolutionary new Sea SpearTM underwater sensing technology, providing a rapidly scalable, long endurance, long range surveillance capability to provide cost-effective detection and deterrence of threats in the littorals.
Deployable from crewed or uncrewed surface and covert underwater vehicles, the patent-pending compact 21-inch diameter unit expands to create a high performance, wide-aperture array. Sea Spear can be pre-positioned months before activation.
Each system operates both passively and as a multistatic receiver, and is interoperable with deployable transmitters and Ultra Maritime’s Variable Depth Sonars. The system employs AI/ML and processing at the tactical edge to covertly detect and monitor threats. Tracks are reported using low-bandwidth communication links to a remote Maritime Operations Centre for automated multi-sensor data-fusion.
