Ultra Maritime and General Atomics Announce Strategic Partnership to Revolutionize Unmanned Airborne Anti-Submarine Warfare
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and Ultra Maritime are proud to announce a partnership to substantially advance the state of the art in unmanned airborne detection and tracking of enemy submarines. By combining the world’s most advanced and prolific unmanned aerial system (UAS), GA-ASI’s MQ-9B SeaGuardian®, with the world’s only miniaturized, low power sonobuoys and receivers, the partnership will make it possible for the U.S. and its allies to use sophisticated techniques to track submarines in hostile, GPS-denied environments.
Ultra Maritime Showcases Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Improved Anti-Submarine Warfare Mission Effectiveness at the Combined Naval Event 2025
With the increase in submarine stealthiness and quantity of unmanned platforms, the anti-submarine warfare (ASW) mission is more important than ever to maintain maritime dominance. At the Combined Naval Event in Farnborough, UK, next week, Ultra Maritime will present its unique technology using Artificial Intelligence (AI) as more than just a passive classifier, but rather used at every stage of the ASW command chain including detection, localization, tracking and automated tactical decision making.
Ultra Maritime Collaborates with the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde to Evaluate Next Generation Materials for Underwater Sensing
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.
Ultra Maritime to Enhance ASW capabilities of Marine Nationale in France
Ultra Maritime continues to expand its growing list of customers for the next generation of sonobuoy technologies, and is proud to announce a significant multi-product award from Thales Group in support of Direction Générale de l’Armement (DGA), the French Government’s defense procurement and technology agency.
Ultra Maritime Passes Preliminary Design Review for Next Generation Multistatic Active Receive Sonobuoy
Ultra Maritime has successfully completed the Preliminary Design Review for the Multistatic Active Receive Sonobuoy (MSARS) as part of a UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) funded research and development program. MSARS is a next generation small form factor G-Size sonobuoy which will significantly improve the multistatic detection and localization performance compared to current multistatic sonobuoy technologies.
Ultra Maritime Collaborates with University of Liverpool to Develop Artificial Intelligence for Passive Sonar
Ultra Maritime is pleased to announce a collaboration with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Distributed Algorithms at the University of Liverpool, a UK Research and Innovation funded programme. The research focuses on using machine learning to improve the tracking and detection of vessels using passive sonar, targeted at Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Torpedo Defence applications.
