Ultra Maritime

Ultra Maritime is pleased to announce that we have received an £18 million contract from the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) to supply sonobuoys to the Royal Navy’s Merlin Maritime Patrol Helicopter. Sonobuoys are a critical element of anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities, ensuring the Royal Navy maintains a persistent ASW surveillance capability detecting, locating and tracking hostile submarines in order to protect UK home waters. This award also helps Ultra Maritime invest in UK infrastructure and jobs, creating new high-skilled roles at the company’s London-based facilities. 🔗 https://bit.ly/416oWun #ultramaritime #sonobuoys #UKRoyalNavy #UKjobs

“If the other option is slowing innovation and slowing the advancement of technology because we're just inundated, that seems like the wrong answer. You want to keep technology unbridled, going, pushing forward, and you just need to figure out how to handle it as it comes in.” Ultra Maritime is proud to continue to push forward innovative solutions for allied navies. Our most recent product, the Ultra Maritime Mission Pod, allows arrays to be deployed from a 20-foot ISO container. With sensor payloads largely agnostic to platforms, it’s a first-of -its-kind anti-submarine warfare solution for any fleet of unmanned, and manned, vessels. Thanks to Inside Defense for a great conversation with our Chief Technology Officers Jeremiah Richardson and Andrew Anderson.

Yesterday our SMaP team in Rugeley, UK, participated in a special event called "Wear It Red" to show support for their site's chosen charity of the year, Midlands Air Ambulance Charity. The fleet of three air ambulances and critical care cars serve a large population and rely solely on donations to operate. The team didn't just show up wearing red, they also added a sweet touch with a bake sale to boost donations. Cheers to all who participated in making a positive impact in our communities! #ultramaritime #WearItRed2025 #GivingBack #CommunityImpact

Ultra Maritime has signed a Production Planning contract with Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), taking a concrete step forward in the co-production of U.S. sonobuoys in India. The work between the two companies is well underway, with production and testing halls ready for new lines. Combining Ultra Maritime's U.S. technology and production expertise with BDL's Indian manufacturing track record and supply chain reach shows how U.S. and Indian industry can team rapidly to respond to undersea threats in the Indo-Pacific region. 🔗 https://bit.ly/419z7zt #ultramaritime #MakeInIndia #USIndiaPartnership #sonobuoys

Ultra Maritime will be showcasing a wide range of emerging and existing acoustic, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), unmanned maritime and radar capabilities at AFCEA International WEST in San Deigo this week. Stop by Booth 2133 to learn more about our next generation sonobuoys qualified per U.S. Navy standards and ready to ship globally. There will also be more on the Ultra Maritime Mission Pod, our containerized ASW solution, as well as a first-of-its-kind layered torpedo defense with both soft and hard kill capabilities. #ultramaritime #WEST2025 #ASW #NavalWarfare #unmanned https://bit.ly/3PRfw0s

Really productive day exploring the applicability of Ultra Maritime’s Future ASW solutions to the Royal Norwegian Navy’s unique littoral environment. Tom Trent BEng (Hons) MPhil MRes and I both grateful for the opportunity to work with ASW experts and hone our thinking around autonomy, deployed sensors, modular and distributed solutions. #ultramaritime #futureASW #navy #Norway #autonomy #modular #deployed #exports #innovation #RoyalNorwegianNavy #partnership

⚓ That's a wrap at the 2025 Surface Navy Association's National Symposium in Arlington, Virginia! We had the honor of speaking with Secretary of the Navy, Hon. Carlos Del Toro, and engaging with Navy leaders about the future of defense technology. It was a pleasure to share more about our Ultra Maritime Mission Pod, layered torpedo defense and Next Generation Surface Search Radar (NGSSR) with show attendees. #DefenseInnovation #SurfaceNavy2025 #SNA2025 #ultramaritime

We are proud to announce a substantial advancement in towed array packaging technology that will enable smaller manned and unmanned surface vessels to greatly increase their anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities. We have built upon our rich legacy of sonar capabilities and internally invested in the new Ultra Maritime Mission Pod which has cleared its Critical Design Review (CDR). “The 20-foot containerized Mission Pod will play a significant role in countering both the North Atlantic and Western Pacific submarine threats, as well as other areas of operation, with an automated, flexible and scalable solution for any Navy,” said Carlo Zaffanella, President and CEO of Ultra Maritime. Learn more about this exciting new product at our booth #1018 at the Surface Navy Association’s National Symposium this week. https://bit.ly/3WmaPiT #ultramaritime #UMMissionPod #SNA25 #SurfaceNavy
