Ultra Maritime
Ultra Maritime officially opened its new integrated design and manufacturing center in London – Greenford, UK, hosting the right honorable Maria Eagle MP for a ribbon cutting ceremony and tour. Located just 10 miles west of central London, the new facility replaces the previous nearby location with a custom-designed, modern and streamlined work site for Ultra Maritime's UK anti-submarine warfare (ASW) team.
This new facility demonstrates Ultra Maritime's commitment and readiness to support the indigenous manufacturing goals of the UK Ministry of Defence, as well as a strong pivot towards anti-submarine warfare capabilities, recently laid out in the UK Strategic Defence Review. With more than 5600m2 of office space, labs and a manufacturing production floor, Ultra Maritime currently has more than 130 employees on site with plans to expand by at least 50 more employees near term, and further expansion well into the future.
Ultra Maritime has been executing a long-term strategic investment plan, entirely with internal funding, to upgrade or renovate its sites across the UK, U.S., Canada and Australia, while similarly investing in novel, modern, high-tech ASW capabilities built at these facilities. From the latest generation of sonobuoys to entirely new modalities of unmanned ASW, like the Ultra Maritime Mission Pod and Sea Spear in partnership with Anduril, Ultra Maritime is leading the way in creating ASW solutions of the future.
