Leading the Way
Ultra has an excellent reputation for delivering military capability, to cost and schedule, in our traditional niche markets. However, as the threat changes, we are combining those established values of innovation and efficiency with agility and flexibility, delivering effective solutions in the shortest possible timescales. Achieving this level of responsiveness demands both a creative approach in design and development as well as in the commercial relationships established to meet these needs. Ultra is at the forefront of such changes, including :
- Military off-the-shelf solutions for one-shot mine disposal
- Long-term transfer to full in-country support, such as targeting pods for Typhoon
- Capability rotation; enabling assets to be role fit in very short timescales on the Surface Ship Torpedo Defence Programme
Ultra's business model is evolving, wit increasing emphasis on systems integration using the broad capabilities within the Group or teaming with partners worldwide to bring together genuine 'Best of Breed' solutions.
In every case, through-life cost is fully considered from the outset. The use of open architecture solutions offer maximum flexibility, allowing low-cost technology insertions and straight forward migration between hardware platforms, significantly reducing the impact of obsolescence and making legacy an obsolete term. Ultra will continue to build these capabilities, ensuring that changing threats can be met with evolving solutions using the best technology available.
Since its conception in 1993, Ultra Electronics has established an outstanding pedigree in supplying high technology, high value products defence markets worldwide.
On the foundation of a proven capability in the design, manufacture and support of electronic and electromechanical systems, subsystems and products, we have continued to grow our business through investment, strategic teaming arrangements and selected acquisitions.
Being engineering-lead, our solutions are technically innovative not least due to our proactive approach; each year we invest around 20% of sales value into product development.
We understand our customers' increasing budgetary pressures and meet their needs by delivering equipment offering optimum whole-life costs of ownership from affordable initial acquisition.
