Ultra offers a family of surface ship combat management and mission systems, which integrate sensor and effectors to provide picture compilation, tactical analysis decision-making, response and engagement solutions

Ultra has over 30 years of experience in designing, manufacturing and integrating weapon interface management systems into both combat systems and weapon systems. Such capabilities are key to weapon safety, providing the safety interlock between combat management systems and weapon handling and launch systems. The capability and flexibility provided by Ultra’s weapon interface systems has been significantly increased through the use of COTS-based products. This allows the interface system to be easily upgraded, enabling the integration of a wide selection of current and future weapons and interfaces.
