The US Navy is set to gain a serious edge in undersea defense as Ultra Maritime lands a contract to develop a next-gen acoustic device countermeasure (ADC).
Built for rapid deployment, the ADC MK6 generates acoustic signatures that confuse and divert incoming torpedoes, adding a critical layer of undersea protection.
It boasts high operational readiness, stronger acoustic output, and broad platform compatibility, enhancing fleet survivability against advanced torpedo threats.
“Keeping today’s fleets protected in an increasingly contested maritime domain requires systems that are smarter, faster, and fully adaptive,” the company stated.
“With smarter, stealthier, and more lethal torpedoes that easily outmaneuver traditional decoys, the need for next-generation torpedo defense solutions has never been greater.”
Building on Experience
Leveraging a decades-long track record of delivering countermeasure systems to navies worldwide, the program draws on Ultra Maritime’s deep undersea defense experience.
Years of internal investment have strengthened that foundation, enabling the company to equip allied fleets with modern defense capabilities.
Its portfolio spans sonobuoys, sonar systems, and acoustic countermeasures, reflecting a focus on advancing anti-submarine warfare capabilities to meet current and emerging challenges.
