Our take
Ultra is a systems and sub-system provider specialising in solutions for the defence, security, critical detection, and control industries. The company comprises maritime, forensics, and energy divisions, an intelligence and communications division, and a unit working in Precision Control Systems for aerospace.
Ultra operates in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, working with clients including the US Department of Defense, and BAE. In 2022, Ultra was acquired – to some controversy – by US private equity firm Advent International. Concerns about the sale of a UK defence firm to a foreign entity caused the government to get involved before the deal, only allowing the acquisition under a pile of conditions.
Since then, Ultra has been undergoing active portfolio reshaping, including the planned divestment of its Precision Control Systems business and increased investment in areas such as cyber, intelligence, and mission-critical defence technologies. These moves suggest a tighter focus on Ultra's core defense capabilities, and the company's ongoing remodeling will be key in determining how it positions itself within the evolving defence and security landscape.
