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.

With this development, Ultra is said to be undergoing significant remodelling, and it will be interesting to see how it emerges.
