The EO system features high-resolution video performance, extensive automation levels, and the latest proven sensors and servo technologies. It has been developed using a common set of commercially/modified off-the-shelf (COTS / MOTS) baseline modules.

Designed based on Type 2500, Ultra’s modular system can be assembled as per requirements and allows easy interface with ship systems.

Equipped on platforms such as small patrol boats, naval surface combatants, auxiliary ships, and aircraft carriers, the systems are capable of operating in arctic and tropical waters, and other extreme climate conditions and changes.

Ultra CSS managing director Mike Williams said: “Ultra is pleased to be engaged with Babcock in supporting this important frontline system and looks forward to delivering high levels of availability and service throughout the contract.”
