Ultra Maritime Awarded Development Contract for the Next Generation Acoustic Device Countermeasure

BRAINTREE, Mass., Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The rapid evolution of adversary torpedo technology is redefining the undersea battlespace. With smarter, stealthier and more lethal torpedoes that easily outmaneuver traditional decoys, and that adapt and re-acquire targets with remarkable precision, the need for next-generation torpedo defense solutions has never been greater. Ultra Maritime has been awarded a development contract for the next generation Acoustic Device Countermeasure (ADC) MK6 from the U.S. Navy, to provide technology that can address these threats.

Keeping today’s fleets protected in an increasingly contested maritime domain requires systems that are smarter, faster and fully adaptive.
