It lists locations in the United Kingdom, including Tring, Gloucester, Hampshire, Aberdeen and Maidenhead, and in the United States, including Texas, Florida, California, Maryland and Alabama.

Product areas

• Mission software: AI-enabled, open architecture software that brings data from several domains into a clearer operational picture, with products named RAIN, ACTS, Maxwell, Apex and ADSI

The Argus suite tracks, manages and secures tactical data links and equipment from production to end of life. The website says it is used across US and allied Link 16 operations to manage COMSEC equipment through centralised inventory, remote rekey and management control, with support for MIDS JTRS, LVT and STT terminals. Ultra I&C has also announced that it will deliver cryptographic management solutions to the Polish Armed Forces and that it was selected to provide Archer troposcatter technology for an operational trial with the Canadian Armed Forces.
