Ultra Maritime has successfully completed maritime trials of the Multistatic Active Receive Sonobuoy (MSARS) in Scotland, a key component of the UK's submarine detection strategy. Developed with the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, the MSARS aims to deploy autonomous systems for submarine identification and monitoring.
