DARTMOUTH - Ultra Electronics announced that its Maritime Systems division in Nova Scotia, Canada has entered into an Underwater Defence Co-operation Program with the Netherlands' Defence Material Organisation (DMO).

The Co-operation Program is the culmination of a series of contracts between the Netherlands and Maritime Systems, the most recent of which was a $25 M (CDN) contract awarded to Ultra in July to supply low frequency active-passive sonar subsystems for DMO's Multistatic Active Passive Sonar (MAPS) project. The equipment will be installed on the Royal Netherlands Navy's M-class frigates. The Co-operation Program puts in place a mechanism between DMO and Ultra for support and future development of the equipment to meet the Dutch Navy's needs through the MAPS life cycle and to market variants of the sonar to allied navies worldwide.
"We are extremely pleased to enter into the Co-operation Program with the Netherlands Ministry of Defence. This program pays homage to the long and close association between The Netherlands and Canada." said Jim Hanlon, president of Ultra Electronics Maritime Systems.
