Precision Actuation for Mission-Critical Defense ApplicationsUltra Motion designs and manufactures high-performance electromechanical actuators engineered to meet the extreme demands of modern defense systems. Our solutions deliver uncompromising reliability, ruggedness, and precision in the most unforgiving operational environments.Engineered for Harsh EnvironmentsWhether installed on a naval vessel, embedded in an aerospace platform, or operating deep underwater, our actuators are built to endure and perform.
Trusted Across Specialized Defense PlatformsUltra Motion actuators are deployed in a wide range of defense and aerospace programs, supporting:
- Rudder, dive-planes, mast deployment, hydrofoils, and pin release mechanisms in Unmanned underwater and surface vehicles (UUVs, USVs)
- Thrust Vector Control of small orbital launch vehicles, orbital transfer vehicles, and lunar landers
- Swashplate and tail-rotor, control surfaces, landing gear, throttle, and brake control of unmanned aerial vehicles
- Shipboard automation, hatches, and sensor positioning systems
- Valve control - subsea to space
Reliability Built InDesigned and manufactured in the USA under strict quality controls, our actuators are designed for high reliability and long service life in mission-critical systems. Ultra Motion supports defense programs with:
