Airbus has entered into a definitive agreement with the Cobham Ultra group, a portfolio company of Advent, for the acquisition of Ultra Cyber Ltd. This strategic move reinforces Airbus\u2019 position as a trusted, sovereign partner for the UK and a key supplier to its allies, while strengthening its presence in the European cybersecurity landscape. The acquisition allows Airbus to enhance its end-to-end cyber portfolio, complementing the existing UK sovereign capabilities of its cyber business based in Newport, Wales.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With more than 200 employees in Ultra Cyber Ltd, primarily based in its state-of-the-art cyber centre of excellence in Maidenhead, Airbus is reinforcing its commitment to the UK as a core home nation of Airbus and its active role in maintaining the UK’s digital security. This acquisition will join the growing Cyber activities within Airbus Defence and Space\u2019s Connected Intelligence business unit and creates a scale UK sovereign cyber champion.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This investment is a cornerstone of Airbus\u2019 strategy to become a leading European multi-sovereign cyber player and a key pillar of a European digital shield. This approach helps ensure that nations across the continent, as well as Five-Eyes and NATO partners, can rely on access to best-in-class technologies that are trusted and endorsed by the governments of the group\u2019s home nations. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This move follows the successful acquisition of infodas in 2024, which strengthened Airbus\u2019 cybersecurity leadership in Germany and the EU for cross-domain solutions. Today, Airbus operates a truly pan-European cyber activity with employees across the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Finland.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The acquisition also includes a specialised airborne datalinks capability that complements Airbus\u2019 military aircraft portfolio. This addition helps strengthen Airbus\u2019 ability to protect sensitive data seamlessly across both ground and airborne environments.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
