Sparton and Logos Technologies become Twenty-Six Defense Maritime

Sparton DeLeon Springs and Logos Technologies are now operating as Twenty-Six Defense Maritime, the latest step in a broader brand shift tied to Twenty-Six Defense. The change keeps the company focused on sonobuoys, maritime sensors and other U.S.-built defense technologies used by the military.

Why it matters: - The name change signals a broader push to present the company as a unified U.S. defense platform focused on maritime sensing and undersea warfare. - Twenty-Six Defense Maritime will continue to support national security with domestically designed, engineered and manufactured technologies. - The brand shift comes as the company leans on a 125-year legacy in maritime innovation.

What happened: - Sparton DeLeon Springs, LLC and Logos Technologies are now operating as Twenty-Six Defense Maritime. - The change was announced Sept. 9, 2026, in DeLeon Springs, Florida. - The rebrand coincides with the launch of Twenty-Six Defense, formerly Elbit Systems of America. - Donnelly Bohan will continue to serve as CEO of Twenty-Six Defense Maritime.

The details: - Twenty-Six Defense Maritime remains a leader in high-performance sonobuoys, undersea electronics and advanced imagery solutions from Logos Technologies. - The company’s portfolio includes complex electromechanical systems, sensors and advanced analytics capabilities. - Sparton was founded in 1900 as The Withington Company. - The company says its heritage includes America’s first all-electric radio in the 1920s and a role as a cornerstone of U.S. antisubmarine warfare technology in the 1950s. - The Sparton name will continue as a product brand across the sonobuoy portfolio. - Sparton was acquired in 2021 by Elbit Systems of America, now Twenty-Six Defense. - Twenty-Six Defense is a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., which is traded on NASDAQ. - Twenty-Six Defense is an American defense company with 3,300 employees across eight states. - Twenty-Six Defense is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. - The company has facilities throughout the U.S. and supports defense, homeland security and commercial aviation customers. - Elbit Systems Ltd. employs about 21,000 people in dozens of countries across five continents.

Between the lines: - The rebrand appears aimed at simplifying the company’s public identity while tying maritime products more closely to the larger Twenty-Six Defense umbrella. - Keeping the Sparton name on sonobuoys suggests the company wants to preserve brand equity in a product category with long-standing defense recognition. - The emphasis on U.S.-built production reflects a market where domestic supply chains and security credentials matter.

What's next: - Twenty-Six Defense Maritime will keep developing and producing maritime sensors, sonobuoys and imaging systems for defense customers. - The company will continue to market its product line under the Sparton brand where it applies. - More information is available through the company’s maritime website and Twenty-Six Defense.

The bottom line: - The rebrand is less a pivot than a consolidation: one maritime identity, one defense parent and a continued focus on U.S. naval technology.
