Ukrainian Himera Becomes Primary Communication System for Units During Exercises in the US

Ukrainian company Himera successfully tested tactical radios and relays in the US, proving combat-proven systems effective for NATO operations and enabling further product development.

The Ukrainian company Himera successfully tested its tactical communication system during a two-week field exercise in the United States. The company told Oboronka about this.

The trials took place at the ADK Battlelab and the National Security Research Center in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force and Unconventional Concepts as part of the Future Flag series of exercises. During the Operation Fuzzy Bunny experiment, Himera’s communication system was tested in an operational environment close to NATO standards.

According to the company, the system was used as the primary tool for unit coordination and was applied to daily operations and mission tasks after minimal briefing.

Himera notes that the portable radios and autonomous relays received positive feedback for their compact size, light weight, and energy efficiency.

Based on the test results, solutions developed from combat experience in Ukraine proved suitable for NATO countries’ operational scenarios and provided data for further product development and expanded integration with other systems.

“This testing confirmed that solutions created in real combat conditions remain effective in an allied environment as well. Rapid deployment and reliable performance — that is what truly matters in the field,” said Himera co-founder and CEO Misha Rudominskyy.

Earlier, Himera reported fulfilling a government contract for the Ministry of Defense of a NATO member country in Europe, which has not disclosed its name. Following this contract, the country is considering further integration of Himera’s communication systems across a broader range of its units.

Himera Radios previously tested its radios and relays in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, with successful results.

Himera’s communication systems were also tested by a unit of the Ukrainian Ground Forces. During that trial, Himera G1 PRO radios and B1 relays were used. The tests took place at the base of the 151st Separate Reconnaissance and Strike Battalion.
