HIMERA’s radios\nhave been trusted by units requiring high-assurance communications in\ncontested environments. That operational experience now becomes a foundational\nelement of Swarmer’s autonomy stack, giving system vendors a pre-validated\ncommunications backbone designed for multi-vehicle missions where reliability\ndirectly affects operational outcomes.\n\nTogether, the two companies are combining battlefield-proven communications\nexpertise with advanced autonomy software to deliver a new class of integrated\nsolutions for unmanned operations at scale. The agreement reflects a shared\napproach: building systems that are designed from the ground up in contested,\nreal-world battlefields rather than sterile laboratory conditions. By uniting\nautonomy software and resilient communications into a single, integrated\noffering, the partnership lowers the barrier for vendors to deploy reliable\nmulti-vehicle systems while accelerating the adoption of resilient autonomy\nacross all domains.\n\n“Resilient communications is the cornerstone of multi-vehicle autonomy,”\nsaid Serhii Kupriienko, Global CEO of Swarmer. “We want to provide software\nthat can coordinate large numbers of unmanned systems, across all domains, in\nthe most challenging conditions. Integrating HIMERA’s proven radios\nstrengthens that vision and accelerates our ability to deliver this kind of\ninteroperable, highly reliable autonomy to our allies around the world.”\n\n“Swarmer and HIMERA are aligned in one core belief: technology must be\nresilient, flexible and built around the real conditions operators face every\nday,” said Misha Rudominski, Co-Founder & CEO of HIMERA. “Combining our\nresilient communication system with Swarmer’s drone autonomy stack gives\nvendors an integrated, field-ready solution that increases reliability and\nremoves unnecessary integration overhead. This partnership is born from real\noperational needs — the ones we encounter every day on the ground.”\n\nThis collaboration positions Swarmer and HIMERA not just as technology\nsuppliers, but as co-creators of next-generation operational infrastructure\nfor unmanned systems. The companies will jointly engage vendors and\nintegrators across aerial, ground and maritime systems, offering the\nintegrated communications–autonomy solution as a ready-to-deploy option.\n\nAbout Swarmer\nSwarmer™ is a defense technology company that specializes in vendor-agnostic\ntechnologies that address critical operational challenges faced by modern\nmilitary forces. Swarmer’s primary mission areas include autonomous swarm\ncoordination, multi-domain unmanned systems integration, AI-powered\ncollaborative autonomy, and command and control software for distributed\noperations. The company’s primary customer base consists of drone\nmanufacturers who license Swarmer’s software for integration with their\nhardware platforms. Swarmer’s technology has been rigorously validated in\nreal-world kinetic environments and was first deployed in combat operations in\nUkraine in April 2024. Since then, it has completed more than 100,000 combat\nmissions, generating terabytes of proprietary data that informs its\nmachine-learning models and enables the replication of advanced pilot\nperformance at scale. With headquarters in Austin, Texas, Swarmer has offices\nin the U.S, Ukraine, Poland and Estonia.\n\nAbout HIMERA\nHIMERA is a Ukrainian developer and manufacturer of resilient communication\nsystems for the Defense Forces. HIMERA solutions are battlefield-ready and are\nused in the hottest defensive and offensive operations in Ukraine. HIMERA is a\nmultidisciplinary team of experts who are constantly improving the product\nline to meet the requirements of modern warfare. HIMERA products are already\npresent in all types of units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces and have been\nvalidated by the US Special Operations Forces and various Defense Forces\nacross NATO.\n\nForward-Looking Statements\n\nThis press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of\nSection 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the\nSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
