Kyiv-based HIMERA has raised more than $2.5 million to push its secure communications tech further. The company is currently in combat use and testing with Ukrainian units.
Leading the rounder were Green Flag Ventures, with participation from Nezlamni Fund, UA1 VC, Varangians, Freedom Fund VC, and others.
Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation, wrote about the raise on LinkedIn.
“Secure communications are the backbone of command and control on the battlefield,” he wrote. “HIMERA has progressed from engineering solutions and combat testing to a phase of confident scaling. The new funding enables the team to grow even faster and deliver solutions already in use by Ukrainian units.”
The company, founded in 2022, focuses on secure communications for defence and first responders. The devices have high durability, encrypted comms, and long battery life. The devices also use MESH networks to connect without using an entire frequency and to ensure consistent uptime. They are field upgradable and support multiple configuration and transmission systems.
HIMERA is already executing contracts in Europe and the United States, and is pushing into more markets where low probability of interception matters. The funding will go to company growth and research into new technologies for battlefield communications.
