Upgrade to Himera's Battle-tested Squad
Radio Features Higher Bandwidth, Frequency Hopping Advances and
Improved Battery Life
PALM
BAY, Fla., July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Reticulate
Micro, Inc. announced today that the Himera G1 Pro
small-form-factor tactical radio is now available to the US
military market and selective global government customers.
Reticulate is the official US reseller for Ukrainian radio
manufacturer Himera.
The Himera G1 Pro employs Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
(FHSS) technology resistant to Electronic Warfare (EW) and proven
in the battlefield by members of the Ukrainian special operations
forces.
Built with users in mind, the G1 Pro features a higher power
output, higher bandwidth radio with both a Low Probability of
Intercept (LPI) and Low Probability of Detection (LPD).
"Himera's disruptive commercial radio technology is focused on
enabling assured communications in the most challenging
environments, to every echelon on the battlefield," said
Joshua Cryer, president and CEO of
Reticulate Micro. "We are excited to bring this cutting-edge radio
to the world's most advanced and largest military."
The G1 Pro weighs 300 grams, compared with typical tactical
handheld and manpack radios in the US market that are on average
five times heavier at 1.3 kilograms. Weight is only one
discriminator. It has an order-of-magnitude improvement in power
compared to Himera's first-generation radio, featuring a
long-lasting battery that averages 48 hours of continuous
operation.
Himera took frontline input from users to add new features, such
as a more powerful speaker, which allows soldiers to better
communicate by voice in loud operational environments such as near
helicopters. Unlike typical US defense radios, which tend to be
bulky and require multiple battery packs during a mission, the G1
Pro is lightweight and with battery life that will support the
communication through the whole operation.
"The G1 Pro is the best user experience tactical handheld radio
currently in the world – while being more affordable and more
scalable than other solutions on the market. It's a big
validation for us as a company to be selling our radios to the most
well-funded military in the world," said Misha Rudominski,
co-founder at Himera.
Himera made improvements based on fielded knowledge of the radio
from having more than 4,000 active users in the Ukrainian defense
forces. "Most existing solutions are built around procurement
requirements versus what is best for users. We built it the other
way around – offering a product that is primarily made for actual
personnel at the frontline," Rudominksi added.
Military experts at Reticulate Micro anticipate strong pent-up
demand for the G1 Pro, with Reticulate fielding Himera's
first-generation radios in exercises last month with the 112th
Special Operations Signal Battalion at Ft. Liberty in North Carolina. The US Army installation
serves as the home of the Airborne and Special Operations
Forces.
"The US military has asked for a low-cost squad radio network
for a while. Given that at least one in five US soldiers lack a
tactical radio, it's a need that's gone unaddressed, with no path
to address it because of cost," said Louis
Sutherland, Reticulate Micro's senior director, Business
Development and Tactical market lead. "The G1 Pro makes it more
practical for people who didn't have a low-cost radio to now have
one."
Himera reports positive feedback from early field testing of the
radio in the Ukraine. "The Himera
G1 Pro radio is a solution that provides reliable and high-quality
communication in the face of aggressive enemy radio warfare. The
infantry received low visibility on the air and a secure
communication channel with the simplicity and affordability of this
solution," stated Matahari, the call sign for the communications
platoon commander of the Da Vinci Wolves' battalion of the 67th
Mechanized Brigade in the Ukraine Armed Forces. "We've been waiting
for these radios, interacting with the Himera team, and finally we
can test them in combat conditions. Modern technical solutions give
our soldiers an advantage on the battlefield, and we are
satisfied."
The G1 Pro is available now to US military customers with a
government baseline price set to ensure best value. Volume
government discounts are also available.
