Partnership brings jamming-resistant communications into Swarmer’s next-gen autonomy stack
KYIV, Ukraine, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Swarmer, Inc (“Swarmer” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SWMR), a drone autonomy software company which has supported more than 100,000 real-world combat missions in Ukraine since April 2024, today announced its subsidiary, Swarmer Estonia OÜ, has entered into a memorandum of understanding with HIMERA to establish a strategic partnership focused on integrating resilient communications into Swarmer’s next-generation autonomy stack.
HIMERA is a Ukraine-based provider of jam-resistant, frequency-hopping radios engineered for connectivity under severe jamming conditions. HIMERA’s radios have been trusted by units requiring high-assurance communications in contested environments. That operational experience now becomes a foundational element of Swarmer’s autonomy stack, giving system vendors a pre-validated communications backbone designed for multi-vehicle missions where reliability directly affects operational outcomes.
Together, the two companies are combining battlefield-proven communications expertise with advanced autonomy software to deliver a new class of integrated solutions for unmanned operations at scale. The agreement reflects a shared approach: building systems that are designed from the ground up in contested, real-world battlefields rather than sterile laboratory conditions. By uniting autonomy software and resilient communications into a single, integrated offering, the partnership lowers the barrier for vendors to deploy reliable multi-vehicle systems while accelerating the adoption of resilient autonomy across all domains.
“Resilient communications is the cornerstone of multi-vehicle autonomy,” said Serhii Kupriienko, Global CEO of Swarmer. “We want to provide software that can coordinate large numbers of unmanned systems, across all domains, in the most challenging conditions. Integrating HIMERA’s proven radios strengthens that vision and accelerates our ability to deliver this kind of interoperable, highly reliable autonomy to our allies around the world.”
“Swarmer and HIMERA are aligned in one core belief: technology must be resilient, flexible and built around the real conditions operators face every day,” said Misha Rudominski, Co-Founder & CEO of HIMERA. “Combining our resilient communication system with Swarmer’s drone autonomy stack gives vendors an integrated, field-ready solution that increases reliability and removes unnecessary integration overhead. This partnership is born from real operational needs — the ones we encounter every day on the ground.”
This collaboration positions Swarmer and HIMERA not just as technology suppliers, but as co-creators of next-generation operational infrastructure for unmanned systems. The companies will jointly engage vendors and integrators across aerial, ground and maritime systems, offering the integrated communications–autonomy solution as a ready-to-deploy option.
