One company to have sprung up since the conflict began is Himera, which makes electronic warfare-resistant walkie-talkies.
Its products include the G1 Pro — a tactical handheld radio — and the B1 repeater, which extends communication ranges.
Despite only having launched in 2022, the company has quickly caught the attention of the defense tech industry, as well as the US military.
The product’s major selling point is that it offers a potential solution to one of the defining challenges of the war in Ukraine — electronic warfare.

The G1 is EW-resistant, using frequency-hopping technology to help evade electronic warfare interference, which seeks to disrupt and jam certain signals like GPS, radio, and video.
Reticulate Micro, which supplies Himera’s radios in the US, announced the first US delivery of G1 Pro radios to the US Air Force in October 2024.
The company said the Air Force would test the G1 Pro alongside Reticulate’s Video Assured Secure Transmission (VAST) technology, which delivers real-time video streaming.
“We take the best from both worlds,” he said. “We provide all the tactical relevant functionality like low probability of detection, low probability of interception, and low probability of jamming, which you don’t find in commercial spec solutions.”
Cool. When do I get to buy one? Here is the web site. It’s not clear whether this would be import-controlled.
