Quantum-strengthened, encrypted tactical communication systems successfully provided by Quantropi and HIMERA
In a significant move to safeguard global digital communication systems, Quantropi, a leading cybersecurity firm, has partnered with HIMERA, a renowned Ukrainian tactical communications company. The collaboration aims to provide governments and defence organisations worldwide with advanced, quantum-secure communication solutions.
Quantropi's mission is to safeguard digital communication systems, including secure military communications. As part of this mission, the company will be the exclusive distributor of HIMERA products in the United States and Canada, and will have the right to promote in select NATO and allied markets.
The partnership between Quantropi and HIMERA focuses on creating future-proof solutions that can withstand emerging quantum threats. Their collaboration results in the development of quantum-secure tactical communications specifically aimed at NATO and allied markets.
One of the key points of this partnership and its technology is the successful demonstration of a quantum-safe transatlantic communication line. This line is designed to secure data and communications against quantum-AI hybrid threats, a new class of cyber risks combining quantum computing power and advanced AI techniques.
The technology is part of NATO DIANA's real-world testbed and collaboration, indicating endorsement and practical testing within NATO's innovation framework for defence communications.
The partnership aims to integrate quantum security solutions into HIMERA's G1 PRO tactical handsets, extenders, and repeaters. When combined with Quantropi's QiSpace technology, the HIMERA G1 PRO is expected to raise the bar for electronic warfare protection, ensuring the security and effectiveness of battlefield communications.
The HIMERA G1 PRO radios, renowned for their success on the frontlines in Ukraine, use proprietary "low probability of intercept, low probability of detect" and frequency hopping technology. The HIMERA Tactical Communication System, enhanced with Quantropi's QiSpace platform, will feature cutting-edge, quantum-secure encryption technology.
Misha Rudominski, co-founder at HIMERA, stated that the HIMERA G1 PRO can fill a critical gap for NATO members by providing an EW-resistant, quantum-secure squad radio at a competitive price point. The HIMERA G1 PRO and Quantropi's QiSpace technology together offer a future-proof solution against emerging quantum threats, providing governments and defence organisations with a solution that is resistant to electronic warfare.
Overall, the partnership between Quantropi and HIMERA provides mission-critical quantum-secure communication systems that are designed to safeguard NATO and allied forces' information against the next generation of cyber threats enabled by powerful quantum computers, ensuring secure, resilient, and future-proof tactical communication.
In the ongoing pursuit to safeguard digital communication systems, Quantropi's cooperation with HIMERA intends to venture into the realm of sports technology, aiming to develop quantum-secure communication solutions for professional sports teams, ensuring secure data and communications during high-stakes competitions that could be susceptible to cyber threats.
Moreover, the inclement weather conditions experienced during military operations could potentially disrupt satellite communications, leading to a compromise in the security and effectiveness of battlefield communications. In response, Quantropi and HIMERA's advanced quantum-secure communication solutions could extend their application beyond defence to integrate with technology that enables weather-resilient connectivity, thus ensuring seamless communication under various weather conditions.
