Hidden Level’s full product portfolio has met the US Army's requirements for Operation JAILBREAK FALCON FURY – an initiative designed to accelerate interoperability for the Army and the private sector. Working with Army and industry partners, we validated our existing integration capabilities without writing a single line of new code. That result reflects decisions that we at Hidden Level have been deliberate about since the start: interoperability, security and open integration should be foundational to our technology. We understood then, as we do now, that creating a safer world requires partners and systems to work together. For defense partners, that means new capabilities can integrate into existing technology ecosystems without lengthy, bespoke development. For Hidden Level, it demonstrates something broader: our technology isn’t built to perform in a vacuum. It’s built to become part of a larger ecosystem from day one.

After years of working together behind the scenes, we’re proud to make it official: Hidden Level is part of the IQT portfolio. For more than 25 years, IQT has helped the U.S. national security community and America’s allies anticipate what’s next—identifying and accelerating emerging commercial technologies that can deliver critical capabilities for government partners. We’re proud to stand alongside companies pushing the boundaries of what’s possible—and to keep quietly building technology for the challenges ahead. #NationalSecurity #RFIntelligence #DefenseTech #QuietlyBuilding

What a transformative year for the American drone industry. The energy, quality of discussion, and breadth of participation at last week’s Commercial Drone Alliance Leadership Summit highlighted how serious and urgent this moment is. It was great to join leaders from across government and industry to discuss where we go from here. Innovation and security are two sides of the same coin. We need both if we’re going to build an industry that earns trust and delivers on its promise. Congrats to my friend Lisa Ellman. You’re the best in the business and continue to bring together the right people to tackle the hard problems. At Hidden Level, we’re proud to support customers across United States Department of War, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Department of Transportation and DC Metropolitan Police Department as we work to keep America’s drone ecosystem innovative, secure, and globally competitive.

We are proud to share that Hidden Level has been awarded a $100M Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement from the United States Department of War. This award enables Hidden Level to rapidly deliver its passive radar, RF detection, and distributed sensing technology to support counter-UAS (C-UAS) missions across the Department — detecting, tracking, and identifying drone threats, including RF-silent drones that traditional systems miss. As part of this effort, Hidden Level will deploy its multi-function RF sensors across military installations, test ranges, and the U.S. border. "This award is an important step to delivering our critically needed technology to see without being seen," said Jeffrey Cole, Founder and CEO of Hidden Level. "It represents years of performance in operational environments and the Department's commitment to deploy C-UAS solutions for the warfighter."

Yesterday, Hidden Level joined Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering on Capitol Hill for the APFIT Showcase. The APFIT program is proof that government investment and industry innovation can compress deployment timelines without compressing rigor — and we're grateful to be part of that success story. Hidden Level's passive RF sensing technology is already providing persistent airspace awareness across multiple Combatant Commands — hard evidence of successful scaling and execution. Thanks to the APFIT team, Chairman Congressman Ken Calvert, and Ranking Member McCollum for making yesteday happen. #APFIT #DefenseInnovation #NationalSecurity #CounterUAS

It was great to join the 2026 Pennsylvania Defense and Innovation Summit, convened by Senator Dave McCormick this week in Carlisle, PA. Building the Arsenal of Freedom requires the kind of defense industrial base Pennsylvania delivers: a deep and growing workforce, manufacturing capacity, and cutting-edge innovation. Hidden Level is part of that story. The message to industry at the Summit was clear: deliver quality weapons on time and at lower cost. As an airspace awareness and counter-drone company, our team is dedicated to delivering real capability with the urgency this moment demands. Grateful to Senator McCormick and his team for their vision, and to the leaders across the U.S. Government who gave their time to this event. “Quietly Building” 🇺🇸

For years, we've been quietly building. The United States Department of War's APFIT program helped accelerate Hidden Level's passive RF sensing technology from development to operational capability. Next week, we'll join Department of War leadership, Congress, and acquisition professionals on Capitol Hill for the APFIT Showcase. As conversations focus on accelerating defense innovation, Hidden Level's technology is already demonstrating what successful transition looks like in practice—providing persistent airspace awareness across the National Capital Region, just miles from where those conversations are taking place. We're looking forward to discussing how government investment, industry innovation, and rapid fielding can deliver mission-ready capability when it's matters most. If you're attending, we'd welcome the opportunity to connect. #APFIT #DefenseInnovation #NationalSecurity #Acquisition #CounterUAS
