About Hidden Level Inc.
Hidden Level Inc., a small-business drone-detection and unmanned-aircraft-system (UAS) monitoring specialist based in Syracuse, New York, operates as a prime contractor on Air Force Research Laboratory awards and holds a seat on the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract, with emerging subcontractor work supporting NASA airspace surveillance programs. The company competes under Total Small Business set-asides on its Air Force prime work and full-and-open on the SHIELD vehicle.
Hidden Level's customer footprint concentrates with defense and aerospace research organizations. The Air Force Research Laboratory drives four awards totaling $3 million in combined potential value, anchored by a $1.6 million subscription-based airspace monitoring service definitive contract (awarded April 2024, completion July 2025) delivering real-time UAS detection, tracking, and identification, and a $1.23 million purchase order for scalable streaming detection services to support the Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management ecosystem (awarded May 2024, completion May 2026). The company also holds a seat on the SHIELD vehicle (ceiling $151 billion, full-and-open, awarded December 2025) with an initial delivery order valued at $500 under the Missile Defense Agency, and subcontracts to NASA Ames Research Center through Analytical Mechanics Associates on airspace monitoring and drone-detection support tasks, including twelve-month airspace traffic data collection, multistatic radar performance analysis, and eVTOL detection coverage for the Advanced Air Mobility and Hollister Airspace Ecosystem programs.
Earlier Air Force work includes a $74.7 thousand STTR Phase I award (May 2023) for fusing commercially available open-source intelligence with UAS detection data, and a $75 thousand SBIR Phase I award (November 2022) for drone detection at scale. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $3 million, with $3.7 million obligated against that ceiling.
Activity has accelerated year over year — one award in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026. Across the Service Contract Inventory dataset, Hidden Level shows minimal SCI-reportable federal services activity: roughly 5.5 FTEs reported across sub-award SCI records in FY2024, up from 0.6 FTEs in FY2022, reflecting the company's emergence as a subcontractor on larger primes. The vendor operates predominantly as a prime (75% of awards) and handles subcontract delivery primarily through Analytical Mechanics Associates on NASA programs. Hidden Level's capability portfolio centers on real-time airspace surveillance, drone and UAS detection and tracking at operational scale, multisensor data fusion, and airspace monitoring services across defense, civil-space, and advanced air-mobility use cases. NAICS classification is concentrated in Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (8 awards), with supporting classification in defense R&D services.
