About the company
Hiddenlayer Inc., a for-profit software and AI security company headquartered in Leander, Texas, delivers machine learning security and adversarial machine learning detection capabilities to the Department of the Air Force and the Missile Defense Agency as a prime contractor exclusively under full-and-open and total small business set-aside designations. The vendor operates solely as a prime; no subcontract work appears in the federal footprint.
Hiddenlayer's concrete capability portfolio centers on machine learning attack detection, red-team workbenches for autonomous systems, and ground-based communication system hardening. Recent award examples include a $1.8 million Small Business Technology Transfer Phase II contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) for a Machine Learning Security Attack Workbench supporting autonomous asset red teaming, a $1.25 million SBIR Phase II award from AFRL for Machine Learning Detection and Response capabilities defending against adversarial machine learning attacks on defense infrastructure, and a $74,766 STTR Phase I award from AFRL for application of Hiddenlayer's MLSEC platform to ground-based communication system hardening. All three research contracts are conducting primary work at Hiddenlayer's Leander, Texas facility.
Customer concentration is narrow. The Air Force Research Laboratory accounts for three awards totaling $3.1 million across the entire visible footprint; the Missile Defense Agency holds two awards worth $500 combined. The vendor's most strategically significant asset is a newly awarded $151 billion IDIQ contract from the Missile Defense Agency under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) vehicle — a ten-year, full-and-open multiple-award contract running through December 2035 and designed to procure integrated multi-domain defense capabilities including AI-driven threat detection and cybersecurity capabilities. An initial delivery order valued at $500 was issued on December 29, 2025. Performance on the SHIELD IDIQ occurs in Huntsville, Alabama.
Activity remains early-stage: two awards in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and does not participate in civilian-agency GWACs or GSA Schedules — all awards to date are DOD research and development or production-phase defense work.
