Hidden Level Receives APFIT Funding From the Department of Defense

With its drone sensing and tracking technology, Hidden Level will play a key role in the Accelerate the Procurement and Fielding of Innovating Technologies (APFIT) program to assist innovative technologies passing over the Valley of Death.

Hidden Level Inc. has been selected by the Department of Defense (DOD) to receive $10 million in funding for the pilot program, Accelerate the Procurement and Fielding of Innovating Technologies (APFIT). As a pre-Series B sensor technology and drone defense company, Hidden Level is one of only 11 companies awarded funding by the DoD in 2023.  

"Being selected for APFIT funding is a huge vote of confidence by the DOD in our technology," Jeff Cole, CEO of Hidden Level, said. "We have always been confident in our capabilities, but this win is recognition that our technology can rapidly fill a significant gap in warfighting needs."  

The APFIT pilot program will transition technologies from development into production and accelerate the fielding of those technologies to the warfighter. Hidden Level's game-changing technology will provide Tactical Passive Radar for Counter Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) for the U.S. Army. 

APFIT funding will help deliver war-winning capability a year or two earlier than scheduled while contributing to the health of the U.S. industrial base through investments in small businesses or nontraditional defense-developed capabilities.  

Given $150 million by Congress in 2023, The National Defense Authorization Act of FY22 was created as a merit-based, competitive program for innovative and mature technologies and products to meet warfighter demands that lack the necessary funding to field.  

It is a credit to Hidden Level's ground-breaking sensing technology that it is one of the few companies chosen for this program. For more information on Hidden Level's technological solutions, please visit https://hiddenlevel.com/
