Hidden Level Inc. has been selected by the US Department of Defense (DOD) to receive USD10 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 defence company, Hidden Level is one of only 11 companies awarded funding by the DoD in 2023.
The APFIT pilot program will transition technologies from development into production and accelerate the fielding of those technologies to the warfighter, said the company in a press release. Hidden Level’s 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,” according to the company.
