Hidden Level has announced the limited release of Power in the Sky, a next-generation detection capability designed to enhance how operators identify and respond to both recognized and previously unseen airborne threats.
Traditional RF detection systems typically identify signals by matching them against libraries of known threats. However, as adversaries deploy increasingly advanced unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and frequently modify existing platforms, the number of unknown threats continues to grow. Hidden Level’s Power in the Sky monitors the RF environment continuously, identifies novel threats, and converts them into actionable kinematic tracks.
“The threat landscape has fundamentally changed,” said Brad Garber, COO of Hidden Level. “Adversaries are deploying systems specifically designed to evade library-based detection. Power in the Sky was built for this reality, giving operators the ability to detect and respond to unknown threats before they gain the tactical advantage.”
The capability is integrated directly into Hidden Level’s Airspace Monitoring Service and does not require additional hardware. It can integrate with optical systems and command-and-control platforms while supporting operations across air, ground, and maritime environments.
“Power in the Sky highlights the flexibility of Hidden Level’s mission-defined hardware,” said Kevin May, VP of Product and Programs. “To deploy this capability, there’s no rip-and-replace and no new infrastructure. Our systems are built to evolve and deliver substantial new capability through software, extending performance while protecting customer investment.”
According to the company, Power in the Sky is designed to comply with applicable spectrum, privacy, and cybersecurity regulations and can be deployed in fixed, mobile, and expeditionary operational environments.
