New York firm Hidden Level is giving operators a new way to see what was previously invisible with Power in the Sky, a next-gen radio frequency (RF) detection tool that spots unknown airborne signals.
The tool continuously scans the RF environment, identifies unfamiliar signals, and converts them into actionable kinematic tracks.
Built directly into Hidden Level’s Airspace Monitoring Service, the system required no additional hardware, enabling faster adoption across existing monitoring networks.
It integrates with optical sensors and command-and-control systems and works across air, ground, and maritime domains, giving operators broader situational awareness.
Designed for fixed, mobile, and expeditionary use, Power in the Sky reportedly meets spectrum, privacy, and cybersecurity requirements.
“Power in the Sky highlights the flexibility of Hidden Level’s mission-defined hardware,” said Kevin May, vice president of product and programs at Hidden Level.
“Our systems are built to evolve and deliver substantial new capability through software, extending performance while protecting customer investment.”
Outpacing Evolving Threats
Most RF detection tools rely on libraries of known signals, leaving operators blind to unfamiliar or evolving threats.
Adversaries are fielding increasingly capable unmanned aerial systems and updating existing platforms faster than traditional detection can keep up.
Power in the Sky is reportedly built to address this gap by detecting and tracking signals that conventional systems miss.
“Adversaries are deploying systems specifically designed to evade library-based detection,” said Brad Garber, chief operating officer of Hidden Level.
“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.”
