Hidden Level also has plans to hire about 15 people in the next year, “effectively doubling” the company’s employee count.
Besides the new headquarters and hiring plans, the firm says it has also closed on a $17.6 million in Series A investment and had involvement in recent test flight activities with NASA Ames Laboratory.
The new investment will enable Hidden Level to advance development and deployment of its sensor technology and services.

Mountain View, California–based NASA Ames Research Center has been working with Hidden Level on drone traffic management and advanced aerial mobility applications of the airspace monitoring service (AMS) data feed.
In May, Hidden Level conducted tests of its AMS for NASA Ames using Onondaga Lake and surrounding areas as a surrogate for Mountain View. Testing consisted of numerous UAS flights over Onondaga Lake while Hidden Level’s network of sensors monitored and reported the location of each drone.
A UAS includes a drone and equipment used to control its flight. A drone is also referred to in the industry as an unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV.
“This new facility will allow us to continue to innovate and develop new cutting-edge sensor technology and services that will help our customers improve airspace safety,” said Jeff Cole, CEO at Hidden Level. “Central New York is our home, and we are proud to be bringing jobs and innovation to this community.”
