About this award

Lockheed Martin Corporation's Advanced Technology Laboratories Division was awarded a $14.6 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on July 22, 2021, for the Influence Campaign Awareness and Sensemaking (INCAS) program. The contract, which extends through July 15, 2025, requires the development of techniques and tools enabling analysts to detect, characterize, and track geopolitical influence campaigns with quantified confidence. The work will be performed in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and involves developing automated influence detection capabilities, population segmentation analysis, and influence campaign modeling to support continual analysis of online media content and narratives for identifying adversary influence operations within complex information environments. No small business set-aside designation was applied to this contract.

The INCAS program represents a multi-contractor effort across five technical areas, with DARPA supporting multiple awards for influence indicator detection and population response characterization, and single awards for influence campaign modeling and related functions. Lockheed Martin's subcontract team includes specialized research and technology partners such as the Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition, Bigbear.ai Federal, Leidos, Princeton University, the University of Southern California, RTX BBN Technologies, Protagonist Technology, and several specialized analytics firms including Parenthetic, Valkyrie Intelligence, and Uncharted Software. This diverse subcontractor base reflects the program's need for expertise spanning cognitive modeling, artificial intelligence, data analytics, graph theory, and influence operations analysis to deliver comprehensive capabilities for detecting and characterizing sophisticated geopolitical influence campaigns.
