Expedition Technology Ranks No. 489 on the 2018 Inc. 5000
With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 1,040 Percent

NEW YORK, August 15, 2018 – Inc. magazine today revealed that Expedition Technology is No. 489 on its 37th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“The more than tenfold increase in revenue growth over the last three years is the result of the dedicated drive of our employees and an array of incredibly supportive customers. We have worked hard to align our capabilities with some of the highest priority challenges facing our nation, and we anticipate this positioning will allow us to solve larger and more complex problems in the years to come,” says Marc Harlacher, President and CEO of Expedition Technology.

Not only have the companies on the 2018 Inc. 5000 (which are listed online at Inc.com, with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc., available on newsstands August 15) been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. The 2018 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 538.2 percent, and a median rate of 171.8 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $206.1 billion in 2017, accounting for 664,095 jobs over the past three years.

Expedition Technology Wins DARPA Award to Map the IoT Via Machine Learning

/0 Comments/in , , /by

(Dulles, VA) August 2, 2018 – Expedition Technology, Inc., is proud to announce the receipt of a three-year prime contract award worth up to $9.1 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the Radio Frequency Machine Learning System (RFMLS) program.

RFMLS is the first DARPA program to emphasize the application of machine learning to the RF spectrum. Machine learning is demonstrating considerable success when used in related fields including speech recognition and computer vision, but it has not yet been similarly applied to the crowded spectrum of signals that currently exists.

Through this contract, Expedition Technology and its partners will develop the foundations for applying modern data-driven Machine Learning to the RF Spectrum domain as well as develop practical applications in emerging spectrum problems which demand vastly improved discrimination performance over today’s hand-engineered RF systems. Ultimately, these innovations will result in a new generation of RF systems that are goal-driven and can learn from data rather than being hand-engineered by experts.

The four technical components of the program include: feature learning, attention and saliency, autonomous RF sensor configuration and waveform synthesis. A successful RFML system is intended to address the need for enhanced spectrum situational awareness. By discerning subtle differences in signals transmitted by mass-produced devices, RFMLS strives to identify signals intended to spoof or hack into devices in the Internet of Things (IoT). Additionally, RFMLS investigates new paradigms for the rapid evaluation of broad spectrum use to better support cognitive radio applications.

“The RFMLS program is the centerpiece of Expedition Technology’s rapidly growing portfolio of RF machine learning capabilities,” says Marc Harlacher, President and CEO. Harlacher continues, “Success in this endeavor will give our military the ability to discern and characterize signals in the increasingly-crowded RF spectrum, enhancing the ability to understand what is going on in the wireless domain.”

EXP is a prime contractor for DARPA’s RFMLS program, leading a team that includes the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) and Leidos as partnering subcontractors.
