HERNDON, VA, May 12, 2026 – Expedition Technology (EXP), an industry leader in applying advanced machine learning and computer vision to national security challenges, is proud to announce its selection as a performer for the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) Video Linking and Intelligence from Non-Collaborative Sensors (Video LINCS) program.
The Video LINCS program addresses a pressing need in modern intelligence gathering: processing the sheer volume of video data from disparate, non-communicating sensors. While cameras are ubiquitous — from security systems to aerial drones — they rarely talk to one another. This leaves analysts with the monumental task of tracking diverse objects across multiple feeds to understand movement patterns or identify threats.
“Re-identifying objects across non-collaborative sensors in uncalibrated scenes is exactly the kind of hard problem Expedition is primed to tackle,” said Greg Harrison, CTO of Expedition Technology. “We’re developing algorithms that move well beyond detection and tracking — building toward systems that generate autonomous situational awareness without requiring a controlled sensor environment.”
Under this contract, EXP will work closely with its two academic partners, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Tennessee Knoxville, on developing autonomous re-identification algorithms. EXP’s approach will enable systems to associate objects across diverse sensor collections without prior knowledge of the scene or camera geometries. By distilling raw pixel data into precise spatio-temporal motion vectors, EXP’s technology will allow analysts to identify patterns and anomalies with greater speed and confidence in complex, open-world settings.
“Video LINCS targets an interesting technical challenge in modern intelligence work — distilling volumes of raw video into actionable understanding,” said Marc Harlacher, President of Expedition Technology. “We’re bringing our deepest capabilities in computer vision and machine learning to a problem that directly affects how analysts operate under pressure.”
EXP and its university partners are already underway on the program, with results expected to advance the state-of-the-art in autonomous multi-sensor video analysis for the intelligence community.
