# Influence Campaign Awareness and Sensemaking
INCAS is a DARPA research program for detecting, characterizing, and tracking geopolitical influence campaigns using publicly available multilingual and multi-platform information with quantified confidence.
## Function
Within [[Information-Environment Radar]], INCAS supplies campaign discovery and sensemaking. The article emphasizes the program’s stated focus on understanding rather than countering influence activity, its non-U.S.-population scope, and its unclassified research posture.
## Integration boundary
The article links INCAS conceptually with [[DARPA SemaFor]], [[DARPA SocialSim]], and [[Modeling Influence Pathways]]. Confirmed component programs do not by themselves prove a single operational pipeline or deployment.
