The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) is funding research into ocular-motor deception detection, aiming to modernize personnel security clearance processes. The initiative utilizes EyeDetect technology to analyze eye movements and pupil dilation for credibility assessment, progressing from laboratory tests to field evaluations and operational integration.

With a budget of nearly $8 million, the program is part of the broader Trusted Workforce 2.0 initiative, which emphasizes continuous vetting and biometric data integration. The future of this technology hinges on regulatory approval from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
