# RapidFort and SpaceWERX Convene San Antonio Security Conference

On October 8, 2026, RapidFort and SpaceWERX convened government and industry practitioners at the San Pedro 1 Building in San Antonio, Texas, to discuss software supply-chain security, faster mission software delivery, AI and quantum threats, and technical collaboration under their Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). The event highlighted a defense technology collaboration area, but the signal does not announce a solicitation, contract award, funding amount, or open procurement opportunity.

- The CRADA centers on technical collaboration in software supply-chain security; the signal provides no contract number, value, or procurement timetable.
- Defense contractors and software providers working on secure software delivery may find the subject matter relevant to their capabilities, but should not treat the event as an announced acquisition.
- Procurement teams can use the discussion areas—software supply-chain security, mission software delivery, and AI and quantum threats—as context when evaluating related technical needs and industry capabilities.
