SOFWERX will participate in DGI 2026 in London, 23–25 February 2026, joining the Dragons’ Den on Day 2 at 4:55 PM, centered on startups driving innovation in E/O, SatCom, and AI for GEOINT.

The Private Capital Investor Cohort (PCIC) Assessment Event (AE) is now live! This event is for U.S. Citizens only. SOFWERX, in collaboration with @USSOCOM, will host an Assessment Event to identify private capital organizations with novel technology companies that align with the Special Operations Forces Acquisition Technology and Logistics (SOF AT&L) portfolio. Background/Synopsis USSOCOM requires a private capital cohort to help accelerate capability development across all USSOCOM Program Executive Offices. Private capital organizations must understand markets and technologies aligned with SOF interests and have expertise in academic and accelerator services. Understanding that awardee maturity can happen through commercial revenue, Prime partnerships, Phase III contracts, private investment, and other government opportunities, a solution provider must have expertise on all means to actualize the capability. Objective The objective is to provide a purpose-driven community around accelerating SOF capability to solve operational problems. This program will host in-person and virtual events focused on best practices to deliver new capabilities at speed and scale to the SOF warfighter.

SOFWERX and ICWERX, in collaboration with @USSOCOM's Directorate of Science and Technology (S&T) and the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) Directorate of Science & Technology (DS&T), will host the seventeenth Rapid Capability Assessment event (RCA17) in Chantilly, VA, with the theme “Field-Forward Operations – Future Challenges for SOF and the IC in Data Dense Environments”. This event is U.S. Citizens only. Participants at RCA17 will develop, describe, and assess capabilities for the future needs of SOF and CIA operators and analysts in the 2035 timeframe for global forward, potentially austere, areas. Background/Synopsis A predecessor event, Innovation Foundry 17 (IF17), was the first phase of the Innovation Cycle and was focused on idea generation. RCA17 will build upon this foundation by bringing together experts from industry, academia, and national laboratories to collaborate with Special Operations Forces (SOF) and CIA personnel to decompose the IF17 outputs through facilitated exercises using systems engineering frameworks. Focus Areas Five areas of focus have been identified by the stakeholders for the RCA17 event. Participants will be assigned to teams, each of which will address challenges in one of these focus areas. Participants will also have the opportunity to provide input to other teams who are working in other focus areas: 1. Advanced Analytics: Explores how Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)-like systems and Mixture of Experts models can assist with intelligence analysis, with a focus on ethical and secure deployment. 2. Mapping Building Infrastructure: Investigates conventional and unconventional methods of integration with intelligent building systems such as lighting, fire suppression, and HVAC. 3. Novel Energy Sources: Focuses on efficiently generating, storing, and managing power in low-profile installations, including heat mitigation techniques for confined or off-grid environments. 4. Data Communications/Exfiltration: This focus area has two prongs: one focuses on globally dispersed, low-power edge sensors that can operate independently while triggering more complex systems through tipping and cueing; the second explores secure, high-throughput, and low-signature data transmission in both fixed and mobile environments. 5. Edge Device Optimization: Focuses on maximizing processing efficiency of globally dispersed, low-power edge sensors that can operate independently while triggering more complex systems through alerting, tipping, and ranging.
