Tempest Droneworx™, a Houston-based real-time intelligence technology company, has been selected to present at Venture Atlanta 2026, one of the nation’s leading venture capital conferences. The event, scheduled for October 14-15 at the Woodruff Arts Center and Atlanta Symphony Hall, brings together the Southeast’s fastest-growing technology companies with top-tier investors, corporate innovation leaders, and potential strategic partners from across the country. The selection follows a highly competitive application process and positions Tempest Droneworx among the region’s most promising tech ventures.
The company’s flagship Harbinger™ platform aggregates, controls, analyzes, and disseminates data from a wide array of sources, including unmanned systems, security cameras, LiDAR, thermal and RGB sensors, RADAR, and satellite data. This information is fused into a real-time 3D common operating picture, providing users with comprehensive situational awareness. Tempest Droneworx™ technology is platform-, sensor-, communications-, AI/ML-, and presentation-agnostic, allowing customers to integrate existing and future systems without being locked into a single hardware or software ecosystem.
Tempest Droneworx™ has already demonstrated its capabilities through programs with the Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. Air Force, including simultaneous control of heterogeneous unmanned aircraft and the development of airspace deconfliction and real-time 3D common operating picture capabilities. The company is also bringing Corvus MRDR™ (Modular Robotics Development & Reporting) to market, an engineering platform that enables researchers and developers to build and test robotics, autonomy, cooperative control, and multi-vehicle technologies using combinations of virtual and physical systems in the same environment. Corvus MRDR™ allows teams to move incrementally from simulation to real hardware without rebuilding the test environment around their code, while capturing telemetry for analysis and playback.
The implications of this announcement extend beyond a single company’s recognition. Venture Atlanta has helped launch more than 1,000 companies, facilitating over $8.8 billion in capital raised and $22 billion in successful exits. By presenting at this event, Tempest Droneworx™ gains access to a network of investors and strategic partners that could accelerate the deployment of its technology across defense, government, public safety, research, agriculture, infrastructure, and commercial markets. As an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, the company is positioned to address critical needs in national security and beyond.
The event is a collaboration of the Atlanta CEO Council, Metro Atlanta Chamber, and the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG). For more information, visit www.ventureatlanta.org.
