Tempest Droneworx™, a Houston-based real-time intelligence technology company, has been selected to present at Venture Atlanta 2026, the Southeast’s premier technology innovation event and one of the nation’s leading venture capital conferences. The event will take place October 14-15 at the Woodruff Arts Center and Atlanta Symphony Hall, bringing together the region’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, positioning Tempest Droneworx among the most promising tech companies in the Southeast. This recognition is significant because it provides the company with a platform to engage with investors who can help accelerate the commercialization of its Harbinger™ platform and Corvus MRDR™, technologies that have already been demonstrated through programs with the Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. Air Force.
Tempest Droneworx’s Harbinger™ platform aggregates, controls, analyzes, and disseminates information from unmanned systems, security cameras, LiDAR, thermal and RGB sensors, RADAR, satellite data, and other sources into a real-time 3D common operating picture. The 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. This flexibility is crucial for defense, government, public safety, research, agriculture, infrastructure, and commercial markets that often operate with diverse and legacy systems.
The company’s demonstrated capabilities include simultaneous control of heterogeneous unmanned aircraft and the development of airspace deconfliction and real-time 3D common operating picture capabilities. These advancements address critical needs in increasingly congested airspace and complex operational environments. By providing real-time insight, Tempest Droneworx aims to prevent issues from becoming serious problems.
In addition to Harbinger™, Tempest Droneworx is bringing Corvus MRDR™ (Modular Robotics Development & Reporting) to market. Corvus MRDR™ is an engineering platform that allows 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. It enables teams to move incrementally from simulation to real hardware without rebuilding the test environment around their code, while capturing telemetry for analysis and playback. This capability could significantly reduce development cycles and costs for robotics and autonomous systems.
Venture Atlanta has a strong track record of fostering technology growth, having helped launch more than 1,000 companies, facilitating more than $8.8 billion in capital raised and $22 billion in successful exits. The event connects entrepreneurs with local and national investors and others in the technology ecosystem who can help them raise the capital they need to grow their businesses.
