Tempest Droneworx™ has been selected to present at Venture Atlanta 2026, one of the nation's leading venture capital conferences, the company announced. The event, scheduled for October 14-15 at the Woodruff Arts Center and Atlanta Symphony Hall, connects the Southeast's fastest-growing technology companies with top-tier investors, corporate innovation leaders, and strategic partners from across the country.
The selection follows a highly competitive application process and signals that Tempest Droneworx's real-time, cross-platform intelligence system is gaining traction among investors and industry leaders. The Houston-based company'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. This technology has been demonstrated 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 capabilities.
Tempest Droneworx is also bringing Corvus MRDR™ (Modular Robotics Development & Reporting) to market, 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. Corvus MRDR™ 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.
The company's 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 serves defense, government, public safety, research, agriculture, infrastructure, and commercial markets. It is an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Houston, Texas.
Venture Atlanta has helped launch more than 1,000 companies, facilitating more than $8.8 billion in capital raised and $22 billion in successful exits. The annual nonprofit event is a collaboration of the Atlanta CEO Council, Metro Atlanta Chamber, and the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG).
