The latest news for you You don’t want to miss this. Tempest Droneworx™ Awarded FAA Contract for Harbinger™ Software to Enhance 3D Mapping with Multi-Drone Control Tempest Droneworx™, a leading innovator in drone technology and real-time intelligence, is proud to announce that it has been awarded a contract by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the demonstration and evaluation of the Control component of its Harbinger™ software. The software addresses the challenge of managing multiple drones with a single pilot for 3D mapping purposes, a feat that is set to revolutionize the drone industry. As part of the contract, Tempest Droneworx™ will provide the FAA with a comprehensive report, and a proposed Standard Operating Procedure for multi-drone mapping. Read Full Press Release Here Harbinger™ Stress Tested with ALERTCalifornia Once our founder, Ty heard about ALERTCalifornia coming online, he was intrigued. Due to the Tempest Droneworx™ story (Ty’s hometown of Paradise, CA burning in Nov, 2018), Ty immediately wanted to test the system with Harbinger™. Tapping into nearly 1,200 open source cameras was easy enough, but where we thought Harbinger would max out at around 200 sensors, we were DRASTICALLY wrong… in the best possible way. Our Harbinger™ server was not only able to source the data from the system, but used a fraction of server resources to do so. In essence, we were able to visualize the entire state of California in real-time, and in 3D… with existing infrastructure! Curious to learn more? Contact Us! Tempest Droneworx™ Presenting at MOSA Summit Ty Audronis, our Founder and CEO will be presenting on behalf of Tempest Droneworx™ as a finalist in the MOSA Innovation Challenge. As 1 of 20 companies selected among hundreds of applicants, Tempest and Ty are honored to be a part of this event, and appreciative of the opportunity to present our amazing Harbinger™ Technology to officials and leaders who have blazed the way, and continue to lead in aerospace, military, and engineering!

July 2023 Newsletter

: July Tempest Droneworx Update The Team Continues to Grow…     July, 2023 Welcome to the July edition of Tempest Droneworx newsletter! We are so excited to share our latest news and updates with you. This month, we have several exciting announcements… Lt.Col. (USAF Ret.) Taylor Johnston Joins the Tempest Droneworx Team Tempest is proud to announce the addition of USAF Lt. Col. (Ret) Taylor Johnston to its Advisory Board. In this role, Lt. Col. Johnston will share his knowledge to further enhance Harbinger’s ability to meet the needs of the USAF and other branches of the DoD. Additionally, he will help to connect the Tempest Droneworx team to potential DoD customers who can benefit from the Harbinger platform. “Taylor’s desire to bring innovation to aid the warfighter and introducing new ways to think about existing problems aligns with Tempest’s approach to everything we do,” said Tempest Droneworx CEO, Ty Audronis. “We couldn’t be happier to welcome Taylor to our team!”  Meet Shannon Lombardo, Software Engineer We’ve also added a new Sofware Engineer, Shannon Lombardo. A message from Shannon: Hello everyone! My name is Shannon, and I recently graduated from the University of Houston with a bachelors in Computer Science. During college I was heavily involved in our ACM-W chapter, an engineering sorority, and had a lot of leadership positions within those groups. I’ve loved all sorts of aerospace and robotics related topics for as long as I can remember. In my free time, I enjoy exploring downtown and playing video games. Im excited to join the team and use my coding knowledge to bring Tempest Droneworx’s ideas to life! What is Harbinger? The Harbinger platform consists of four components (aggregate, control, analyze, and disseminate) working together to present real-time 3D multispectral maps across an entire command chain via a video game engine. It is sensor/drone agnostic, and can utilize any analysis software which has an API on the back end to provide real-time contextual intelligence across the entire command chain… simultaneously. Learn More About Harbinger Pilot Programs We are also excited to announce that Tempest is exploring Pilot Programs for the civilian version of our Harbinger platform. This platform revolutionizes how static sensors, drones, and even crowdsourced mobile data can be fused and used in a wide range of applications, from search and rescue to wildfire prevention, and from security to data analysis on large-scale projects. Users find this platform extremely easy to use and powerful enough to tackle any project. If you or your organization is interested in participating in a Harbinger pilot program, contact us at info@tempestdroneworx.com Interested in a Pilot Program? Click Here! We’re happy to say that, with the addition of Taylor and Shannon, dedication from our talented engineers, and partnerships with organizations like AFWERX, Tempest Droneworx is quickly growing as a leader in intelligence technology     Tempest Droneworx | 14690 Perthshire Rd, Apt F, Houston, TX 77079 Unsubscribe ty@tempestdroneworx.com Update Profile | Constant Contact Data Notice Sent by info@tempestdroneworx.com powered by Try email marketing for free today!

Tempest Droneworx – Year End Newsletter, 2022

Happy Holidays The entire Tempest team wishes you and yours the happiest holiday season, and a very hopeful and prosperous 2023! Testing Continues! We’ve been out in the field running tests on the Harbinger platform. And… the secrecy is over! We’re happy to announce our product. Watch the video below for an initial product demo and tour! What Exactly is Harbinger? Harbinger is Tempest Droneworx’s flagship product. It’s a portable, dedicated server which aggregates data from drones and robots (land, air, sea, subsurface, and space), static sensors (such as security cameras), and crowdsourced data (via a mobile app). Harbinger then presents that data via client software (mobile, desktop, AR/VR, etc.) in the form of REAL-TIME 3D multispectral maps. Want more information? Schedule a Zoom Meeting Here Tempest in the Wild 2023 AFWERX INNOVATION INDUSTRY DAYS Tempest will be at the 2023 AFWERX Innovation Industry Days (January 24-26 in San Antonio, TX).
