What Emerging Technology Ventures does

Emerging Technology Ventures (ETV) is a privately held, woman-owned (EDWOSB) and HUBZone-certified small business founded in 2014 and headquartered at the NMSU Arrowhead Center in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The company is principally engaged in the research, design, development, integration, and sustainment of advanced autonomous data-driven services for government and commercial customers, with a stated headcount of 1-10 employees. Leadership consists of Chairman and President Deborah K. Hudson and CEO Eugene C. "Cliff" Hudson, and the firm operates two adjacent subsidiaries, Systems Technology Solutions (STS) and Robotic Technology Solutions (RTS).

ETV's core offering is KEENAI™, a patent-pending autonomous workflow platform that delivers real-time decision analytics at the edge through an end-to-end plan-sense-understand-decide-act loop. The technology combines multi-modal sensing and fusion (visual, LiDAR, thermal, ultrasonic, IoT), AI/ML predictive analytics, hybrid edge/cloud computing, and scalable Human-Autonomy Teaming across air, land, maritime, and space domains. Application modules span precision agriculture (GreenAI), wind turbine inspection (SkyAI), aircraft and land vehicle inspection, maritime and ship inspection, component maintenance with AR/VR repair support, and critical infrastructure/facility management with digital twin creation.

ETV monetizes through three channels: (1) professional services under government contracts, primarily the U.S. Navy SeaPort-NxG IDIQ (covering 23 functional areas across Navy Systems Commands, Marine Corps, and Office of Naval Research) and NASA STTR research contracts; (2) subscription-based SaaS inspection services sold across inspection verticals; and (3) custom autonomous system solutions and one-time licenses for defense, public safety, agriculture, and critical infrastructure customers. Distribution relies on direct enterprise sales supported by demonstration requests, contract vehicles (SeaPort-NxG, NASA STTR), and partnerships with IBM (Maximo integration), Sandia National Laboratories, and New Mexico universities. Pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed.
