Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) announced it has received a $1.3 million U.S. Army subcontract from a leading defense prime contractor to integrate its proprietary AI-powered real-time threat detection technology into autonomous Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs). The project will incorporate Safe Pro’s computer vision and machine learning pipeline onboard UGVs to detect explosive threats in real time while supporting on-the-move military operations.
The company’s patented SPOTD (Safe Pro Object Threat Detection) technology is trained on one of the world’s largest real-world drone imagery datasets and can identify more than 150 types of explosive threats and objects of interest, including landmines, unexploded ordnance and hostile drones. Safe Pro said its AI models are built on more than 2.8 million drone images and over 50,000 confirmed detections collected across more than 35,000 acres in Ukraine, providing enhanced situational awareness capabilities for military and security applications.
This contract underscores the U.S. Army's increasing reliance on autonomous systems and AI to improve soldier safety and mission effectiveness. By integrating SPOTD into UGVs, the military aims to reduce the risk to personnel by enabling vehicles to identify and potentially neutralize threats without direct human intervention. The technology's extensive training on real-world data from conflict zones like Ukraine gives it a unique advantage in recognizing a wide array of explosive devices, which is critical for operations in contested environments.
The award also highlights Safe Pro's growing role in the defense technology sector. The company's cloud-based ecosystem, powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), allows for scalable deployment and continuous improvement of its AI models. This contract could pave the way for further adoption of Safe Pro's solutions across other military branches and allied nations, as the demand for autonomous threat detection continues to rise.
Safe Pro Group is a mission-driven technology company delivering AI-enabled security and defense solutions. Through platforms like SPOTD, Safe Pro provides advanced situational awareness tools for defense, humanitarian, and homeland security applications globally. The Company is a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions specializing in drone imagery processing, leveraging commercially available off-the-shelf drones with its proprietary machine learning and computer vision technology to enable rapid identification of explosive threats, providing a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional human-based analysis methods.
