Safe Pro Group (NASDAQ: SPAI) announced it has secured 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 subcontract underscores the growing importance of AI-driven solutions in modern warfare, where rapid and accurate threat detection can significantly reduce risks to personnel and equipment. By integrating SPOTD into UGVs, the U.S. Army aims to automate the detection of explosive hazards, allowing military units to maintain operational tempo while minimizing exposure to danger. The technology’s ability to identify a wide range of threats, from landmines to hostile drones, offers a versatile tool for combat engineers and infantry units operating in contested environments.
The use of data collected from Ukraine, a region heavily affected by landmines and unexploded ordnance, provides a robust training foundation for Safe Pro’s AI models. This real-world experience enhances the system’s reliability and accuracy, making it a valuable asset for military and humanitarian operations alike. The subcontract also highlights the potential for commercial off-the-shelf drones and AI to revolutionize battlefield reconnaissance and clearance operations.
