Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) announced today that 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 growing importance of AI-driven autonomous systems in modern warfare, where rapid and accurate threat detection can significantly reduce risks to personnel and equipment. By equipping UGVs with Safe Pro's technology, the U.S. Army aims to improve its ability to conduct reconnaissance and clearance operations in contested environments.
