Safe Pro Group has secured a $1.3 million U.S. Army subcontract to integrate its AI-powered threat detection technology into autonomous unmanned ground vehicles, enhancing real-time explosive threat identification for military operations.

Safe Pro Group (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 growing importance of AI-driven solutions in defense applications, particularly for autonomous systems operating in high-risk environments. By equipping UGVs with Safe Pro’s threat detection software, the U.S. Army aims to improve soldier safety and operational efficiency by automating the identification of explosive hazards. The technology’s ability to process vast amounts of visual data in real time could significantly reduce the time and risk associated with manual reconnaissance.
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 leverages commercially available off-the-shelf drones with its proprietary machine learning and computer vision technology to enable rapid identification of explosive threats, offering a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional human-based analysis methods. Built on a cloud-based ecosystem powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Safe Pro Group’s scalable platform targets multiple markets, including commercial, government, law enforcement, and humanitarian sectors.
