Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI), a developer of AI-enabled defense and security solutions, has been awarded a subcontract and purchase order valued at approximately $180,000 to support a U.S. Department of State program. The award includes five hardened GPU-powered laptop computers preloaded with Safe Pro’s Spotlight OnSight AI threat detection and mapping software, along with three years of software licensing and AI model upgrades. This technology is designed to enhance Ukraine’s ability to demine its territory without relying on foreign assistance.
The OnSight software enables users to detect explosive threats from imagery captured by drones, both basic and advanced models. It maps and exports predictions in standard geospatial formats at the edge, meaning it operates without internet connectivity. This capability is crucial for demining operations in remote or contested areas where connectivity is unreliable. By processing drone imagery on-site, Ukrainian personnel can quickly identify landmines and unexploded ordnance, significantly speeding up the demining process and reducing risks to human life.
This contract highlights the growing importance of AI in modern defense and humanitarian efforts. Safe Pro’s technology leverages commercially available drones and proprietary machine learning algorithms, offering a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional manual demining. The system is built on a cloud-based ecosystem powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), but the edge computing feature ensures it remains functional even without cloud access.
The award comes at a critical time as Ukraine continues to face the threat of landmines and other explosive remnants of war. According to the press release, the technology is expected to enhance Ukraine’s self-sufficiency in demining efforts, a key factor in rebuilding and securing affected areas. The U.S. Department of State’s support underscores the strategic importance of such technologies in addressing global security challenges.
Safe Pro Group is a mission-driven company that provides AI-enabled security and defense solutions for defense, humanitarian, and homeland security applications. Its platforms, like SPOTD, are used globally. The company’s AI expertise in drone imagery processing allows for rapid identification of explosive threats, making operations safer and more efficient. This new award is a testament to the company’s growing role in international security initiatives.
