Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI), a company specializing in advanced security and defense solutions, announced it has been awarded a new $1.3 million U.S. Government subcontract (https://ibn.fm/LrF01) under Forterra, a leading U.S. Defense Prime Contractor. The contract involves integrating Safe Pro’s real-time AI-powered threat detection technology into autonomous unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), marking a significant expansion beyond its traditional use in aerial drone imagery analysis.
Safe Pro’s technology is powered by its patented Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (“SPOTD”), which utilizes artificial intelligence trained on a large dataset of drone imagery to rapidly detect and identify small objects and threats. This integration into UGVs will enable ground-based autonomous systems to identify threats such as landmines and improvised explosive devices in real time, enhancing operational safety and efficiency for military and humanitarian missions.
In addition to the UGV contract, Safe Pro was recently contracted to provide U.S. Army edge AI operational support for an airfield exercise. This further expands Safe Pro’s role in force protection applications, demonstrating the versatility of its AI technology in various defense scenarios. The edge AI capability allows processing to occur directly on the device, reducing latency and enabling real-time decision-making in field conditions.
The award underscores the growing demand for autonomous systems equipped with advanced AI in defense applications. By combining UGV platforms with SPOTD, Safe Pro aims to reduce the risk to personnel and accelerate threat detection in complex environments. The company’s technology has potential applications beyond defense, including humanitarian demining and security operations.
