Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) announced it will unveil its new InFlight embeddable, real-time AI-powered threat detection package integrated into Red Cat Holdings’ (NASDAQ: RCAT) Black Widow(TM) drones during U.S. Army exercises scheduled for the third quarter of 2026. Embedded directly onboard the Black Widow platform selected under the U.S. Army’s Short Range Reconnaissance Program of Record, InFlight enables real-time detection and location of more than 150 explosive threats, including landmines, cluster munitions and ambush FPV drones, while delivering live threat data into the Army’s Tactical Assault Kit software ecosystem to enhance battlefield situational awareness and tactical decision-making.
This integration represents a significant advancement in drone-based reconnaissance and threat detection, leveraging Safe Pro’s proprietary machine learning and computer vision technology. The InFlight system processes imagery directly on the drone, eliminating the need for cloud connectivity or post-mission analysis, which is critical for operations in contested environments. By embedding AI directly onto the Black Widow platform, soldiers can receive real-time alerts and precise geolocation of threats, enabling immediate avoidance or engagement.
The U.S. Army’s selection of the Black Widow for its Short Range Reconnaissance Program underscores the platform’s suitability for small-unit operations. The addition of InFlight transforms the drone from a passive surveillance tool into an active threat detection asset. According to the company, the system can identify explosive hazards and hostile drones, providing a tactical advantage in complex battlefields.
Safe Pro Group is a mission-driven technology company delivering AI-enabled security and defense solutions. Through platforms like SPOTD, the company provides advanced situational awareness tools for defense, humanitarian, and homeland security applications globally. The InFlight package builds on Safe Pro’s cloud-based AI ecosystem, powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), but operates independently for onboard processing. This dual capability allows the system to function in denied or degraded network environments.
The demonstration during U.S. Army exercises will validate the system’s performance under realistic conditions. Successful integration could lead to broader adoption across military branches and allied forces. The collaboration with Red Cat Holdings, a provider of tactical drones, highlights the growing trend of AI integration into defense platforms.
