- Safe Pro Group has been awarded a new government contract to integrate AI-powered landmine detection into unmanned ground vehicles.
- The technology is powered by Safe Pro’s patented Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (“SPOTD”), which uses AI trained on a large dataset of drone imagery to rapidly detect and identify small objects and threats.
- Safe Pro was also recently contracted to provide U.S. Army edge AI operational support for an airfield exercise, further expanding Safe Pro’s role in force protection applications.
Safe Pro Group (NASDAQ: SPAI), a mission-driven tech company that delivers advanced security and defense solutions, recently announced that it has been awarded a new $1.3 million U.S. Government subcontract (https://ibn.fm/LrF01).
The award was under Forterra, a leading U.S. Defense Prime Contractor, and Safe Pro has been contracted to integrate its real-time AI-powered threat detection technology into autonomous unmanned ground vehicles (“UGVs”), significantly expanding its use beyond the analysis of aerial/drone-based imagery to now include a wide array of potential ground vehicles.
Under the award, Safe Pro will both integrate and test this technology and proprietary advanced computer vision and machine learning AI pipeline onboard these UGVs, to provide the real-time detection of threats such as landmines.
The technology is powered by Safe Pro’s Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (“SPOTD”) technology, which uses AI and machine learning algorithms trained on one of the world’s largest real-world drone imagery datasets to detect small and hard-to-find threats like landmines, ambush drones, unexploded ordnance (“UXO”), and cluster munitions.
In total, the platform is capable of identifying more than 150 threats, providing much more situational awareness on the battlefield. Safe Pro’s massive AI dataset currently contains more than 2.9 million drone images, as well as over 51,750 confirmed detections across more than 37,835 acres of land.
In addition to announcing this new contract, Safe Pro was also recently contracted to provide U.S. Army Edge AI operational support for an airfield exercise (https://ibn.fm/lYdhy). At the event, Safe Pro demonstrated how its threat detection technology can be a force multiplier for rapid airfield operations, by being able to quickly assess the condition of airfields, runways, and landing zones.
Speaking about the exercise, Safe Pro’s Chairman and CEO, Dan Erdberg, said that “For several years our team has firmly believed that our novel models would grow beyond surveying minefields and this latest Army request to have our AI potentially support their airfield operations is evidence that we have opportunities to globally scale our growth.”
This exercise, and the previous participation in other U.S. Army exercises, has expanded Safe Pro’s role in force protection applications, and has highlighted the U.S. Army’s continued interest in the capabilities of Safe Pro’s technology.
