AVENTURA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Safe Pro Group Inc. (Nasdaq: SPAI) ('Safe Pro' or the 'Company'), a leader in AI-powered security solutions, today announced a major artificial intelligence (AI) data processing milestone, solidifying its position in the forefront of battlefield intelligence and threat detection. The Company's patented AI ecosystem has successfully analyzed over 1.6 million real-world images from Ukraine conflict zones, establishing one of the world's most detailed datasets of landmines, cluster munitions, anti-personnel mines and evidence points captured by commercially available, off-the-shelf drones.
This strategic achievement marks a critical inflection point in Safe Pro's scale, product validation and commercialization efforts. This real-world data enhancement is used to more accurately detect small explosive threats, delivering greater value and battlefield awareness to end users.
'This milestone represents a significant advance in our AI-driven capabilities for real-time defense, commercial and humanitarian operations, enhancing its value as a strategic asset for large-scale Government and Commercial customers,' said Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group. 'Driven by one of the world's most detailed real-world drone imagery datasets processed by AI, we are building a company positioned to capitalize on a large unmet need for on-the-ground threat intelligence that can enable safer missions for military personnel, first responders, humanitarian workers, and commercial operators.'
The Company's proprietary Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) technology, which enables the real-time detection of small explosive threats such as unexploded ordnance (UXO) and landmines, now benefits from enhanced accuracy and predictive capabilities derived from this unparalleled dataset.
'Furthering the capabilities of our state-of-the-art AI algorithms will support our continued commercialization efforts and create opportunities to grow our network of partnerships and secure valuable contacts this year,' concluded Mr. Erdberg.
As of June 2025, Safe Pro's SPOTD dataset includes GPS-tagged imagery identifying approximately 27,450 threats across more than 6,614 hectares in Ukraine, an area larger than Manhattan.
Today, nearly 60 countries are impacted by land mines or Unexploded Remnants of War (ERW) (source: Landmine Monitor, 2024), creating a large global opportunity for Safe Pro Group.
Supported by US Patent No. 12,146,729 including 21 claims, the Company's patent application entitled, 'Systems and Methods for Detecting and Identifying Explosives,' covers autonomous detection, identification, and labeling of explosives in orthomosaic images using AI processing of drone imagery. Valid until 2043, the patent captures the groundbreaking nature of the Company's technology and applicability for national defense and security applications as well as supporting global commercial and industrial markets ranging from humanitarian demining, agriculture, to post-conflict reconstruction.
Building upon the continued enhancement of its threat detection capabilities, Safe Pro confirmed its ongoing integration of SPOTD with the U.S. military's TAK (Team Awareness Kit) software ecosystem which powers tactical communications and situational awareness for defense, law enforcement, and first responders. This integration is designed to allow instant detection and dissemination of explosive threats across hundreds of thousands of soldier-carried and vehicle-mounted devices using the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) software application.
'Successful integration with ATAK could represent a large opportunity to support multiple Army programs that operate on the TAK ecosystem,' added Mr. Erdberg. 'We believe this positions Safe Pro to capture a share of the $15B+ global defense tech market, particularly in AI, drone reconnaissance, and threat detection.'
