(Nasdaq: SPAI) ("Safe Pro" or the "Company"), a leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered defense and security solutions, today announced that its SpotlightAITM OnSite (OnSite) real-time, edge-based, small object threat detection technology, has successfully completed operations in active minefields in Ukraine. This successful deployment highlights the Company's patented capability to rapidly identify and instantly map live explosive threats including small anti-personnel cluster munitions and landmines scattered over large areas. Building on over two years of real-world battlefield testing, this milestone in the Company's development roadmap demonstrates the ability to deliver edge-based small object threat detection reducing a soldier's cognitive load and representing the next generation of force protection. To view a video of SpotlightAITM Onsite please click here. "Evolving threats like remote mining where everyday drones are strategically delivering small mines is a new critical threat profile that our edge-based system is uniquely designed to address. Our recent operational success confirmed that our AI models can reduce the cognitive load on soldiers who are already heavily tasked and may not have the time to recognize explosive threats in their path. This a significant step forward on the Edge where drone-based small object threat detection for force protection is responding to the rapidly changing modern battlefield. Building upon our unmatched real-world experience in detecting, identifying and locating small explosive threats in Ukraine, we believe OnSite can deliver a new level of enhanced situational awareness that will allow military, government and humanitarian personnel to safely conduct their critical missions with greatly enhanced safety," said Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group Inc. "The increasing number of countries exiting the Ottawa Convention on anti-personnel landmines will likely lead to an increased proliferation of deadly anti-personnel mines and that is why we are committed to the further development and deployment of our patented technology so that we can help protect our soldiers and our allies." Real-Time Threat Detection Anywhere, On the Cloud and the Edge The SpotlightAITM OnSite application is a real-time autonomous mine and explosive threat detection software designed for use with virtually any drone and running locally at the Edge on Microsoft Windows-based PCs. Operating on a battlefield or in a contested territory and providing real-time local AI processing of drone-based imagery without internet or battlespace connectivity, SpotlightAITM OnSite can provide enhanced situational awareness for greater soldier safety and enhanced force protection. Whether deployed on the edge in real-time or leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) on the cloud, the Company is equipped to scale globally, offering solutions from rapid battlefield analysis and force protection to large-scale commercial and humanitarian demining operations. Powered by Real-World Data and Expertise OnSite is powered by the Company's patented Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) technology which is designed to detect over 150 different kinds of small, hard-to-spot threats including landmines, anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions and UXO.

Safe Pro and Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, Ukraine's Leading Technical University, Sign Multi-Year MOU to Collaborate on Artificial Intelligence and Drone Technology

New Research Collaboration to Focus on Development of New Technologies, Education and Training Programs Incorporating Cutting-Edge AI Technology for Applications Including Demining, Environmental Safety, Agricultural and Rare Earth Geology Projects as well as Infrastructure Reconstruction AVENTURA, Fla. & KYIV, Ukraine, February 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Safe Pro Group Inc. (Nasdaq: SPAI) ("Safe Pro" or the "Company"), a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI) -powered solutions specializing in small object threat detection and the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute ("the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute" or "KPI") have signed a multi-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) under which they will collaborate on utilizing the Company's patented artificial intelligence (AI)-powered drone image processing technology, SpotlightAI™, to develop enhanced demining methodologies and potential training programs. Originally founded in 1898, the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute is the largest technical university of Ukraine and one of Europe's leading research universities. Under the agreement, the two organizations will collaborate on the development of enhanced demining survey methodologies and training programs leveraging Safe Pro's SpotlightAI™, patented hyper-scalable AI-powered drone demining ecosystem running on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. Safe Pro and KPI researchers will combine their respective experience and expertise in the field of AI-powered drone imagery analysis and humanitarian demining training programs to implement innovative AI technologies to improve the accuracy and efficiency of land surveying. Additional collaboration may include the establishment of a virtual reality training center for developing projects that incorporate cutting-edge technologies and artificial intelligence for demining, environmental safety, agricultural and rare earth geology projects, and in the reconstruction of Ukraine's infrastructure. "Safe Pro is proud to collaborate with KPI, one of the foremost research institutions of its kind in Ukraine and with its talented team who are dedicated to leveraging cutting-edge innovations such as our AI-powered small object threat detection technology into a truly modern approach to demining," said Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group Inc. Anatolii Melnychenkoat, Rector of the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, commented, "As one of the first research organizations in Ukraine to formally create comprehensive training programs for humanitarian demining personnel, we immediately recognized the revolutionary impact that AI-powered technologies can have on improving the speed and effectiveness of locating and identifying landmines and unexploded ordnance. We look forward to working with Safe Pro as we seek to integrate advanced technologies and modernize humanitarian demining and help train the next generation of brave men and women who are committed to eliminating the threat of landmines in Ukraine." Safe Pro's proprietary AI models have now analyzed 1,000,000 drone images in Ukraine, pinpointing over 20,000 explosive remnants of war (ERW) across 4,355 hectares (over 10,756 acres or approximately 8,150 NFL-sized football fields). Operating at lightning speed on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, SpotlightAI™ analyzes each drone image in less than 0.2 seconds. In contrast, traditional human analysis can take several minutes per image-a process that could span decades if done manually. Real-world Ukraine detection statistics and imagery can be found at Safe Pro AI's Landmine and UXO Detection Counter at The SpotlightAI™ software ecosystem utilizes advanced machine learning (ML) models for small object detection and data reporting built on an extensive proprietary dataset capable of rapidly identifying and locating 150+ types of land mines and UXO. Operating locally for rapid object detection and locating, or through the hyper scalability of the AWS Cloud, SpotlightAI™ can process massive amounts of sub-centimeter-level drone imagery, providing customers with unique flexibility based on evolving operational needs. Enhanced with the hyper scalability of the AWS cloud, SpotlightAI™ can securely generate detailed, high-resolution orthomosaic maps highlighting objects of interest and can plot detection results on customizable, GPS-tagged, sub-centimeter-level, high resolution 2D and enhanced, interactive 3D maps. These maps can provide a "bird's-eye view" of the surveyed area, delivering enhanced situational awareness for planning clearing and land release efforts by local governments and humanitarian aid organizations.
