Safe Pro Demonstrates Next-Generation of Military Force Protection Powered by its Artificial Intelligence, Small Object Threat Detection Technology
Company Commences Technology Development Following Meetings with Department of Defense on Threat Detection Integration into Military Platforms AVENTURA, Fla., May 01, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Safe Pro Group Inc. (Nasdaq: SPAI) ("Safe Pro" or the "Company"), a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven security solutions, today announced it has successfully completed multiple demonstrations of its patented Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) technology to various branches of the U.S. Department of Defense. Following these briefings, the Company commenced the integration of its SPOTD technology onto the Win-TAK platform, part of the U.S. Army's Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) software ecosystem. As a result of these successful demonstrations, the Company is accelerating additional development efforts that seek to integrate the Company's SPOTD technology into the full TAK software ecosystem which includes the U.S. Army's ATAK (Android Tactical Assault Kit or ATAK) platform. Integration of SPOTD into ATAK is designed to allow detections of small explosive threats instantly identified in drone-based imagery by the Company's AI technology to be quickly pushed across potentially hundreds of thousands of soldier-carried and vehicle-mounted wireless connected devices widely utilized by the U.S. Armed Forces. The SPOTD technology could also potentially play a pivotal role in supporting reconstruction efforts in Ukraine following the creation of United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund as announced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The reconstruction of Ukraine will require massive investment into demining resources and technology such as AI and drones to detect millions of landmines and explosive remnants of war which will need to be located. TAK is the core of a suite of georeferenced imagery and communications tools that allow for scaled operational planning, data sharing, visualized elevation data, and target management. TAK provides a common operational picture for military, law enforcement and first responders, and government, and runs on an array of end-user devices such as smartphones or tablets. The SPOTD TAK integration effort follows a series of briefings with Government officials and Prime Contractors focusing on using AI-powered drone-based imagery processing for various applications. These in-depth technical demonstrations and briefings centered around the Company's proprietary SPOTD platform and more than two years of real-world end-user feedback collected from operations in Ukraine. Evolving Explosive Threats on the Battlefield Discussions highlighted evolving battlefield tactics such as remote mining where drones are strategically delivering small mines and the potential impact of multiple allied countries exiting the Ottawa Convention on anti-personnel landmines. These developments could result in soldiers facing a significant proliferation of deadly explosive threats, a trend increasingly being recognized by today's military leadership. "We are laser focused on enhancing today's force protection capabilities with the technologies needed to address evolving battlefield threats such as swarms of small drones emplacing deadly mines. Through the integration of our SPOTD technology into the TAK ecosystem, one of the most widely employed situational awareness tools used by the Military, we can push actionable intelligence of explosive threats directly to soldiers. SPOTD is a natural fit for TAK and we look forward to capitalizing on the significant new global deployment opportunities that our integration into this platform can provide in support of military, government, law enforcement and first responder end users," said Dan Erdberg CEO of Safe Pro Group. The TAK can provide voice, video and text-based data as well as geospatial mapping, enhancing a user's situational awareness (or SA). ATAK for military use can provide SA during combat operations by displaying streamed video imagery and data collected by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or from Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) and provide 3-D maps with indicated points of interest. Successfully completing compatibility and integration of SPOTD as a plug-in for the TAK ecosystem will enable the Company to pursue revenue-generating task orders, contracts and software licensing agreements with prime contractors supporting the U.S. Department of Defense who can utilize its real-time explosive threat detection data in soldier safety, force protection and C6ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber-Defense and Combative Systems) applications. Powered by Real-World Data and Expertise The Company's AI-powered drone-based imagery analysis platform can detect and identify over 150 types of landmines and unexploded ordnance in a fraction of a second per image, rapidly delivering mission-critical situational awareness. Whether deployed on the edge in real-time (SpotlightAITM OnSite) or leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) on the cloud (SpotlightAITM), the Company's SPOTD technology can scale globally, offering solutions for rapid battlefield analysis and force protection, to supporting large-scale commercial and humanitarian demining operations. Powering the Company's SPOTD technology, Safe Pro's unique real-world datasets include high-resolution drone imagery and GPS-tagged geospatial data encompassing over 1.29 million drone images analyzed to date, and 23,000+ threats identified across 5,300+ hectares in Ukraine, an area nearly equivalent in size to Manhattan.
