Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) has been awarded a new $1.3 million U.S. Government subcontract under Forterra, a leading U.S. Defense Prime Contractor, to integrate its real-time AI-powered threat detection technology into autonomous unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). The announcement, made via IBN, marks a significant expansion of Safe Pro's capabilities beyond aerial/drone-based imagery analysis.
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. This integration into UGVs will enable ground-based autonomous systems to identify landmines and other threats in real time, enhancing force protection and demining operations.
In addition to the UGV contract, Safe Pro was recently contracted to provide U.S. Army edge AI operational support for an airfield exercise. This further expands Safe Pro’s role in force protection applications, demonstrating the versatility of its AI-driven detection systems in various operational environments.
The news highlights the growing importance of AI in defense and security, particularly in automating threat detection to reduce risks to personnel. Safe Pro's technology offers the potential to accelerate demining efforts and improve situational awareness for military forces.
