Safe Pro Group Inc. will demonstrate its AI-powered threat detection technology for U.S. Army airfield operations in late June 2026, expanding its application from battlefield and post-conflict zones to global airfield management. The company's patented SPOTD technology will be used to rapidly assess airfield conditions using standard drones and AI-powered imagery analysis. This development marks a significant extension of Safe Pro's solution portfolio, building on over three years of real-world use in Ukraine for detecting landmines, cluster munitions, and other threats.

Upcoming Army Exercises and Demonstrations

In addition to the airfield exercise, Safe Pro has been requested to participate in several U.S. Army-funded technology exercises in Q3 2026. These events will feature the company's edge compute AI-powered NODE and drone imagery analysis platform. The NODE system uses AI and machine learning algorithms trained on one of the world's largest real-world drone-based imagery datasets to instantly detect small, hard-to-find threats.

Safe Pro will also showcase its newest AI threat detection capability, featuring InFlight software embedded into the Red Cat Black Widow drone. This system will push real-time mine detections into the Army's Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) platform, a scalable distribution system used to provide actionable intelligence across vehicles, command posts, and soldier devices.

Technology Capabilities and Data

Safe Pro's technology converts raw visual data collected by drones into rapidly shareable, high-resolution 2D and 3D maps. The company's AI dataset includes more than 2.8 million drone images and over 50,368 confirmed detections collected in over 35,000 acres of land in Ukraine. The platform can identify more than 150 types of explosive threats and objects of interest across large-scale, high-risk environments.

Operating on the edge without the need for connectivity, NODE enables the rapid generation of orthomosaics, vegetation height, terrain slope, and digital surface maps, all incorporating detected threats. This capability provides rapid battlefield situational awareness to end users, turning drone-based video data into detailed models.

Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group Inc., stated that the Army's request to support airfield operations demonstrates the potential to globally scale the company's growth. He emphasized the opportunity to work with the Army on airfield assessment tactics and develop additional AI tools to enhance future mission outcomes.
