Multi-branch adoption by the Army, Air Force and defense primes has pushed the company’s AI edge-compute and imagery-processing contracts to eight awards through early August, alongside a new Army research agreement and a landmine-detection dataset built over nearly three years in Ukraine.
Safe Pro Group announced Aug. 10 that its total AI-related orders for 2026 have surpassed $5 million in aggregate contract value, driven by a string of government awards for its AI-powered threat detection and mapping technology.
The company said the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force and multiple defense prime contractors have selected its AI software for mapping threats, enhancing situational awareness and mission-planning applications, and that it has received eight contracts through early August for AI edge-compute and rapid imagery-processing technology spanning both aerial drones and ground-based autonomous systems. Order values represent contract award figures and may not yet be fully recognized as revenue.
Dan Erdberg, chairman and chief executive officer of Safe Pro Group, said the company is “building momentum in our AI revenue pipeline” that it believes can scale into multiple Army programs of record.
The SPOTD Platform
Safe Pro’s core technology is its Safe Pro Object Threat Detection platform, which processes imagery and video from commercially available drones to automatically detect and classify explosive threats and other objects of interest, converting raw footage into high-resolution 2D and 3D geospatial models. The company says SPOTD can identify more than 150 types of landmines and unexploded ordnance and has been deployed in active operational environments in Ukraine for nearly three years, building a proprietary dataset of more than 2.9 million analyzed images, over 54,328 identified threats and coverage of roughly 37,900 acres.
An Army Research Agreement
Two days after the order announcement, Safe Pro said it had entered a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center to explore AI-powered object detection using UAS and sensor data for situational awareness and planning applications spanning both military and civil disaster-response use cases. The company separately reported Aug. 14 that second-quarter 2026 revenue grew 1,336% year over year, tied to the same run of government contracts.
Safe Pro plans to host an Innovation Day on Aug. 25 in Aventura, Florida, featuring live drone operations demonstrating the AI software in the field.
