Safe Pro awarded $1.3 million contract for AI-powered explosive threat detection

Safe Pro Group, a developer of AI-enabled defence, security and situational awareness solutions, has announced today that it has been awarded a $1.3 million USD US Government subcontract to integrate their proprietary AI-powered real-time threat detection technology into US Government autonomous uncrewed ground vehicles.

Under the award from a leading US defence prime contractor, Forterra, Safe Pro will integrate and test its proprietary computer vision and machine learning AI pipeline onboard autonomous UGVs for real-time detection of explosive threats supporting on-the-move operations.

Safe Pro’s patented object threat detection technology 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 such as landmines, cluster munitions, UXO and ambush drones, Safe Pro wrote in a press release.

"The platform can identify more than 150 types of explosive threats and objects of interest across large-scale, high-risk environments, creating a novel and scalable approach to situational awareness on the battlefield. Safe Pro’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."
