- SPOTD has already analyzed more than 1.78 million drone images, identifying over 31,600 threats in Ukraine.
- The collaboration targets defense, homeland security, and global commercial markets, including NATO partners and humanitarian demining.
- Safe Pro’s scalable technology can be deployed in real time via drones or on cloud platforms through AWS.
Safe Pro Group (NASDAQ: SPAI), an emerging provider of AI-powered security and threat detection solutions, announced new partnerships with U.S. drone companies Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) and Unusual Machines Inc. (NYSE: UMAC), aimed at integrating artificial intelligence-powered threat detection into next-generation aerial platforms (https://ibn.fm/1B3YM).
The agreements, set out in signed Memoranda of Understanding, are designed to combine Safe Pro’s patented AI-driven computer vision tools with the hardware and software of its new partners. The move comes shortly after Safe Pro closed an $8 million private placement with both Ondas and Unusual Machines, underscoring growing interest in the firm’s technology.
At the center of the collaboration is the company’s Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (“SPOTD”) system, which uses machine learning to detect over 150 types of small, difficult-to-spot threats. These include landmines, unexploded ordnance, and cluster munitions, hazards that present significant risks to both military and civilian populations.
Ondas plans to integrate the SPOTD platform into its ecosystem of autonomous commercial and defense drones, with an emphasis on U.S. Department of Defense customers, NATO allies, and humanitarian operations in Ukraine. Unusual Machines, a maker of FPV (first-person view) drones, will connect SPOTD’s real-time detection with its Aura Cameras and HDO+ Goggles, enhancing situational awareness for both government and enterprise clients.
Safe Pro’s technology has already been deployed in active environments. In Ukraine, its system has processed more than 1.78 million drone images, geotagging over 31,600 threats across nearly 20,000 acres of land. The dataset forms one of the largest real-world AI training resources for explosive detection currently available.
The platform operates flexibly, either at the edge through its SPOTD NODE system for immediate battlefield use or via the cloud using AWS infrastructure under its SpotlightAI offering. This scalability positions Safe Pro to serve both military and civilian markets.
Ondas Chairman and CEO Eric Brock noted that Safe Pro’s technology “has already proven its capabilities on the battlefield of Ukraine,” which clearly demonstrates its potential to meet the needs of demanding customers in the military and commercial markets. “We believe that Safe Pro’s technology has the potential to greatly contribute to Ondas’ growing ecosystem of unique drone-based solutions and we look forward to working closely with their team in the weeks and months ahead,” he added.
Dr. Allan Evans, CEO of Unusual Machines, emphasized the potential export value of U.S.-made drone and AI technologies. “Our goal is to see the American drone ecosystem emerge as a global powerhouse. Collaboration amongst companies like ours and Safe Pro is a key step toward us collectively achieving that goal. In this instance, integrating cameras with their patented AI-powered drone imagery analysis technology makes an ideal solution for removing landmines in Ukraine or helping to protect our soldiers from explosive threats on the battlefield,” he said.
Safe Pro Chairman and CEO Dan Erdberg framed the agreements with “two of the most dynamic innovators shaping America’s drone future” as a step toward accelerating deployment globally. “Together, we see tremendous opportunities both here in the U.S. and across the globe to accelerate the deployment of next-generation, AI-powered drone solutions. By combining our strengths, we are not just advancing technology—we’re empowering customers to accomplish their most critical missions while safeguarding civilian lives.”
The U.S. drone market is experiencing steady growth, supported by rising defense budgets and increasing use of unmanned systems in infrastructure, logistics, and public safety. Safe Pro’s entry into partnerships with two listed U.S. drone companies could provide scale and market access that would be difficult to achieve independently. The company is positioning itself at the intersection of AI, computer vision, and drone technology; three sectors that continue to attract capital.
With its SPOTD platform adaptable to both government and commercial markets, and with growing U.S. defense interest, the company is likely to remain on the radar of investors looking for exposure to AI-enabled security technologies.
