Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) Reveals Its Next-Gen Miniature AI-Powered Edge Compute Processor of Drone Footage for Threat Detection

  • Safe Pro Group recently began the commercial rollout of NODE-X, a next-gen miniaturized AI-powered edge compute processor of drone footage for threat detection.
  • The rollout began at a U.S. Army Exercise, and NODE-X is scheduled to be a part of additional U.S. Army exercises throughout the second quarter of 2026.
  • NODE-X is powered by Safe Pro’s patented Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (“SPOTD”), a powerful technology used to rapidly analyze drone imagery and video to identify and detect small explosive threats.

Safe Pro Group (NASDAQ: SPAI), a developer of AI-enabled security, defense, and situational awareness solutions, recently started the commercial rollout of NODE-X at a U.S. Army exercise (https://ibn.fm/5IdSl).

Node-X is a next-gen miniaturized AI-powered edge compute processor of drone footage for detecting threats in military support missions. This solution is the next generation of Safe Pro’s AI-powered ecosystem of tools that enable the rapid processing of drone images and videos for AI threat detection, 3D mapping, and route guidance.

The Node-X is designed as a backpack-sized kit that includes real-time AI inference on an edge compute server, as well as rugged GPU laptops running Safe Pro’s OnSight application, which is compatible with U.S. Army-approved short-range recon (“SRR”) drones.

Node-X is powered by Safe Pro’s Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (“SPOTD”), which is a platform that rapidly analyzes videos and images from virtually any drone to detect and classify explosive threats and other small objects of interest. 

The platform converts raw video into high-resolution 2D/3D models that can quickly be shared to support operational decision-making and provide better situational awareness.

Node-X uses AI and machine learning algorithms that are trained on one of the world’s largest imagery datasets from Ukraine, which includes 2.6 million drone images and 47,000 confirmed detections of small threats like landmines, cluster munitions, ambush drones, and unexploded ordnance (“UXO”).

It operates on the edge without any need for connectivity and incorporates AI-detected threats with the fast generation of 3D models and digital surface models, such as terrain slope, vegetation height, and more.

The field-deployable design and intuitive interface of the solution provides both soldiers and military commanders with important situational awareness, which makes it an ideal piece of tech for a variety of different missions.

The Node-X is scheduled to take part in additional U.S. Army exercises through the second quarter of 2026, as Safe Pro builds momentum towards rapid expansion.
