Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI), a developer of artificial intelligence-enabled defense, security and situational awareness solutions, has completed all research milestones under its Phase I Small Business Innovation Research contract awarded by AFWERX, the innovation arm of the Department of the Air Force. The contract, awarded in July, focused on developing an AI dataset using images of foreign object debris and damage commonly encountered at U.S. Air Force and civilian airfields.
Under the program, Safe Pro demonstrated its SpotlightAI computer vision technology for detecting small objects, collected and analyzed high-resolution imagery, and prepared technical project reports. Subject to AFWERX review and determination, the company intends to pursue additional SBIR-funded development contracts. The project represents a potential expansion of Safe Pro’s AI-powered detection capabilities beyond battlefield and post-conflict environments into military and civilian airfield operations.
The company’s patented SPAI Ground Truth software uses AI and machine learning to identify small threats, including landmines, unexploded ordnance and drones, using drone-based imagery. The announcement follows recent interest from the U.S. Army, which has invited Safe Pro to provide operational support during an upcoming airfield exercise. Chairman and CEO Dan Erdberg said the project demonstrates the potential applications of the company’s computer vision technology across defense and civilian markets.
For investors, the completion of Phase I milestones positions Safe Pro to compete for follow-on SBIR contracts and to market its technology to a broader set of government and commercial customers. The ability to detect small objects on airfields is critical for aviation safety and operational readiness, and an AI-driven solution could offer a more efficient alternative to manual inspections.
