Safe Pro completes Army exercise at Fort Hood with AI battlefield tools
Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) completed participation in the U.S. Army's Transforming in Contact 2.0 exercise at Fort Hood, Texas, where soldiers used the company's artificial intelligence platform for battlefield assessment during a two-week operational event.
The exercise involved soldiers from the 1st Cavalry Division and 36th Engineer Brigade testing Safe Pro's Object Threat Detection platform, which analyzes drone imagery to identify ground-based threats including anti-vehicle mines, anti-personnel mines, barbed wire and fortifications. The system integrated threat detection data with existing military planning tools including the Tactical Awareness Kit and General Dynamics Mission Systems' GeoSuite.
Safe Pro's Navigation, Observation & Detection Engine processed collected data to create terrain maps and digital surface models for route and mission planning by command personnel. The company's technology operated during both day and night exercises throughout the invitation-only event hosted by the U.S. Army's Application Laboratory.
"Our performance at TiC 2.0 has resulted in a significant expansion of our pipeline, driving multiple new capability requests from the Army personnel in attendance," said Dan Erdberg, chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group.
The company states its platform can identify more than 150 types of landmines and unexploded ordnance. Safe Pro reports its system has analyzed over 2.4 million images, identified more than 45,600 threats, and covered approximately 29,900 acres during deployments in Ukraine over nearly three years.
The Army's Transforming in Contact 2.0 program aims to rapidly test advanced technologies including drones, electronic warfare, and mission planning systems with soldiers in operational environments, according to the press release.
