Safe Pro Group Inc. (Nasdaq: SPAI) has been awarded a $1.3 million subcontract from a U.S. Defense Prime Contractor to integrate its AI-based threat detection technology into U.S. Army autonomous Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), according to a company statement.

Under the subcontract, Safe Pro will integrate and test its computer vision and machine learning pipeline onboard the autonomous UGVs for real-time detection of explosive threats during on-the-move operations.

The work is powered by Safe Pro's patented SPOTD (Safe Pro Object Threat Detection) technology, which the company says can identify more than 150 types of explosive threats, including landmines, cluster munitions, and unexploded ordnance. The system is trained on a dataset the company describes as including more than 2.8 million drone images and over 50,368 confirmed detections collected across more than 35,000 acres in Ukraine.

The Aventura, Florida-based company said the new UGV capability, which it calls RoadSight, extends its existing drone-based imagery platform to ground vehicle platforms.
