Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) announced that its Florida-based ballistics protection unit, Safe-Pro USA LLC, will exhibit at the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show) 2026, scheduled for January 20–23, 2026, at the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum in Las Vegas. The company will showcase its expansion of Made in the USA, ultra-lightweight and ultra-thin hard armor portfolio available to government agencies through a U.S. General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract.
The exhibition will feature next-generation armor plates undergoing U.S. Department of Justice National Institute of Justice 0101.07 certification testing, representing the latest standard in ballistic protection. This certification process is critical for ensuring body armor meets rigorous safety and performance requirements for law enforcement and military applications. The company will also debut its new RAPID series patrol-focused ballistic shield, designed specifically for increased mobility and rapid response in confined or high-risk environments where traditional shields may be cumbersome.
This announcement is significant as it demonstrates ongoing innovation in personal protective equipment for first responders and security personnel. The development of lighter, thinner armor plates that maintain or exceed protection standards could lead to improved officer safety and operational effectiveness. The RAPID series ballistic shield addresses tactical needs in modern law enforcement scenarios where rapid deployment and maneuverability are essential. These advancements come at a time when agencies nationwide are evaluating equipment upgrades to better protect personnel in increasingly complex threat environments.
The company's broader technology portfolio includes AI-enabled security and defense solutions through platforms like SPOTD, which provides advanced situational awareness tools for defense, humanitarian, and homeland security applications globally. Safe Pro Group leverages commercially available drones with proprietary machine learning and computer vision technology to enable rapid identification of explosives threats, providing a safer alternative to traditional human-based analysis methods. The company's scalable platform, built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), targets commercial, government, law enforcement and humanitarian sectors where its AI software, protective gear and drone-based services work in synergy.
