Safe Pro Group Inc. has secured a $2.5 million U.S. Army prime contract to deploy its super intelligence-enabled threat detection and mapping technology aboard Anduril Industries' Ghost-X drone platform, the company announced. The award, made under a Commercial Solutions Opening for Ground Threat Detection through Aerial Reconnaissance, is the company's first U.S. Army prime contract and places its patented Ground Truth Air software directly into a drone platform the Army has already selected for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions under its Medium Range Reconnaissance program.
The contract's stated purpose is the protection of Army Abrams tanks. The system is designed to identify and geolocate more than 150 types of explosive threats in real time, including landmines, cluster munitions and ambush first-person-view drones. The technology processes live video onboard the drone and transmits threat intelligence directly into Army networks, including ATAK and Anduril's Lattice platform. That onboard processing is significant: it moves detection from post-mission analysis to near-instantaneous warning for crews operating in contested terrain.
The software's machine learning algorithms are trained on a dataset containing more than 3.2 million drone images and over 60,200 confirmed detections collected across more than 40,520 acres in Ukraine. That provenance matters for readers and investors assessing the maturity of the technology, because it ties the algorithms to real-world conflict data rather than laboratory conditions. Safe Pro said it plans to collaborate with Anduril to deliver the technology, supporting improved battlefield situational awareness and threat detection capabilities.
The implications extend beyond a single contract. For the Army, pairing an AI detection layer with an already-selected reconnaissance drone offers a path to faster sensor-to-shooter awareness for armored formations, a priority as inexpensive aerial threats and scattered munitions complicate maneuver. For the defense industry, the award illustrates how the service is buying commercial software through nontraditional contracting vehicles and integrating it onto third-party hardware, a model that could favor smaller, specialized vendors.

For investors, the contract is a commercial validation milestone rather than a large revenue event, but it establishes a reference customer in the U.S. Army and a working relationship with Anduril, both of which could matter as the Pentagon expands autonomous sensing programs. The company describes itself as a mission-driven technology company delivering AI-enabled security and defense solutions, with platforms including SPOTD for situational awareness in defense, humanitarian and homeland security applications. Its drone imagery processing runs on a cloud-based ecosystem powered by Amazon Web Services, targeting commercial, government, law enforcement and humanitarian markets.
