Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) announced it has been invited to train and equip soldiers with its patented SPOTD Edge AI battlefield threat detection system during a U.S. Army Force-on-Force combat training exercise scheduled for the second quarter of 2026. The exercise, one of the Army’s most realistic combat training environments, will allow Safe Pro to demonstrate rapid AI-powered explosive threat identification and enhanced battlefield mapping capabilities in simulated live combat conditions.
The company plans to showcase its NODE-X tactical edge intelligence platform, a ruggedized, backpack-sized system designed to analyze drone imagery in the field without internet or cloud connectivity. Powered by Safe Pro’s patented SPOTD technology and trained on a dataset of more than 2.75 million drone images, the platform can detect more than 150 types of explosive threats while providing 3D terrain mapping, orthomosaic generation and automated route planning to support battlefield decision-making.
This selection underscores the U.S. Army’s growing reliance on artificial intelligence to enhance soldier safety and operational efficiency. By enabling real-time threat detection in disconnected environments, the technology could reduce casualties and speed up mission planning. For the defense industry, this contract signals increasing demand for edge AI systems that operate independently of cloud infrastructure, a critical capability in contested electronic warfare scenarios.
Safe Pro Group is a mission-driven technology company delivering AI-enabled security and defense solutions. Through platforms like SPOTD, the company provides advanced situational awareness tools for defense, humanitarian, and homeland security applications globally. The company’s cloud-based ecosystem is powered by Amazon Web Services, and its scalable platform targets multiple markets, including commercial, government, law enforcement, and humanitarian sectors.
