Safe Pro Group (NASDAQ: SPAI), an emerging provider of AI-powered security and threat detection solutions, announced its addition to the Russell Microcap(R) Index, effective after market close on June 27, 2025. The inclusion comes as part of FTSE Russell’s annual reconstitution, which ranks companies based on objective measures of market capitalization and style factors (https://ibn.fm/Bjka9).

For Safe Pro, joining the Russell Microcap(R) Index marks a new phase of investor awareness, offering automatic inclusion in funds and indexes tracked by institutional investors and fund managers. The inclusion further highlights the company’s growing market presence and performance and provides overall increased visibility within the investor community.

Founded to address global security, defense, and humanitarian challenges, Safe Pro has built a portfolio combining artificial intelligence, machine learning, and drone-based technologies. Its flagship SpotlightAI(TM) software platform supports real-time detection of over 150 types of mines and unexploded ordnance (“UXO”), built on a dataset of more than 1.6 million battlefield images from conflict zones such as Ukraine. The technology has identified over 28,000 threats so far, demonstrating practical results in one of the world’s most mine-contaminated regions.

The company’s growth is aligned with a larger industry trend, as defense and humanitarian organizations increasingly demand scalable, AI-enabled systems. SpotlightAI(TM) works by analyzing imagery from commercial, off-the-shelf drones, providing a rapid, efficient alternative to traditional human-based threat identification. Safe Pro’s cloud-based ecosystem, built on Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), supports high-volume data processing as well as enabling local real-time analysis through its OnSite software.

Beyond software, Safe Pro operates the Airborne Response division, which delivers mission-critical drone services for industries such as telecom, utilities, insurance, and public safety. Airborne Response specializes in drone-as-a-first-responder programs and infrastructure inspections, supporting operations with AI-enhanced data analysis.

In addition, Safe-Pro USA, another division, produces advanced, high performance ballistic protective systems, including body armor and plates for law enforcement as well as explosive ordnance disposal (“EOD”) suits and bomb blankets, all designed to meet or exceed NATO and U.S. military standards. Because all of its protective solutions are made in the United States and it is a HUBZone-certified small business, Safe-Pro USA is eligible for U.S. government procurement programs and public safety grants, positioning the company to expand its footprint across federal, state, and international markets.

The global landmine and UXO threat continues to affect nearly 60 countries, imposing social and economic burdens from agriculture to critical infrastructure. According to World Bank estimates, Ukraine alone faces roughly $30 billion in demining costs following contamination of more than 17 million hectares of land. As the “Breadbasket of Europe,” Ukraine’s agricultural sector has suffered more than $50 billion in losses since the beginning of the large-scale invasion (Source: All-Ukrainian Agrarian Council, July 2024).

Through its portfolio of unique technologies, solutions and products, Safe Pro is well-placed to capture a portion of the estimated $15 billion global defense technology market, spanning AI-driven battlefield intelligence, drone services, and public safety applications.

Dan Erdberg, Safe Pro Group’s Chairman and CEO emphasized that the Russell Microcap(R) Index membership will support Safe Pro’s mission of advancing security technologies. “As AI and drone technologies rapidly transform the defense, security, and humanitarian sectors, our proprietary solutions are positioned to play a critical role,” he noted. “Being added to the Russell Microcap(R) Index marks a key milestone in expanding our reach with investors and highlights the broader relevance of our mission and technology. The inclusion into the FTSE Russell underscores our ongoing momentum and strategic growth.”
