- The company will participate in the U.S. Army’s CFWE-M 2026 modernization experiment at Fort Benning, where it will showcase its SpotlightAI(TM) platform.
- SpotlightAI detects explosive threats from drone imagery in near real-time. It has been trained on over 1.6 million drone images from Ukraine and has identified more than 28,000 threats to date.
- The company is working to integrate the system into the Army’s TAK ecosystem to deliver instant alerts to soldier-carried devices.
- Safe Pro leverages off-the-shelf drones combined with its patented AI to reduce the risk and time required for explosive threat detection.
Safe Pro Group (NASDAQ: SPAI), an emerging provider of AI-powered security and threat detection solutions, will demonstrate its drone-based artificial intelligence tools during the U.S. Army’s 2026 Concept Focused Warfighting Experiment Maneuver (“CFWE-M”), scheduled for March and April 2026 at Fort Benning, Georgia (https://ibn.fm/CfLw3).
The event, hosted by the Army Futures Command (“AFC”), is part of the service’s broader push to modernize small unit capabilities. Established in 2018, the AFC is charged with ensuring the Army remains competitive in a rapidly evolving military technology landscape. CFWE-M supports small unit modernization by providing Army collaboration opportunity to Cross Function Teams (“CFT”), Centers of Excellence (“CoE”) capability developers, Science and Technology (“S&T”) community, and industry representatives.
Safe Pro will use the opportunity to present its SpotlightAI(TM) system, a patented platform that rapidly processes drone imagery using AI and computer vision to detect and classify over 150 types of landmines and unexploded ordnance (“UXO”). According to Safe Pro’s announcement, the tool analyzes each image in less than a second, providing fast and accurate threat explosive identification capabilities.
The company’s selection for CFWE-M builds on nearly three years of real-world data gathered in Ukraine. There, Safe Pro has analyzed more than 1.66 million high-resolution drone images, identifying over 28,000 threats across more than 6,700 hectares. This real-world dataset has helped improve the accuracy and reliability of its detection algorithms.
“We are honored to be selected to participate in this important Army event to demonstrate how our battle-tested AI technology enhances modern force protection,” said Dan Erdberg, chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group. “As drone warfare continues to evolve, we are well positioned to provide the warfighter with novel algorithms producing rapid, actionable intelligence on the battlefield.”
Participation in the CFWE-MA is one of a number of efforts the company is taking as it seeks to penetrate the U.S. Department of Defense where it is working to integrate with the U.S. Army’s Android Tactical Assault Kit (“ATAK”) platform. ATAK is widely deployed across the military and allows soldiers to share geospatial and threat data through mobile devices. Safe Pro’s AI-powered alerts, generated from drone footage, can be relayed across this network, reaching soldiers and vehicle systems equipped with ATAK-connected hardware.
The Company’s solution uses commercially available, off-the-shelf drones, making the technology more accessible and cost-efficient than custom hardware-based systems. Once the drone imagery is collected, Safe Pro’s machine learning algorithms scan the data to detect threats in real time before feeding alerts into defense communications platforms like ATAK. Utilizing a cloud-based environment, powered by Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), Safe Pro’s system can create realistic 2D and interactive 3D maps highlighting objects of interest to provide valuable insights for mission planning and force protection.
Beyond military applications, Safe Pro says it is targeting law enforcement, humanitarian response, and homeland security markets. Its platforms, including AI-powered computer vision technology for situational awareness also include Airborne Response for drone-based services for critical infrastructure and law enforcement, that operates as part of a broader defense ecosystem that also includes ballistic protective gear under the Safe-Pro USA brand.
