A US government contractor has selected Safe Pro to supply ballistic and explosive ordnance disposal protective gear along with AI technology in support of US missions in the Indo-Pacific.
Deliveries are planned for the third quarter of this year.
As part of the contract, the company will field-test SpotlightAI, an AI-powered drone system that uses computer vision to identify landmines and unexploded ordnance.
Building on previous experience in Ukraine, the company has begun planning to expand operations to support the US Department of Defense’s Indo-Pacific Command, USINDOPACOM.
The command’s area of responsibility covers more than 100 million square miles (259 million square kilometers), about 52 percent of the Earth’s surface.
It involves key US military branches, including the Pacific Fleet, Pacific Air Forces, Army Pacific, Marine Forces Pacific, and Space Forces Indo-Pacific.
AI-Powered Imagery Analysis
SpotlightAI can detect and identify over 150 types of landmines and unexploded ordnance in fractions of a second per image.
Combined with Safe Pro’s Object Threat Detection technology, SpotlightAI operates in real-time on local devices or through Amazon Web Services, supporting fast battlefield assessments.
The system is built on a dataset of over 1.66 million high-resolution drone images with GPS-tagged geospatial data, including 28,000 identified threats across 6,705 hectares (16,570 acres) in Ukraine.
This data supports the development of real-time force protection tools by integrating the system into the US Army’s software ecosystem, including the Android Tactical Assault Kit.
Once integrated, explosive threat detections from drone imagery can be instantly shared across hundreds of thousands of wireless-connected devices used by US troops and vehicles, enhancing battlefield awareness and coordination.
