Safe Pro Group Wins AFWERX Contract to Develop AI Dataset for Airfield Safety

Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) has been selected by AFWERX for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to develop a new artificial intelligence dataset using images of foreign object debris and damage (FOD) commonly found on U.S. Air Force and civilian airfields. The project is intended to support Department of the Air Force initiatives while expanding the company’s AI-powered computer vision technology into defense and commercial airfield operations.

The award broadens the potential applications of Safe Pro’s patented SPOTD (Safe Pro Object Threat Detection) platform, which was originally developed for battlefield and post-conflict landmine detection. The contract follows recent interest from the U.S. Army, which has invited Safe Pro to provide operational support during an upcoming airfield exercise. This development signals growing demand for AI-driven safety solutions in military and civilian aviation contexts.

Safe Pro Group showcases the latest application of its AI-powered threat detection technology, demonstrating how its real-time computer vision platform can support rapid inspection of airfields and runways. Designed to autonomously identify landmines, unexploded ordnance (UXO) and other potential hazards, the technology enhances situational awareness and helps improve safety across defense and critical infrastructure operations. By leveraging commercially available off-the-shelf drones and cloud-based ecosystems powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), the platform offers a scalable solution for multiple markets.

The implications of this contract are significant for both the defense industry and commercial aviation. For the U.S. Air Force, the AI dataset could streamline airfield inspections, reducing the risk of FOD-related incidents that cause costly damage to aircraft and endanger personnel. For Safe Pro Group, the contract validates the versatility of its SPOTD platform, opening doors to new revenue streams in the aviation safety sector. The company’s technology, already proven in humanitarian demining, now has a clear path to address a critical need in military and civilian airfields.

Safe Pro Group Inc. is a mission-driven technology company delivering AI-enabled security and defense solutions. Through cutting-edge platforms like SPOTD, Safe Pro provides advanced situational awareness tools for defense, humanitarian, and homeland security applications globally. The company’s scalable platform targets multiple markets, including commercial, government, law enforcement, and humanitarian sectors.
