Insights
Red Cat's Black Widow drones gain AI threat detection capabilities through Safe Pro partnership, significantly enhancing battlefield intelligence capabilities for military applications.
This strategic collaboration between Red Cat and Safe Pro Group represents a significant technological advancement for the Black Widow drone platform. By embedding Safe Pro's AI-powered Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) system, these drones will gain the capability to identify over 150 types of explosive threats in real-time, including landmines, anti-personnel mines, and unexploded ordnance.
The integration addresses a critical battlefield need: providing warfighters with enhanced situational awareness at the tactical edge. What makes this particularly valuable is the system's ability to process 4K video onboard the drone itself and deliver threat data directly to military platforms like the Army's Tactical Assault Kit. This edge-computing approach eliminates dependency on constant connectivity—a crucial advantage in contested environments.
Most impressive is the foundation of Safe Pro's technology—trained on 1.88 million drone images with over 34,200 threats identified across more than 20,000 acres in Ukraine. This real-world dataset provides validation that this isn't merely experimental technology but battle-tested in actual conflict zones.
The partnership aligns with growing defense priorities for autonomous systems that can reduce risk to personnel while enhancing intelligence capabilities. As militaries worldwide increasingly invest in small unmanned systems for reconnaissance and threat detection, Red Cat is positioning the Black Widow as a comprehensive solution for force protection and battlefield awareness, potentially opening significant opportunities with U.S. and allied defense customers.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Sept. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RCAT) ("Red Cat'' or the "Company"), a U.S.-based provider of advanced, all-domain robotic solutions for defense and national security, today announced a strategic collaboration with Safe Pro Group Inc. (Nasdaq: SPAI) (Safe Pro), a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-computer vision technologies.
Through this collaboration, Safe Pro’s patented AI-powered image analysis technology will be embedded into Red Cat’s Black Widow drones, enabling U.S. and allied ground personnel to rapidly identify and locate more than 150 types of explosive threats including landmines, anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions, and unexploded ordnance (UXO) in real-time.
The integration will allow Safe Pro’s Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) system to process real-time 4k video onboard the Black Widow at the tactical edge and deliver live threat data directly to military situational awareness platforms such as the U.S. Army’s Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) software ecosystem, enhancing and accelerating decision making critical to mission success.
The Black Widow will also integrate with Safe Pro’s new SPOTD Navigation, Observation and Detection Engine (NODE), a powerful, edge-based solution designed to process, map and share mission critical information collected by drones. Supporting rapid deployment at the edge, the SPOTD NODE “kit” enables end users to collect real-time visual data, receive threat alerts, and utilize that imagery to create 2D and 3D interactive maps and plot hazard detections. This capability provides enhanced situational awareness, supporting a wide array of ground missions even in connectivity-denied environments.
Powering Safe Pro’s SPOTD technology is one of the world’s largest real-world landmine and UXO datasets consisting of high-resolution imagery and GPS-tagged geospatial data encompassing over 1.88 million drone images analyzed to date, and 34,200+ threats identified across 8,119 hectares (20,062 acres) in Ukraine.
“The Black Widow continues to distinguish itself as a leading sUAS platform for defense and security, ideally suited to supporting the evolving needs of the U.S. Army and its global allies. By incorporating field-proven innovations such as Safe Pro’s unique AI-powered threat detection technology, we continue to redefine the future of force protection and battlefield awareness,” said Jeff Thompson, Red Cat CEO.
“As demonstrated in Ukraine, the battlefield is dramatically evolving, establishing a critical need to provide today’s warfighter with access to enhanced, real-time situational awareness. By harnessing the power of the Black Widow with Safe Pro’s battle-tested threat detection technology, we have created a platform that can uniquely support the needs of the U.S. Army for real-time battlefield intelligence, and we look forward to bringing this capability to our warfighters,” added Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group Inc.
