New Agreement Strengthens Relationship with Prime Contractor that Previously Awarded Company
AVENTURA, Fla., April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Safe Pro Group Inc. (Nasdaq: SPAI) (“Safe Pro” or the “Company”), a developer of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled defense, security, and situational awareness solutions, today announced that it has entered into a Master Teaming agreement (the “Agreement”) with a U.S. government prime defense contractor (the “Prime”) to pursue and deliver AI-powered air and ground autonomy solutions in support of the U.S. Government.
Under the Agreement, Safe Pro and the Prime will collaborate on the development, integration, and deployment of next-generation battlefield intelligence solutions that combine AI-powered threat detection with autonomous air and ground platforms. The parties intend to leverage Safe Pro’s patented Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) AI platform, NODE-X edge compute systems, and computer vision technologies for use with drones and autonomous ground vehicles to deliver real-time situational awareness and force protection at the tactical edge. The teaming arrangement is expected to support the pursuit of additional program opportunities where Safe Pro’s AI capabilities can be integrated into larger Prime-led autonomous platforms.
The new Agreement expands an existing contract under which the Company rapidly executed on a
“Through this new teaming agreement, we have an opportunity to significantly expand our relationship with a leading U.S. defense prime and build upon our shared commitment to harness AI and autonomous technologies to deliver actionable battlefield intelligence to the U.S. Army and allied forces,” said Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group Inc. “The modern battlefield is rapidly connecting drones and unmanned ground and sea vehicles, creating a pressing need to collect and analyze real-world data at the edge. By pairing our SPOTD AI platform and NODE-X edge-processing systems with our Prime partner’s platforms and mission systems, we believe we can deliver differentiated, scalable solutions for use in some of the most demanding operational environments.”
Safe Pro’s SPOTD AI platform analyzes imagery and video from virtually any drone to automatically detect and classify explosive threats and other objects of interest. The platform converts raw video into high resolution 2D and 3D geospatial models that can be rapidly shared across users and systems to support operational decision making in defense, security, and humanitarian missions. SPOTD is capable of identifying more than 150 types of landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO), enabling scalable situational awareness across large, high-risk areas and supporting both battlefield and demining operations.
Safe Pro’s edge-based NODE systems, built on its SPOTD technology and designed for deployment in communication constrained or denied environments, have been demonstrated with the U.S. Army as part of the Transforming in Contact 2.0 initiative and other exercises. The Company believes the new teaming agreement will expand the potential use of its AI capabilities across additional U.S. Army initiatives focused on autonomy, rapid breach, and next-generation force protection.
