U.S. Army’s Concept Focused Warfighting Experiment Maneuver (CFWE-M) program seeks to drive Army modernization to address the complexities of future warfare
AVENTURA, Fla., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Safe Pro Group Inc. (Nasdaq: SPAI) (“Safe Pro” or the “Company”), a leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered defense and security solutions, today announced that it has been selected by the U.S. Army to participate in the Army Futures Command’s (AFC) Concept Focused Warfighting Experiment (CFWE) Maneuver (CFWE-M) 2026 event being held at Fort Benning, Georgia in March through April 2026.
Army Futures Command, established in 2018, helps ensure the Army and its soldiers remain at the forefront of technological innovation and warfighting ability. The CFWE-M is a live and constructive simulation experiment held annually by the U.S. Army and serves as the primary venue for experimentation focusing on the small unit level. CFWE-M supports small unit modernization by providing Cross Function Teams (CFT), Centers of Excellence (CoE) capability developers, Science and Technology (S&T) community, and industry an opportunity to collaborate with the Army.
At CFWE, Safe Pro team members plan to conduct demonstrations of its patented, AI-powered computer vision technologies including its SpotlightAI™ AI-powered drone-based imagery analysis platform. The Company’s image analysis platform can detect and identify over 150 types of landmines and unexploded ordnance in a fraction of a second per image, rapidly delivering mission-critical, battlefield situational awareness. Safe Pro’s technology is built on more than 2.5 years of successful operations conducted in Ukraine where its real-world datasets include high-resolution drone imagery and GPS-tagged geospatial data encompassing over 1.66 million drone images analyzed to date, and 28,000+ threats identified across 6,705 hectares.
“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. As drone warfare continues to evolve, we are well positioned to provide the warfighter with novel algorithms producing rapid, actionable intelligence on the battlefield,” said Dan Erdberg, chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group Inc.
Safe Pro is utilizing its real-world dataset to develop new, real-time force protection solutions for soldiers by integrating its technology into the TAK software ecosystem, which includes the U.S. Army’s ATAK (Android Tactical Assault Kit) platform. Integration into ATAK can allow detections of small explosive threats instantly identified in drone-based imagery by the Company’s AI technology to be quickly shared across potentially hundreds of thousands of soldier-carried and vehicle-mounted, wireless-connected devices widely utilized by the U.S. Armed Forces.
