Safe Pro Unveils AI-Powered Threat Detection and Mapping Algorithms for GPS Denied Drone Operations for U.S. Army Exercises

Key Terms

gps denied environments technical

Areas where GPS signals are blocked, degraded, or intentionally jammed so devices cannot determine location from satellites; examples include deep urban canyons, indoor facilities, underground, dense foliage, or contested military zones. For investors, these environments matter because companies that depend on satellite navigation—such as logistics, drones, autonomous vehicles, and mapping services—need alternative technologies or safeguards, and the ability to operate reliably without GPS can be a competitive advantage or a hidden cost, like carrying a backup compass when your phone loses signal.

aws cloud technical

AWS Cloud is Amazon’s collection of internet-based computing services that lets businesses rent computing power, storage and software tools instead of buying and maintaining their own servers. Like renting flexible office space rather than owning a building, using AWS can help companies scale quickly, cut upfront costs and shift spending into operational pay-as-you-go charges; outages, price changes or heavy dependence on a single cloud provider can meaningfully affect a company’s costs, growth and risk profile for investors.

2d/3d models technical

Digital two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) models are visual representations used to show products, spaces or data — 2D models are flat images or drawings, while 3D models are shaped objects you can view from different angles or simulate in motion. Investors pay attention because these virtual prototypes speed design, testing and marketing, lower the need for costly physical samples, help estimate production cost and demand, and signal whether a product idea is likely to succeed before large capital is committed.

unmanned ground vehicles (ugvs) technical

Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) are motorized robots or vehicles that operate on land without a person onboard, controlled remotely or programmed to act on their own — think of them as advanced, autonomous versions of remote‑control cars for real‑world tasks. Investors watch UGVs because they can cut labor costs, open new markets (security, logistics, agriculture, mining), drive recurring revenue from software and services, and carry regulatory and deployment risks that affect company value.

intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (isr) technical

Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) involves gathering information about surroundings, activities, or objects to understand what is happening around them. It’s like using cameras, sensors, or other tools to monitor and collect data, helping decision-makers see potential risks or opportunities. For investors, ISR insights can influence strategic choices by providing a clearer picture of market conditions, emerging trends, or potential threats.

computer vision technical

Computer vision is technology that gives machines the ability to 'see' and make sense of images or video, turning pixels into usable information like object counts, measurements, or activity patterns. For investors, it matters because it enables automation, cost reduction and new product features across industries—from quality checks on factory lines to retail analytics—so companies that adopt effective computer vision can boost efficiency, reduce labor needs and create competitive advantages.

Latest Generation of Safe Pro’s AI Technology to be Presented at U.S. Army Exercise at Fort Hood, Texas

AVENTURA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Safe Pro Group Inc. (Nasdaq: SPAI) (“Safe Pro” or the “Company”), a developer of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled defense and security solutions, today announced that as a result of customer requests, it has now deployed upgraded AI algorithms to its patented Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) technology for drone operations in GPS denied environments. The newly enhanced SPOTD capabilities will be prominently featured at the upcoming U.S. Army 2026 Concept Focused Warfighter Experiment (CFWE) technology demonstration taking place at Fort Hood, Texas.

Operating on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud or at the Edge, SPOTD is Safe Pro’s patented rapid battlefield image analysis platform designed to identify and map small explosive threats such as landmines and ambush drones detected in videos collected from virtually any drone. The ability for SPOTD to rapidly detect threats and create 2D/3D models from drones flying in GPS-denied environments was developed after real-world exercises in Ukraine at the request of end users. The integration of these new algorithms further enhances the value of SPOTD as a novel situational awareness tool for use in a wide array of military reconnaissance and planning operations.

“The enhancements now deployed in SPOTD bring significant operational advantages to our customers, making it an indispensable tool for government end users seeking actionable intelligence in the harshest electronic warfare-contested environments. Building upon rapidly evolving Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) and on-the-ground feedback of our users, we believe SPOTD will continue to redefine the role that AI can play in providing actionable intelligence on the modern battlefield,” said Dan Erdberg, Chairman of Safe Pro Group Inc.

Some of the SPOTD enhancements include:

• Ability to Process Any Drone Video Data: Turning video clips into 2D & 3D models with AI-trained explosive threat detections
• Enhanced Operational Robustness: Operating capability in GPS and GPS/GNSS denied environments
• Terrain Modeling: Threat and terrain mapping in support of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) route planning
• Rapid Mapping Only Mode: Mapping for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and missions that do not require AI-powered threat detections
• Accelerated Processing: Up to 10x reduction in processing time powered by Safe Pro’s proprietary geospatial AI algorithms

Powering the Company’s SPOTD technology is Safe Pro’s unique real-world datasets include high-resolution drone imagery and GPS-tagged geospatial data encompassing over 2.2 million drone images analyzed to date, and 41,400+ threats identified across 11,400 hectares (over 28,000 acres). Whether deployed on the edge in real-time or leveraging AWS on the cloud, Safe Pro’s AI-powered computer vision technology is designed to provide enhanced situational awareness of ground personnel conducting military or humanitarian missions.
