AVENTURA, Fla., Oct. 08, 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 been awarded a new U.S. Government subcontract and has launched SPAI Ground Truth (“GT”), an integrated software suite combining air and ground AI algorithms to provide next-generation situational awareness of the battlefield.

SPAI Ground Truth consists of five (5) AI solutions designed to address the evolving autonomous battlefield, fusing sensor data collected from multiple sources including air and ground drones (unmanned ground vehicles or UGVs) to share real-time threat information on small objects such as anti-personnel cluster munitions and ambush drones.

“The new autonomous battlefield requires more than a drone or a UGV; operators need a reliable picture of the swiftly changing ground layer in front of them where perched ambush drones and IEDs could be hiding,” said Dan Erdberg, chairman and chief executive officer of Safe Pro Group Inc. “SPAI Ground Truth is the result of over four years of operational usage and data collection including more than 3.1 million real-world drone images from Ukraine, designed to enable soldiers to true the ground with confidence.”

SPAI Ground Truth consists of:

Component	Deployment	Capability
GT Cloud	AWS-hosted, scalable processing	AI threat analysis and 2D/3D mapping
GT Air	Embedded on Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) (drones)	Real-time in-flight AI threat detection
GT Road	Ground vehicles and UGVs	Real-time AI detection of anti-vehicle mines while in motion
GT Field	Laptops and tablets	Real-time and post-flight AI detection in drone imagery and video
GT NODE	Portable edge-compute server	Fully offline post-flight AI detection and 2D/3D interactive threat mapping on the edge

The GT suite can identify more than 150 types of explosive threats and objects of interest, including landmines, cluster munitions, unexploded ordnance (UXO) and ambush drones. It produces 3D models, orthomosaics, digital surface models, and vegetation-height and terrain-slope layers with detected threats mapped onto them for maneuver operations. Outputs are designed to be shared over existing tactical networks including the ATAK/TAK ecosystem.

Additionally, Safe Pro was awarded an initial order from a new U.S. government prime contractor customer for its patented AI software in support of AI autonomy and threat detection capabilities. Additional terms of the contract were not provided.
