Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI), a leader in AI-powered defense and security solutions, and Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA) have announced preliminary results from an 18-month field study validating the impact of Safe Pro’s SpotlightAI technology on humanitarian demining operations in Ukraine. Presented at the 2025 GICHD Innovation Conference, the study showed that SpotlightAI improved survey productivity by more than 800%, detected 550% more unexploded ordnance per hectare, and cut survey costs by roughly 50%. These findings underscore how Safe Pro’s AI-augmented drone imagery and computer vision can transform global demining efforts by enhancing accuracy, speed, and cost efficiency.
The study, conducted in collaboration with NPA, a leading humanitarian demining organization, provides compelling evidence that artificial intelligence can significantly accelerate the clearance of landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) in conflict-affected areas. According to the press release, SpotlightAI leverages commercially available off-the-shelf drones and proprietary machine learning and computer vision technology to enable rapid identification of explosives threats. This approach offers a much safer and more efficient alternative to traditional human-based analysis methods.
Safe Pro Group’s scalable platform, built on a cloud-based ecosystem and powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), targets multiple markets including commercial, government, law enforcement, and humanitarian sectors. The company’s AI software, combined with its Safe-Pro USA protective gear and Airborne Response drone-based services, aims to deliver safety and operational efficiency in synergy. The findings from the Ukraine study are expected to drive adoption of AI-driven demining solutions worldwide, potentially saving lives and reducing the long-term economic burden of landmine contamination.

The announcement comes at a critical time when humanitarian demining efforts in Ukraine are urgently needed to ensure safe return of displaced populations and enable reconstruction. The study’s results highlight the potential for AI to revolutionize not only demining but also broader defense and security applications. Safe Pro Group continues to invest in research and development to further enhance its technology and expand its reach.
