Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) has successfully demonstrated its AI-powered drone imagery analysis system to the Philippine Army, marking a significant expansion of its technology into the Asia-Pacific region. The demonstration took place at Camp Aquino in Tarlac, where over 30 Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technicians were trained on how drone imagery analysis can improve the detection of landmines, unexploded ordnance (UXO), and cluster munitions. The event showcased SPAI's patented Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) technology, which can identify over 150 types of hard-to-detect threats.
The SPOTD system leverages proprietary machine learning and computer vision technology, running on a cloud-based ecosystem powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It has been trained on unique real-world datasets, analyzing nearly 2 million drone images and detecting over 34,000 threats in Ukraine. This extensive data set gives the AI a distinct advantage in recognizing dangerous items that are often hidden or partially buried. By using commercially available off-the-shelf drones, the system offers a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional human-based analysis methods.
The collaboration with the Philippine Army highlights Safe Pro Group's growing role in advancing AI-driven demining efforts across the Asia-Pacific region. The company is a mission-driven technology provider delivering AI-enabled security and defense solutions for commercial, government, law enforcement, and humanitarian sectors. Its platforms like SPOTD provide advanced situational awareness tools that can be deployed globally for defense and humanitarian applications.
According to the company, the demonstration was a crucial step in educating military personnel on the benefits of integrating AI into their operations. The EOD technicians learned how to analyze drone imagery more effectively, potentially reducing the time and risk associated with manual threat detection. This training aligns with broader international efforts to clear landmines and unexploded ordnance that pose ongoing dangers to civilians and military forces alike.
Safe Pro Group's technology is part of a larger portfolio that includes Safe-Pro USA protective gear and Airborne Response drone-based services. The company aims to create synergy between these offerings to deliver comprehensive safety and operational efficiency.

The expansion into the Asia-Pacific region is a strategic move for Safe Pro Group, as many countries in the area continue to deal with the aftermath of conflicts involving landmines and UXO. By providing advanced detection capabilities, the company hopes to accelerate demining operations and reduce the human toll of these hidden dangers. The success of the Philippine Army demonstration could pave the way for further adoption of SPOTD technology in other nations within the region.
