Safe Pro Group Inc. has reported significant operational progress across its artificial intelligence, aerial services and ballistic-protection divisions following more than $20 million in new strategic investments. The funding included a $14 million equity infusion led by Ondas Holdings, providing capital to accelerate development of the company's security and defense technologies. This substantial financial backing enables the company to scale its innovative security solutions across multiple applications and markets.
The company highlighted accelerated development of its SpotlightAI threat-detection platform, which represents a core component of its AI-enabled security solutions. This advancement comes alongside new onboard AI integration with Red Cat's Black Widow drone, enhancing the capabilities of unmanned aerial systems for security applications. The integration allows for real-time threat analysis during drone operations, potentially transforming how security teams monitor and respond to potential risks in various operational environments.
Safe Pro also reported rapid prototyping of its SPOTD NODE field-processing solution, designed to provide advanced situational awareness tools for defense, humanitarian and homeland security applications globally. The company'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 where its Safe Pro AI software, Safe-Pro USA protective gear and Airborne Response drone-based services work in synergy to provide comprehensive security solutions.
Operational expansion includes expanded Skydio drone operations for a Florida utility, demonstrating the practical application of Safe Pro's aerial services in critical infrastructure protection. The company also noted progress toward NIJ and ISO certification for its lightweight armor products, which would validate the performance standards of its ballistic-protection offerings and enhance their market credibility. Recent research conducted with humanitarian partners showed significant gains in survey accuracy and efficiency for demining operations, supporting broader adoption of Safe Pro's AI-enabled defense and security technologies.
The company's proprietary machine learning and computer vision technology enables rapid identification of explosives threats using commercially available drones, providing a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional human-based analysis methods.
