Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) announced on November 10, 2026, the award of a prime U.S. Government contract valued at $2.5 million under a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) for “Ground Threat Detection through Aerial Reconnaissance.”
The program embeds Safe Pro’s patented “Ground Truth Air” Super Intelligence (SI) threat-detection and mapping software directly onto the onboard processing hardware of Anduril Industries’ Ghost-X small uncrewed aerial system (sUAS). Designed to enhance M1 Abrams tank survivability and armored maneuver reconnaissance, the system provides real-time, edge-processed identification and geolocation of more than 150 types of explosive threats, anti-vehicle/anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions, and loitering FPV attack drones. The resulting telemetry streams directly into U.S. Army tactical battle networks, including the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) and Anduril’s Lattice operating system.

Host Aerial Platform (Anduril Ghost-X)
💥 Platform Classification: Small Uncrewed Aerial System (sUAS) / Medium Range Reconnaissance (MRR) program selection
💥 Platform Architecture: Single-rotor vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) modular airframe with extended endurance (up to 75 minutes) and 25 km operational range
💥 Payload Capability: Multi-payload rails supporting electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor gimbals and high-capacity onboard AI edge-compute modules
TIMES OF DEFENCE ASSESSMENT
The integration of Safe Pro’s computer-vision software onto Anduril’s Ghost-X platform highlights critical shifts in armored force protection and tactical reconnaissance:
1. **Solving the Anti-Access Minefield and Ambush Vulnerability for Heavy Armor**: Modern high-intensity combat has demonstrated that heavy armored vehicles—including M1 Abrams tanks—are highly vulnerable to hidden anti-tank minefields and loitering FPV drone ambushes. Deploying an automated aerial scout equipped with AI trained on operational combat data from Ukraine allows tank crews to detect and bypass concealed threats before entering engagement funnels.
2. **Mitigating RF Bandwidth Bottlenecks via Edge Compute**: Transmitting high-definition, raw video feeds back to ground stations for centralized cloud analysis strains tactical radio networks and exposes drones to direction-finding EW interdiction. Running the “Ground Truth Air” algorithm directly on the Ghost-X’s onboard processor compresses data requirements—transmitting only low-bandwidth target coordinates and bounding box metadata directly into ATAK and Lattice.
3. **Institutionalization of Ukrainian Combat Data in U.S. Procurement**: Safe Pro’s deployment of algorithms trained on 3.2+ million combat images from Ukraine validates a rapid pipeline for transitioning commercial AI into formal military programs of record. Utilizing Commercial Solutions Openings (CSO) enables the Department of War to rapidly integrate specialized commercial software onto established defense platforms like the Ghost-X.
