Safe Pro Wins US Army Prime Contract, Pairs AI Threat Detection with Anduril Ghost-X Drone
The $2.5 million award covers real-time detection and geolocation of more than 150 threat types using computer vision onboard the Ghost-X, integrated with ATAK and Lattice, drawing on a 3.2-million-image drone dataset.
Safe Pro Group (Nasdaq: SPAI) has been awarded a US$2.5 million prime contract by the US Army for Ground Threat Detection through Aerial Reconnaissance, the company announced on 10 November. The contract teams the company with Anduril to run its computer vision threat detection onboard the Ghost-X drone.
The system detects and geolocates more than 150 threat types — landmines, cluster munitions and FPV ambush positions among them — in real time, feeding results into the ATAK situational awareness network and Anduril's Lattice platform. The company says the models draw on a proprietary dataset of more than 3.2 million drone images and over 60,200 confirmed detections collected in Ukraine; performance claims are vendor-reported.
The deal illustrates a widening defense-market pattern: specialized computer vision vendors entering prime contracts through a narrow capability rather than a full platform, and edge AI inference integrated into third-party command-and-control ecosystems rather than proprietary stacks.
