Safe Pro Wins First US Army Prime Contract for Mine Detection on Anduril Ghost-X

Safe Pro Group won its first US Army prime contract, worth US$2.5 million, to run its autonomous threat detection software onboard Anduril Ghost-X drones. The software recognizes over 150 explosive threat types at the edge.

Safe Pro Group (Nasdaq: SPAI) has received its first prime contract from the US Army, valued at US$2.5 million, through the "Ground Threat Detection through Aerial Reconnaissance" Commercial Solutions Opening, announced on 10 November. The company's autonomous threat detection and mapping software runs onboard the Anduril Ghost-X drone, recognizing more than 150 types of explosive threats — including landmines, cluster munitions, and loitering FPV munitions — in real time at the tactical edge, with data streamed directly to the ATAK network and Anduril's Lattice system.

While small in monetary value, the contract is significant as a pattern: the Army selected computer vision software running at the edge from a startup, integrated onto another vendor's drone platform and into tactical networks — an architecture of cross-platform computer vision applications rather than a single-vendor, closed system.

Safe Pro's software analyzes drone imagery to detect and map surface-laid explosive remnants of war, a capability the company developed from ordnance detection work in conflict zones.
