In a critical move to boost Ukraine’s humanitarian demining efforts, Safe Pro Group Inc. has secured a pivotal contract from the Ukrainian Deminers Association under a United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) Program. This agreement is set to introduce advanced American AI technology into Ukraine’s demining operations, aiming to enhance the national capacity for identifying and mapping landmines and explosive hazards across contaminated regions.
Ukraine is grappling with significant challenges from landmines and unexploded ordnance, posing risks to more than six million people residing in or near heavily mined areas. The crisis also severely impacts agricultural activities, with an estimated $11 billion in annual agricultural business affected. Humanitarian demining is thus deemed essential for ensuring civilian safety, restoring agricultural land, and aiding the country’s economic recovery.
Through this partnership, Safe Pro Group Inc. will collaborate with the Ukrainian Deminers Association, supported by UNMAS, to integrate their advanced technologies into the demining process. The project will utilize SpotlightAI, a cloud-based artificial intelligence image analysis and threat-mapping platform. This system will demonstrate how unmanned aerial systems, such as drones, and remote sensing technologies can enhance the inspection of contaminated sites and improve the quality management of demining operations.
Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group Inc., emphasized that the partnership would equip humanitarian deminers with AI-based tools to protect civilians and enable communities to reclaim access to affected lands. This agreement follows a recent subcontract from the U.S. Department of State awarded to Safe Pro Group for its patented AI threat detection and mapping technology in support of demining projects in Ukraine. These advancements signify the growing interest in leveraging advanced technologies to enhance the safety and efficiency of mine action activities.
SpotlightAI operates on Amazon Web Services and is part of Safe Pro Group’s patented Ground Truth software ecosystem. Its machine learning algorithms analyze imagery captured by Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) drones to identify small and hard-to-detect threats over vast areas. With a dataset comprising over 3.2 million drone images and more than 60,200 confirmed detections across 40,520 acres in Ukraine, the technology deployment could significantly contribute to effective humanitarian demining by supporting threat identification, mapping, and operational oversight.
