Safe Pro Group Inc. has secured a contract to enhance Ukraine’s demining efforts using artificial intelligence technology. The contract, awarded by the Ukrainian Deminers Association under a United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) program, aims to introduce advanced AI capabilities to aid in identifying and mapping landmines and explosive hazards across the country.
Ukraine faces a significant landmine crisis, with over six million people living in or near heavily contaminated areas. This situation not only poses a threat to civilian safety but also impacts agricultural activities, with an estimated $11 billion in annual agricultural business affected. The introduction of new technology is seen as essential for protecting civilians, restoring access to farmland, and supporting economic recovery.
The collaboration will utilize Safe Pro Group’s SpotlightAI, a cloud-based platform that employs machine learning algorithms to analyze drone-captured imagery for threat detection and mapping. This technology, operating on Amazon Web Services (AWS), will assist demining operations by providing detailed threat identification and mapping, potentially improving the safety and efficiency of these activities.
Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group, emphasized the partnership’s role in offering AI-based tools to humanitarian deminers, ultimately helping civilians regain access to mined lands. This contract follows a recent subcontract from the U.S. Department of State, further highlighting the growing interest in using digital systems to enhance mine action activities.
SpotlightAI, part of Safe Pro Group’s Ground Truth software ecosystem, has already collected over 3.2 million drone images and more than 60,200 confirmed detections across 40,520 acres in Ukraine. This extensive dataset is expected to contribute significantly to the country’s demining efforts by improving operational oversight and threat management.
