SpotlightAI™ dramatically accelerates mine detection over 70 hectares of farmland, marking a milestone in Ukraine’s agricultural recovery and global food security.

April 2025 — UkraineSafe Pro Group Inc. (Nasdaq: SPAI) (“Safe Pro” or the “Company”), a leading provider of AI-powered security and drone technology solutions, announced the successful completion of its largest drone-based agricultural survey in partnership with NIBULON Ltd., Ukraine’s top grain exporter and agricultural enterprise. The groundbreaking project, powered by Safe Pro’s proprietary SpotlightAI™ platform hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), surveyed 70 hectares of explosive-contaminated farmland with unprecedented speed and precision.

🚀 Key Achievements from the AI-Powered Survey:

  • 40,309 aerial images analyzed using SpotlightAI™
  • 77+ explosive threats detected with confirmed accuracy
  • 366x faster analysis than human-only methods (3 minutes per image vs. sub-second AI detection)
  • 5.5 hours total processing time, compared to 252 workdays using manual review
  • 70 hectares surveyed in less than 8 hours—equivalent to more than 52 NFL fields

This achievement represents one of the largest AI-driven agricultural demining projects globally, positioning Safe Pro Group at the forefront of the global landmine detection and demining technology market.


🔍 Transforming Agricultural Recovery and Demining Through AI

The collaboration between Safe Pro Group and NIBULON is part of a multi-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) focused on restoring Ukraine’s mine-contaminated farmland. Ukraine’s agricultural land, particularly along active and former frontlines, has been heavily damaged by explosive remnants of war (ERW). According to NASA Harvest, between 5.2 and 6.9 million acres of farmland were abandoned in 2023 due to explosive threats—leading to an estimated $2 billion in lost crop value and the loss of food supply for over 25 million people globally.

Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy estimates over 138,503 km² (larger than the U.S. state of North Carolina) of land may be contaminated by landmines and UXOs. Traditional survey methods would take more than a decade and cost $30+ billion (Source: World Bank, Feb 2025).


⚙️ How SpotlightAI™ Works

Safe Pro’s SpotlightAI™ platform leverages advanced machine learning (ML) for small object detection and explosive identification. Trained on a proprietary dataset, the platform can recognize 150+ landmine and UXO types, delivering real-time results through:

  • Hyper-scalable AWS Cloud infrastructure
  • High-resolution orthomosaic maps
  • GPS-tagged 2D and interactive 3D maps
  • Sub-centimeter accuracy

To date, over 1.29 million drone images have been processed in Ukraine, identifying 23,286+ explosive remnants across 5,338 hectares (13,190 acres) of land.

“The results of this groundbreaking survey with NIBULON demonstrate the transformational potential of SpotlightAI™ to modernize humanitarian demining, agricultural recovery, and post-conflict rebuilding,” said Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group. “We are proud to support Ukraine’s recovery with technology that saves time, reduces risk, and enables critical industries like agriculture and mining to rebound more quickly.”


🌍 Broader Impact: A Path Toward Global Food Security

As Ukraine plays a crucial role in the global food supply, restoring contaminated farmland is essential not just for the nation’s economy but for international food stability. NIBULON works with 4,500+ Ukrainian producers and exports to 76 countries, with logistics supported by its rail network and 83 self-built ships.

With AI-driven surveying, Safe Pro is proving that land restoration can be done faster, safer, and at lower cost, potentially cutting the time required to clear dangerous farmland from decades to months.
