Ukraine’s ongoing battle with landmines and unexploded ordnance has prompted a significant collaboration aimed at bolstering its demining efforts. Safe Pro Group Inc., a provider of AI-powered defense and security technologies, has secured a contract with the Ukrainian Deminers Association under a United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) program. The initiative is set to introduce American AI technology to enhance humanitarian demining operations across Ukraine, a country grappling with more than six million residents living in or near heavily mined areas.
The partnership will utilize Safe Pro Group’s SpotlightAI, a cloud-based AI image analysis and threat-mapping platform. This technology is designed to assist in identifying and mapping landmines and other explosive hazards in contaminated territories. By leveraging unmanned aerial systems, including drones, and remote sensing technologies, the project aims to improve the efficiency and quality management of demining processes. The integration of these advanced technologies is crucial not only for civilian safety but also for restoring access to agricultural land, which is vital for Ukraine’s economic recovery. The agricultural sector alone faces an estimated $11 billion in annual losses due to these hazards.
Safe Pro Group’s Chairman and CEO, Dan Erdberg, emphasized the importance of this partnership in providing humanitarian deminers with AI-based tools to protect civilians and enable communities to reclaim affected lands. This agreement follows another significant development where the company received a subcontract from the U.S. Department of State for its AI threat detection and mapping technology, further underscoring the growing interest in using advanced digital systems for mine action activities.
SpotlightAI operates on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is part of Safe Pro Group’s patented Ground Truth software ecosystem. The system employs machine learning algorithms to analyze imagery captured by Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) drones, identifying small and difficult-to-detect threats across extensive areas. Safe Pro Group’s extensive dataset, which includes more than 3.2 million drone images and over 60,200 confirmed detections gathered across more than 40,520 acres in Ukraine, highlights the potential impact of this technology in enhancing the effectiveness of humanitarian demining efforts.
As Ukraine continues to mitigate the dangers posed by landmines and unexploded ordnance, the introduction of advanced AI technologies offers a promising solution to improve safety and support the country’s broader economic and humanitarian goals.
