Ukraine is making strides in its efforts to address the persistent threat of landmines and unexploded ordnance with the aid of advanced American technology. Safe Pro Group Inc., a company specializing in artificial intelligence-powered defense and security technologies, has secured a contract with the Ukrainian Deminers Association (UDA) under a program led by the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS). This collaboration aims to enhance Ukraine’s humanitarian demining operations, which are crucial for civilian safety and the revival of the country’s agricultural sector.
Landmines and unexploded ordnance remain a significant challenge in Ukraine, affecting over six million people living in or near heavily contaminated areas. The presence of these explosive hazards also hampers agricultural activities, with an estimated $11 billion annual impact on the sector. In response, the Ukrainian Deminers Association will work alongside Safe Pro Group, supported by UNMAS, to integrate cutting-edge technologies into their demining initiatives.
The agreement will see the deployment of SpotlightAI, Safe Pro Group’s proprietary cloud-based artificial intelligence platform for image analysis and threat mapping. This system will utilize unmanned aerial systems, including drones, and remote sensing technologies to inspect contaminated sites and enhance quality management in demining operations. Safe Pro Group Chairman and CEO Dan Erdberg emphasized the partnership’s role in providing AI tools to protect civilians and help communities reclaim affected lands.
SpotlightAI operates on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is part of Safe Pro Group’s patented Ground Truth software ecosystem. The platform’s machine learning algorithms are designed to analyze imagery from Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) drones, enabling the identification of small and challenging-to-detect threats across vast areas. The company’s dataset includes over 3.2 million drone images and more than 60,200 confirmed detections collected from over 40,520 acres in Ukraine.
The new contract follows a recent subcontract awarded to Safe Pro Group by the U.S. Department of State for its AI threat detection and mapping technology, further highlighting the growing interest in leveraging digital systems for safer and more efficient mine action activities. By supporting threat identification, mapping, and operational oversight, the deployment of this technology is expected to significantly contribute to the effectiveness of humanitarian demining in Ukraine.
