Safe Pro Group to Demonstrate AI Threat Detection on Red Cat Drones for U.S. Army Exercises in 2026

Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) announced it will unveil its new InFlight embeddable, real-time AI-powered threat detection package integrated into Red Cat Holdings’ (NASDAQ: RCAT) Black Widow drones during U.S. Army exercises scheduled for the third quarter of 2026. The demonstration marks a significant step in providing the Army with advanced capabilities for detecting explosive threats on the battlefield.

Embedded directly onboard the Black Widow platform, which was selected under the U.S. Army’s Short Range Reconnaissance Program of Record, InFlight enables real-time detection and location of more than 150 explosive threats, including landmines, cluster munitions and ambush FPV drones. The system delivers live threat data into the Army’s Tactical Assault Kit software ecosystem, enhancing battlefield situational awareness and tactical decision-making.

This integration is important because it brings AI-driven threat detection directly onto a drone platform already approved for military use, potentially reducing the time between detection and response. The ability to identify a wide range of explosive threats in real time can improve soldier safety and mission effectiveness. The use of the Tactical Assault Kit, which is already fielded by the Army, means that threat data can be seamlessly integrated into existing command and control systems.

Safe Pro Group is a mission-driven technology company delivering AI-enabled security and defense solutions. Through platforms like SPOTD, Safe Pro provides advanced situational awareness tools for defense, humanitarian, and homeland security applications globally. The company is a leading provider of artificial intelligence solutions specializing in drone imagery processing, leveraging commercially available off-the-shelf drones with its proprietary machine learning and computer vision technology to enable rapid identification of explosive threats.

Built on a cloud-based ecosystem and powered by Amazon Web Services, Safe Pro Group’s scalable platform targets multiple markets, including commercial, government, law enforcement, and humanitarian sectors. The company’s Safe Pro AI software, Safe-Pro USA protective gear, and Airborne Response drone-based services work in synergy to deliver safety and operational efficiency.
