Working in Ukraine with Leading Agricultural Producer to Restore War-Torn Farmland

AVENTURA, FL / November 7, 2024 / Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ:SPAI), a leader in artificial intelligence-driven drone imagery analysis, has reached a historic milestone in Ukraine: over 10,000 explosive devices detected using everyday drones and Artificial Intelligence (AI), paving the way for safer agricultural lands and enhanced food security worldwide. Safe Pro AI’s cutting-edge SpotlightAI™ platform, powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), is transforming drone based mine detection and land reclamation as Ukraine’s farmlands face unprecedented destruction due to the full-scale Russian invasion.

In collaboration with NIBULON Ltd., one of Ukraine’s top grain producers, Safe Pro is expanding its mission, using drones and AI to identify landmines for clearance, helping to revive Ukraine’s agricultural sector. Dubbed the “breadbasket of Europe,” Ukraine’s farming regions have faced staggering losses, estimated at over $50 billion. Safe Pro and NIBULON are committed to reversing this trend and reinvigorating Ukraine’s global food supplies.

“Ukraine’s agriculture has been severely impacted by war, amplifying food insecurity around the world,” said Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group Inc. “We’re honored to support Ukrainian agricultural leaders like NIBULON in their relentless efforts to restore production and reclaim their homeland’s farming legacy.”

Unprecedented Detection and Speed with SpotlightAI™

Safe Pro’s SpotlightAI™ system, a patent-pending innovation, has analyzed more than 840,000 drone images in Ukraine, pinpointing over 10,912 explosive remnants of war (ERW) across 3,887 hectares (over 9,604 acres). Operating at lightning speed on the AWS cloud, SpotlightAI™ analyzes each drone image in less than 0.2 seconds. In contrast, traditional human analysis can take several minutes per image-a process that could span decades if done manually.

According to World Bank Group assessments, it estimates an astounding 17 million hectares of Ukrainian land maybe contaminated with explosive ordnance. With AWS’s Hyper Scale capabilities, SpotlightAI™ is helping to tackle this challenge every day, revolutionizing the land reclamation process for safe farming and food production.

A Shared Mission with NIBULON

Through a Letter of Intent with NIBULON, Safe Pro seeks to assist NIBULON in reviving Ukraine’s agricultural sector. With over 76,000 hectares under management, NIBULON is a key player in Ukrainian agriculture, committed to restoring productivity to some of Europe’s most fertile lands. This collaboration signals a powerful synergy between cutting-edge AI technology and Ukraine’s resilient agricultural industry.

SpotlightAI™ is a hyper scalable, cloud-based ecosystem of tools for the analysis of imagery collected by Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) drones. It utilizes advanced machine learning (ML) models for small object detection and data reporting built on an extensive proprietary dataset capable of identifying 150+ types of land mines, UXO and explosive remnants of war. The SpotlightAI™ software ecosystem, supported by AWS’ hyper scalability, can process massive amounts of drone imagery to securely generate detailed, high resolution orthomosaic maps highlighting objects of interest. It can then plot the detection results on customizable, GPS-tagged, sub-centimeter-level, high resolution maps to provide a “bird’s-eye view” of the surveyed area, delivering enhanced situational awareness for planning clearing and land release efforts by local governments and humanitarian aid organizations.

The capabilities of SpotlightAI™ to rapidly process drone-based images to detect and geo-locate landmines and UXO in Ukraine was also featured in a Partner Success with AWS case study. A video introduction to SpotlightAI™ and its application as a tool for global demining, can be viewed here.
