Study Demonstrates 800+% Efficiency Gains in Demining Non-Technical Surveying (NTS)

At the GICHD event held in Luxembourg, Kyaw Lin Htut, Senior Advisor for Innovation at NPA and Dr. Jasper Baur, Lead Scientist and co-founder of the Company’s Safe Pro AI subsidiary, jointly presented the study’s preliminary findings in the “Remote Sensing in Survey: Challenges and Operational Efficiency” session.

The comprehensive study was conducted over an 18-month period and collected real-world usage and time reporting data from humanitarian demining personnel operating in Ukraine. The study measured the real-world operational efficiency impacts of AI-powered drone-based imagery analysis utilizing Safe Pro’s SpotlightAI^TM computer vision technology in non-technical survey (NTS) operations, enabling government and humanitarian aid organizations to determine a more accurate return on investment (ROI) for their multimillion-dollar annual demining budgets. Data collected in the research demonstrated that the use of Safe Pro’s SpotlightAI^TM can deliver an 800+% increase in productivity and greatly improved accuracy, speed and a significant reduction in costs, resulting in dramatic efficiency gains.

Key Findings

The Safe Pro/NPA study measured efficiencies and productivity of real-world operations in approximately 200 hectares (494 acres) -worth of surveying data, comparing NTS team performance utilizing SpotlightAI^TM against teams utilizing pre-existing methodologies and analyzing usage trends over an 18-month period.

Highlights of initial key findings on NTS productivity improvements include:

• 850% more confirmed hazardous areas (CHA) identified per hour per team when utilizing SpotlightAI^TM
• 550% more potentially hazardous items identified per hour per team when utilizing SpotlightAI^TM
• Surveys using SpotlightAI^TM were 570% more effective for defining Confirmed Hazardous Areas than without usage of SpotlightAI^TM over a 12-month period
• 300% faster survey speed per hour per team when utilizing SpotlightAI^TM
• Labor cost reduction of NTS by roughly 50% per hectare while improving accuracy and speed of survey

“The comprehensive data presented by NPA confirms the dramatic impact SpotlightAI^TM can have helping the nearly 60 countries contaminated with UXO return their land to productivity. Our novel approach leverages the power of AI and drones to protect lives and provide hope to millions who are denied access to their land. For years we have been working to maximize the ROI on the millions of dollars currently being invested into demining programs around the world by governments and humanitarian donors to restore land to productive use. We continue to work tirelessly alongside NPA and their on-the-ground teams to address the massive landmine and UXO crisis facing Ukraine and other countries around the globe,” said Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group.

Commenting on the results, Kyaw Lin Htut, added, “It was an honor to present with Jasper at the GICHD Innovation 2025 conference on NPA’s nearly 2-year collaboration with Safe Pro AI in Ukraine. The preliminary findings of our study suggest an outsized impact in increased person-hour efficiency of Non-Technical Survey when using SpotlightAI^TM to augment our imagery analysis of minefields in Ukraine.”

Safe Pro’s patented AI leverages years of real-world data to instantly detect small, hard-to-find explosive threats in aerial imagery and video. The technology converts raw data into rapidly shareable, high-resolution 2D and 3D maps, providing a novel and scalable approach to intelligence. Built on over 2.1 million drone images and utilized in demining operations in Ukraine, Safe Pro’s AI image processing technology has already delivered over 38,000 detections and mapped over 10,900 hectares (26,923 acres). To view a video on Safe Pro’s AI capability in the field, click here.
