Safe Pro Group Inc. Showcases Advanced AI-Powered Drone Imagery Technology at SHOT Show 2025
Safe Pro Group, a prominent provider of cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, has made significant strides in revolutionizing the defense and safety sectors with its advanced AI-powered drone imagery analysis technology. The company recently highlighted its innovative solutions at the SHOT Show 2025, an event known for bringing together industry leaders and innovators in the firearms, ballistic, and defense technology sectors. Safe Pro’s technology, which includes its AI-driven SpotlightAI™ software, was prominently featured in a video interview produced by Talking Guns Media (TGM), a specialized new media company focused on firearms and ballistic technologies.
AI-Powered Drone Imagery: A Game-Changer for Defense and Public Safety
At SHOT Show 2025, Safe Pro presented its latest technological advancements, which integrate AI-powered drone imagery analysis into the field of ballistic protection and public safety. The company introduced its SpotlightAI™ technology, a proprietary solution designed to address the growing demand for advanced, automated drone-based image analysis for landmine detection, unexploded ordnance (UXO) identification, and other critical applications.
SpotlightAI™ utilizes advanced machine learning (ML) models built on a vast proprietary dataset to perform small object detection and data reporting. With the ability to process large volumes of drone imagery, the system is capable of rapidly detecting over 150 types of landmines and UXO. This capability offers significant advantages in terms of speed and precision, which are crucial for military, law enforcement, and humanitarian missions.
One of the most notable aspects of SpotlightAI™ is its ability to operate both locally and through the hyper-scalability of the AWS Cloud. This flexibility allows the system to process vast amounts of high-resolution drone imagery, generating detailed, interactive 2D and 3D maps that provide enhanced situational awareness. These maps can highlight objects of interest, such as unexploded ordnance, and can be used by local governments, humanitarian aid organizations, and defense agencies to plan clearing efforts and land release operations.
The SHOT Show 2025 Experience: Showcasing Innovation and Engagement
Safe Pro’s presence at SHOT Show 2025 was marked by enthusiastic engagement with military, law enforcement, and public safety professionals. The event served as an ideal platform for showcasing the company’s new ballistic protective solutions, such as the ultra-lightweight and ultra-thin “305 PRO” hard armor plate. The 305 PRO body armor plate is designed to provide advanced protection without sacrificing comfort or mobility, making it an ideal solution for law enforcement and military personnel facing increasingly high-powered threats.
Safe Pro’s team at the SHOT Show received an overwhelmingly positive response to the 305 PRO armor plate, reinforcing the growing demand for cost-effective, high-performance, American-made ballistic protection products. This feedback is particularly significant in light of the increasing sophistication of threats faced by law enforcement and public safety personnel, who require reliable and effective protection.
In addition to the 305 PRO body armor, Safe Pro also introduced its SpotlightAI™ technology, which garnered significant attention from attendees interested in leveraging AI and drone technology for enhanced situational awareness and threat detection. The ability to quickly and accurately identify potential hazards, such as landmines and UXO, can save lives and significantly improve operational efficiency in challenging environments.
Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group Inc., commented on the success of the event, stating, “The positive response to our ‘305 PRO’ body armor plate from SHOT Show attendees was overwhelming, confirming the large unmet need in the marketplace for our cost-effective, high-performance, and fully American-made ballistic protection products. Based on the feedback gathered at this event, and ongoing discussions with law enforcement and public safety personnel, it is clear that these organizations are increasingly facing high-power threats, and that is why we remain committed to ensuring they have access to advanced, high-performance American-made ballistic protection solutions.”

SpotlightAI™: A Revolutionary Tool for Humanitarian and Defense Efforts
One of the most groundbreaking aspects of Safe Pro’s offerings is its SpotlightAI™ technology, which is revolutionizing the way drones are used for imagery analysis. SpotlightAI™ has already made a significant impact in conflict zones, particularly in Ukraine, where the software has analyzed more than 921,471 drone images. In doing so, it has successfully identified over 16,540 explosive remnants of war (ERW) across 4,219 hectares (over 10,424 acres). This capability has been instrumental in helping military and humanitarian organizations clear landmines and UXO, preventing further casualties and enabling the safe return of land to local communities.
The speed at which SpotlightAI™ operates is another key advantage. The system processes each drone image in less than 0.2 seconds, a remarkable achievement considering that traditional human analysis can take several minutes per image. This efficiency not only speeds up the detection process but also reduces the risk of human error and increases the overall effectiveness of landmine and UXO clearance operations.
In addition to its landmine detection capabilities, SpotlightAI™ also provides a unique advantage in mapping and data visualization. The software generates high-resolution orthomosaic maps that can be customized to show detection results in 2D and 3D formats. These maps offer a “bird’s-eye view” of surveyed areas, helping to improve situational awareness and facilitate more effective planning of clearance efforts. The customizable, GPS-tagged maps can also be used to track the progress of operations and ensure that all hazards are accounted for.
Safe Pro Group Inc. continues to push the boundaries of innovation in the defense and safety sectors with its AI-powered drone imagery analysis technology. The company’s SpotlightAI™ software represents a significant leap forward in the use of AI and machine learning for landmine and UXO detection, providing military, law enforcement, and humanitarian organizations with a powerful tool to enhance situational awareness and improve operational efficiency.
The positive response at SHOT Show 2025 is a testament to the growing demand for Safe Pro’s advanced, American-made solutions. As threats to public safety and security evolve, Safe Pro remains committed to providing cutting-edge products that offer unparalleled protection and support to those who serve and protect. Through its ongoing innovation and commitment to excellence, Safe Pro Group Inc. is positioning itself as a leader in the defense and safety technology industries.
