Safe Pro Group Inc. is harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and drone technology to address critical environmental and security challenges, especially in war-torn Ukraine. The company’s innovative AI ecosystem for imagery analysis has been instrumental in identifying and mapping unexploded landmines and ordnance, significantly enhancing the safety and efficacy of demining operations.
In a recent feature by Grist Magazine, Safe Pro’s contributions are highlighted as part of a broader effort to mitigate the devastating impact of the ongoing conflict. The technology enables rapid detection of over 150 types of landmines and threats, facilitating safer removal processes and reducing the risk to humanitarian workers and local communities.
The application of this technology extends beyond demining. It plays a vital role in environmental preservation, helping to prevent wildfires caused by landmine-triggered fires, and supports Ukraine’s efforts to recover its natural landscapes. To date, Safe Pro’s system has surveyed over 16,336 acres and detected more than 27,450 threats in Ukraine, covering an area comparable to Manhattan.
Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro, emphasized the importance of this technology: ‘The physical and economic damage caused by war does not end when bombs stop falling. The destructive legacy of UXO and landmines endures, posing ongoing threats to lives and ecosystems.’
The company’s platform deploys geospatial data and machine learning to analyze vast and inaccessible terrains remotely. Its AI-powered imagery analysis can identify and classify threats quickly, providing critical situational awareness for demining efforts and environmental conservation.
This technology is scalable and can be deployed in real-time or through cloud services, broadening its reach to support large-scale operations. Safe Pro’s datasets include high-resolution drone images and GPS-tagged geospatial data, with over 1.62 million images analyzed to date. The company’s threat detection spans over 6,614 hectares—an area nearly as large as Manhattan.
As the conflict continues, Safe Pro remains committed to expanding its impact, helping to create safer environments and support post-conflict recovery. The integration of AI and drone technology is transforming traditional approaches to landmine removal and wildfire prevention, offering hope for a safer future.
