Safe Pro Group to Demonstrate AI-Powered Threat Detection on Red Cat Drones for U.S. Army

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 announcement marks a significant step in providing the military with advanced capabilities to detect and locate 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. These include 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.

The integration of Safe Pro’s AI technology into the Black Widow drones represents a convergence of two cutting-edge defense technologies. Red Cat’s Black Widow is a small, portable drone designed for reconnaissance, while Safe Pro’s InFlight system leverages machine learning and computer vision to identify threats autonomously. This combination could give soldiers a critical edge by reducing the time needed to identify and respond to dangers.

Safe Pro Group is a mission-driven technology company delivering AI-enabled security and defense solutions. Through platforms like SPOTD, the company provides advanced situational awareness tools for defense, humanitarian, and homeland security applications globally. Safe Pro specializes in AI solutions for drone imagery processing, using commercially available off-the-shelf drones with its proprietary machine learning and computer vision technology to enable rapid identification of explosive threats. This approach offers a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional human-based analysis methods.

The company’s scalable platform is built on a cloud-based ecosystem powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It targets multiple markets, including commercial, government, law enforcement, and humanitarian sectors. Safe Pro’s software, protective gear, and drone-based services work in synergy to deliver safety and operational efficiency.

The U.S. Army exercises in Q3 2026 will be a key test for the InFlight system. Success could lead to broader adoption across military units, potentially transforming how troops detect and avoid explosive hazards. The ability to identify threats in real-time from the air reduces risk to personnel and speeds up decision-making. As asymmetric threats like improvised explosive devices and drone swarms become more common, such technology is increasingly vital.
