Safe Pro lands AI demining contract in Ukraine

Safe Pro Group won a contract to provide its AI-powered landmine mapping platform to the Ukrainian Deminers Association under a United Nations Mine Action Service program. The deal expands use of Safe Pro’s drone-imagery tools in Ukraine, where contamination continues to slow recovery and agriculture.

Why it matters: - Ukraine’s demining crisis affects more than six million people living in or near heavily mined areas. - Safe Pro’s technology is aimed at speeding up humanitarian demining and improving safety for civilians and deminers. - The work also supports agricultural recovery in a country where contamination is tied to about $11 billion in annual agriculture losses. - The contract gives Safe Pro another foothold in Ukraine after a prior U.S. Department of State subcontract for a sponsored demining project.

What happened: - Safe Pro Group said Nov. 11, 2026, that it won a contract from the Ukrainian Deminers Association under a United Nations Mine Action Service program. - The agreement covers delivery of Safe Pro’s AI technology to support Ukraine’s national demining effort. - The initial project will use SpotlightAI, Safe Pro’s cloud-based image analysis and threat-mapping platform. - The project is designed to demonstrate unmanned aerial systems and remote sensing for inspecting contaminated territory.

The details: - SpotlightAI is built on Amazon Web Services and processes imagery from commercial off-the-shelf drones. - Safe Pro says the platform is part of its Ground Truth software ecosystem. - The system uses AI and machine learning trained on a large real-world drone imagery dataset to detect small threats and objects of interest in high-risk environments. - Safe Pro says its dataset includes more than 3.2 million drone images and more than 60,200 confirmed detections across 40,520-plus acres in Ukraine. - The goal of the project is to bring modern technology into quality management for humanitarian demining across Ukraine. - Dan Erdberg, chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group, said the company is honored to work with UDA and UNMAS to support humanitarian deminers. - UDA is the largest Ukrainian mine action operator, with more than eight years of experience and a top-three ranking by beneficiary coverage in Ukraine. - UNMAS coordinates UN mine action work and supports responses to mines, explosive remnants of war, and improvised explosive devices. - Safe Pro directed readers to more information on landmine and UXO detection results. - Safe Pro also pointed to its corporate website for additional company information.

Between the lines: - The contract signals continued demand for AI-enabled mapping tools in humanitarian demining, especially where survey areas are large and dangerous. - The emphasis on drones and remote sensing suggests Ukraine’s demining efforts are moving toward more automated, data-driven workflows. - The release frames the technology as both a safety tool and an economic recovery tool, not just a defense application.

What's next: - Safe Pro said the project will focus first on proving the practical use of its platform in contaminated areas. - The company also signaled it expects potential future use of its demining technology by government, military and humanitarian organizations. - Safe Pro will continue to market its AI, protective gear and drone-based services across defense, homeland security and humanitarian markets.

The bottom line: - Safe Pro is turning its drone-imagery AI into a live demining deployment in Ukraine, with UN backing and a clear path to broader adoption if the program works.
