Safe Pro revenue jumps 1,336% on AI threat detection contracts

Safe Pro Group reported Q2 revenue of $1.33 million, up 1,336% from $92,753 a year earlier on AI-powered threat detection and mapping contracts.

"The increasing number of contract awards for our patented AI-powered threat detection technology confirms a large and urgent unmet need for real-time, ground-truth situational awareness across the defense sector," Dan Erdberg, chairman and chief executive officer, said.

Sales in the company's AI subsidiary surged over 3,084% year over year, driven by U.S. Army-contracted purchases of its edge compute Navigation, Observation & Detection Engine (NODE) plus services and support. AI gross margin reached 75% in the quarter, reflecting the scalability of software and edge compute product lines. Safe Pro completed its board-approved stock repurchase program, buying 637,084 shares in the open market, including 474,630 during the first half of 2026.

Safe Pro received four government contracts in Q2, highlighted by NODE threat detection and mapping work supporting the U.S. Army and a Small Business Innovation Research award from the U.S. Air Force for AI dataset development in airfield operations. Safe Pro AI also won an award from a leading U.S. defense prime contractor to integrate explosive threat detection on next-generation autonomous unmanned ground vehicles. The company advanced its InFlight package, which processes real-time video onboard drones at the tactical edge and feeds live threat data into mission planning systems such as the U.S. Army's Tactical Assault Kit.

The company's SPOTD platform, deployed in Ukraine for nearly three years, has analyzed over 2.9 million images, identified more than 54,328 threats, and covered about 37,900 acres. SPOTD can detect more than 150 types of landmines and unexploded ordnance. Safe Pro's platform runs on Amazon Web Services infrastructure.

Total 2026 AI-related orders have surpassed $5 million in aggregate contract value, with eight contracts received through early August across the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, and multiple defense primes. Shares traded down 2.4% following the release. The record revenue and 75% AI gross margin show government adoption of edge compute threat detection is accelerating across aerial and ground-based platforms. Investors will watch Safe Pro's Innovation Day on Aug. 25 in Aventura, Florida, which features live drone operations and supporting materials filed with the SEC.
