Norwegian People's Aid 18-Month Field Study from Ukraine Validates Safe Pro's SpotlightAI™ as High-ROI Solution for Government Demining Programs

World Bank Estimates $34.6 Billion Cost to Fully Demine Ukraine as 110 Million Landmines and Unexploded Ordnance Remain Buried Worldwide

Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ:SPAI) ("Safe Pro" or the "Company"), a leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered defense and security solutions and Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) today announced preliminary results from an 18-month field study validating the operational and financial impact of Safe Pro's SpotlightAI™ technology on humanitarian demining efforts in Ukraine.

Study Demonstrates 800+% Efficiency Gains in Demining Non-Technical Surveying (NTS)

At the GICHD event held in Luxembourg, Kyaw Lin Htut, Senior Advisor for Innovation at NPA and Dr. Jasper Baur, Lead Scientist and co-founder of the Company's Safe Pro AI subsidiary, jointly presented the study's preliminary findings in the "Remote Sensing in Survey: Challenges and Operational Efficiency" session.

The comprehensive study was conducted over an 18-month period and collected real-world usage and time reporting data from humanitarian demining personnel operating in Ukraine. The study measured the real-world operational efficiency impacts of AI-powered drone-based imagery analysis utilizing Safe Pro's SpotlightAITM computer vision technology in non-technical survey (NTS) operations, enabling government and humanitarian aid organizations to determine a more accurate return on investment (ROI) for their multimillion-dollar annual demining budgets. Data collected in the research demonstrated that the use of Safe Pro's SpotlightAITM can deliver an 800+% increase in productivity and greatly improved accuracy, speed and a significant reduction in costs, resulting in dramatic efficiency gains.

Key Findings

The Safe Pro/NPA study measured efficiencies and productivity of real-world operations in approximately 200 hectares (494 acres) -worth of surveying data, comparing NTS team performance utilizing SpotlightAITM against teams utilizing pre-existing methodologies and analyzing usage trends over an 18-month period.

Highlights of initial key findings on NTS productivity improvements include:

• 850% more confirmed hazardous areas (CHA) identified per hour per team when utilizing SpotlightAITM
• 550% more potentially hazardous items identified per hour per team when utilizing SpotlightAITM
• Surveys using SpotlightAITM were 570% more effective for defining Confirmed Hazardous Areas than without usage of SpotlightAITM over a 12-month period
• 300% faster survey speed per hour per team when utilizing SpotlightAITM
• Labor cost reduction of NTS by roughly 50% per hectare while improving accuracy and speed of survey
