Key findings from the study include productivity improvements exceeding 800% and the detection of more than 550% additional unexploded ordnance (UXO) and explosive remnants of war (ERW) per hectare compared to traditional survey methodologies. Collectively, results underscore the potential for materially lower costs, faster land release, accelerated infrastructure redevelopment and the economic benefits from expanded agricultural and rare earth and mineral production.

The Kyiv conference is organized by SAME in partnership with the , PGR Consulting, and American University Kyiv. The panel will convene senior representatives from Ukrainian government institutions, international organizations, industry, and civil society to address security and infrastructure challenges critical to Ukraine’s long-term recovery.

The event takes place against the backdrop of Ukraine’s estimated $800 billion reconstruction requirement, as cited by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with anticipated funding potentially flowing through vehicles such as the and other multilateral and private-sector initiatives.

Over the past three years, Safe Pro has maintained an on-the-ground presence in Ukraine, working closely with the Ministry of Defense through SSTS and collaborating with multiple international humanitarian organizations. The Company has executed several memoranda of understanding with , and and has established relationships with stakeholders expected to play central roles in Ukraine’s post-conflict recovery, including agriculture, transportation, and natural resource development.

“As international work continues on developing a framework for peace in Ukraine and as planning advances for Ukraine’s recovery, the ability to rapidly and cost-effectively clear contaminated land is a critical first step to rebuilding infrastructure, restoring agricultural production, and attracting investment,” said Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group Inc. “We are honored to participate in this forum with decision-makers who are shaping Ukraine’s future and to demonstrate how our AI, computer vision, and drone-enabled technologies can materially accelerate demining and reconstruction at national scale.”

Safe Pro’s Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (“SPOTD”) AI platform analyzes imagery and video captured by commercially available drones to automatically detect and classify explosive threats and other objects of interest. The platform converts raw data into high-resolution two-dimensional and three-dimensional geospatial outputs that can be rapidly shared to support operational decision-making in defense, security, and humanitarian missions. SPOTD is capable of identifying more than 150 types of landmines and UXO, enabling scalable situational awareness across large, high-risk areas.

SPOTD has been deployed in active operational environments in Ukraine for nearly three years and is supported by a growing proprietary dataset comprising over 2.26 million analyzed images, more than 41,400 identified threats, and coverage of approximately 28,000 acres. The Company believes this real-world validation and data advantage meaningfully differentiates its platform and positions Safe Pro to address expanding global demand for AI-enabled threat detection and post-conflict recovery solutions.
