Washington Post reporting highlights 90-day Pentagon review and expanded use parameters
Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) is positioned to address heightened operational and humanitarian risks tied to land mines and unexploded ordnance as U.S. defense policy enters a new review phase. According to reporting by Joyce Sohyun Lee of the Washington Post, a Dec. 2 Pentagon memo signed by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reverses Biden-era restrictions on antipersonnel land mines and directs the U.S. Department of War to recommend a revised policy within 90 days amid what officials describe as one of the most dangerous global security environments in U.S. history.
The Post reports that the interim policy removes geographic limitations on antipersonnel land mine use and allows “remotely delivered” systems, provided they incorporate compliant self-destruction and self-deactivation mechanisms. The memo also states that the revised framework is intended to allow the United States to remain a global leader in unexploded ordnance clearing assistance and conventional weapons destruction, underscoring continued demand for technologies that reduce long-term explosive hazards and civilian risk even as policy parameters shift.
Against this backdrop, Safe Pro Group’s AI-enabled explosive threat detection platform aligns with both force protection and humanitarian clearance priorities. The company’s patented SpotlightAI system uses AI-powered drone imagery to detect more than 150 types of land mines and unexploded ordnance in real time and has been battle-tested through nearly three years of operational use in Ukraine. During that period, the platform has processed more than 2.26 million battlefield images and identified over 41,400 explosive threats, positioning Safe Pro to support expanded detection and clearance needs as U.S. defense policy evolves.
