BOSTON, MA — December 18, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Ondas Holdings Inc. and Safe Pro Group Inc. announced the successful completion of a joint pilot program in the Middle East that evaluated the use of AI to identify explosive hazards in support of humanitarian demining and reconstruction efforts.
The eight-week pilot in Israel demonstrated the strong performance of Safe Pro’s advanced AI algorithms in analyzing high-resolution aerial imagery to identify landmines, unexploded ordnance (UXO), improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and other hazardous indicators across complex terrain. Safe Pro’s image-analysis engine, the Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) system, rapidly processed survey data from multiple areas of interest and consistently identified credible threats with accuracy and speed far beyond traditional manual review.
Across more than 22 acres of surveyed land, the AI system identified nearly 150 hazardous items and indicators, including approximately 60 confirmed landmines and UXO.
4M Defense designed and executed the aerial survey missions and evaluated how SPOTD’s outputs could be incorporated into its land-intelligence platform as part of an integrated solution. Fusing AI-generated detections with additional sensor and terrain layers provided complete combat zone mapping which enables customers to convert raw imagery into a more complete operational picture-revealing hazard patterns, understanding terrain complexity, and assessing scalability across broader regions.
“Ondas is proud to partner with Safe Pro to demonstrate the strength of their advanced AI tools in addressing one of the most urgent humanitarian and operational challenges in the Middle East,” said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas. “Safe Pro’s technology delivered impressive performance in identifying explosive hazards, and we see significant opportunity to integrate these capabilities within 4M Defense’s mission-planning and land-intelligence platform. Together, we can offer customers a more comprehensive and data-driven approach to support large-scale demining and reconstruction efforts across a sizable and expanding end market. This collaboration between one of our OAS companies and Safe Pro, in which we have made a strategic investment, delivers unparalleled solutions and exemplifies Ondas’ technology leadership and scale across the autonomous systems ecosystem.”
“The presence of landmines and explosive remnants of war across the Middle East poses a serious and ongoing humanitarian challenge. This pilot reinforced the strength of our SPOTD AI technology in rapidly identifying hazardous items across difficult terrain and demonstrated how these insights can support more effective planning for demining and reconstruction efforts,” said Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group. “By partnering with Ondas and 4M Defense, we see a clear path to delivering an integrated solution that combines our AI-driven threat detection with 4M’s land-intelligence and mission-planning capabilities. Together, we are positioned to meet the needs of a large and growing market that requires faster, safer, and more scalable methods for assessing and reclaiming critical land.”
Through the terrain data and imagery analyzed in this pilot, Safe Pro is expanding its SPOTD dataset to better characterize the types of bombs, cluster munitions, and UXO encountered across the Middle East. Safe Pro’s battle-tested AI is built on years of real-world data and is designed to detect small, hard-to-find explosive threats in aerial imagery and video. To date, SPOTD has delivered over 41,400 confirmed threat detections and supported the mapping of more than 11,423 hectares (28,200 acres), demonstrating its scalability and operational relevance for government and humanitarian missions.
4M Defense is engaging government stakeholders as demand grows for advanced land-intelligence solutions that can support large-scale demining and reconstruction efforts.
