Safe Pro Partners with Ondas Holdings and Unusual Machines for Drone Industry Collaboration

Safe Pro Group has signed MoUs with drone industry leaders Ondas Holdings and Unusual Machines. The holding company focuses on security and protection solutions, including AI/ML software technology for analyzing aerial imagery. Through its Safe Pro AI unit, it has developed an ecosystem for object detection and data analysis. Its Safe-Pro USA unit manufactures bullet and blast resistant protection equipment for military, law enforcement, and others. Its Airborne Response Corp. unit provides contracted aerial platform-based technology services using drones.

Safe Pro Group Inc. (SPAI), a leading provider of AI-powered defense and security solutions, has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with Ondas Holdings Inc. (ONDS) and Unusual Machines Inc. (UMAC) [1]. These agreements aim to accelerate the adoption of drone-based AI technology in both U.S. defense and global commercial markets.

Under the MOUs, Safe Pro Group will collaborate with Ondas and Unusual Machines to integrate its patented AI-powered drone imagery analysis and computer vision technologies into their respective hardware and software offerings. This includes Safe Pro’s Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) technology, designed to rapidly detect over 150 different kinds of small, hard-to-spot threats such as landmines, anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions, and unexploded ordnance [2].

The collaboration with Ondas will focus on enhancing the company’s ecosystem of autonomous commercial, defense, and security drone platforms with AI-powered small object and threat detection capabilities. This is expected to support organizations responsible for protecting sensitive locations, populations, and critical infrastructure. The agreement also includes expanded marketing efforts targeting the U.S. Department of Defense, NATO partners, and a deeper footprint in Ukraine, where Safe Pro’s technology has already been battle-tested [1].

Unusual Machines will integrate Safe Pro’s SPOTD threat detection data with its FPV (first-person view) drone offerings, enhancing the visual imagery provided to enterprise and government end users. This integration will support rapid battlefield analysis and large-scale commercial and humanitarian demining operations [2].

Safe Pro’s SPOTD technology, powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), can scale globally, offering solutions for rapid battlefield analysis and large-scale commercial and humanitarian demining operations. The technology has been tested in Ukraine, where over 1.78 million drone images have been analyzed, and 31,600+ threats have been identified across 7,819 hectares (19,321 acres) [1].

Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group, commented on the collaboration, stating, “This marks a powerful step forward as we join forces with Ondas and Unusual Machines—two of the most dynamic innovators shaping America’s drone future. Together, we see tremendous opportunities both here in the U.S. and across the globe to accelerate the deployment of next-generation, AI-powered drone solutions. By combining our strengths, we are not just advancing technology—we’re empowering customers to accomplish their most critical missions while safeguarding civilian lives” [1].

Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas Holdings, added, “Safe Pro’s AI-powered computer vision technology has already proven its capabilities on the battlefield of Ukraine, an accomplishment that clearly demonstrates its potential to meet the needs of demanding customers in the military and commercial markets. We believe that Safe Pro’s technology has the potential to greatly contribute to Ondas’ growing ecosystem of unique drone-based solutions and we look forward to working closely with their team in the weeks and months ahead” [1].

Dr. Allan Evans, Chairman and CEO of Unusual Machines, noted, “Our goal is to see the American drone ecosystem emerge as a global powerhouse. Collaboration amongst companies like ours and Safe Pro is a key step toward us collectively achieving that goal. In this instance, integrating cameras with their patented AI-powered drone imagery analysis technology makes an ideal solution for removing landmines in Ukraine or helping to protect our soldiers from explosive threats on the battlefield. Collectively, we can start to export this technology and bring much-needed U.S.-produced drone and AI technologies to the global market” [1].

These agreements follow strategic investments made by Ondas and Unusual Machines into Safe Pro Group on August 21, 2025 [1].
