Safe Pro Group’s AI subsidiary increased second-quarter sales by more than 3,084% year-over-year, driven by U.S. Army-contracted sales of its AI-powered NODE edge-computing system and related services, while the subsidiary generated a 75% gross margin. Company-wide Q2 revenue increased 1,336% to $1.33 million as Safe Pro received four government contracts during the period.
Total revenue reached $1,332,074 compared with $92,753 in Q2 2025. The growth marks an early transition from technology development toward government-backed commercialization of Safe Pro’s AI threat-detection systems.
The company’s AI business generated a 75% gross margin during the quarter. Safe Pro characterized the result as evidence of the potential scalability of its software and edge-compute products as government deployments expand.
Safe Pro received four government contracts during Q2, including work involving its NODE edge-based threat detection and mapping technology in support of the U.S. Army. The company also received a U.S. Air Force Small Business Innovation Research award for development of an AI dataset intended for airfield operations.
NODE is designed to bring AI processing closer to the battlefield rather than requiring all imagery to be processed through centralized cloud infrastructure. The system contributed to the sharp increase in Safe Pro AI sales during the quarter through product, services and support revenue.
The company is also moving its technology onto autonomous systems. Safe Pro AI received an award from a U.S. defense prime contractor to integrate real-time explosive-threat detection technology into next-generation unmanned ground vehicles for battlefield operations.
Its new InFlight package extends that approach into the air. InFlight is designed to process real-time video directly onboard a drone and send live threat information into mission-planning environments such as the U.S. Army’s Tactical Assault Kit.
Safe Pro’s broader SPOTD platform can automatically identify more than 150 categories of landmines and unexploded ordnance from drone imagery. The system has been deployed in Ukraine for nearly three years and is supported by a proprietary dataset containing more than 2.9 million analyzed images, 54,328 identified threats and approximately 37,900 acres of coverage.
The company continued returning capital while funding the defense-AI expansion. Safe Pro completed its previously authorized repurchase program after acquiring a total of 637,084 shares, including 474,630 during the first half of 2026.
The Q2 results make government contracting an increasingly important validation point for Safe Pro’s AI platform. The next stage will depend on whether Army exercises, defense-prime integrations and other evaluations convert into larger product deployments and additional contract awards.
KEY QUOTES:
“The increasing number of contract awards Safe Pro has received this year for our patented AI-powered threat detection and mapping technology validates what we believe is a large and urgent unmet need for real-time, ground-truth situational awareness across the defense sector. Our investments through the first half of 2026 in personnel, technology development, inventory, and disciplined capital allocation including our completed share repurchase program, are aligned with what we believe is a growing, high-margin, government contract revenue base. We believe the underlying fundamentals position Safe Pro for sustained long-term growth as adoption of our unique edge compute threat detection technology accelerates across aerial and ground-based military platforms.”
