Safe Pro Group Inc. has introduced its NODE-X processor at a U.S. Army exercise aimed at improving AI threat detection capabilities. This launch, which occurred on April 13, 2026, in Aventura, Florida, follows a recent government contract secured by the company.
NODE-X is designed for drone footage analysis and supports military operations by providing advanced processing power. The processor features a backpack kit that includes a robust edge compute server and rugged GPU laptops equipped with Safe Pro’s OnSight software. This technology is compatible with U.S. Army-approved Short-Range Reconnaissance (SRR) drones and utilizes the patented Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) technology.
With the ability to function independently of connectivity, NODE-X generates detailed battlefield insights through real-time AI threat detection and the creation of 3D models. The system has been trained on a substantial dataset of 2.6 million drone images, which includes 47,000 confirmed threats such as landmines and unexploded ordnance.
Looking ahead, Safe Pro plans to integrate NODE-X into additional U.S. Army exercises in the second quarter of 2026, aiming to increase production to meet the demand for advanced defense solutions.
