Safe Pro Group completed all research milestones under its Phase I SBIR contract with AFWERX, the U.S. Air Force innovation arm, awarded in July 2026. The contract involved building an AI dataset from imagery of Foreign Object Debris/Damage on military and civilian airfields using the company's SpotlightAI computer vision technology.
