Safe Pro's Airborne Response Awarded Two New Disaster Response Contracts for Drone-Based Aerial Imagery Services
- Airborne Response prepares for above average storm activity expected during 2025 Atlantic Hurricane season -
Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ:SPAI) ("Safe Pro" or the "Company"), a leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered defense and security solutions, today announced that its Mission Critical Unmanned Solutions® subsidiary, Airborne Response (Airborne), has been recently awarded two aerial drone services contracts by two power utility customers serving millions of central Florida residents.
Following open public solicitations, Airborne Response Corp has recently been selected as a preferred vendor for two utility customers to provide disaster response aerial imagery capture services to inspect and assess possible storm damage to power grid infrastructure following major storms including hurricanes. Airborne Response will also provide non-storm related "blue sky" condition assessment services on request by each customer. The contracts specify the use of Florida-compliant uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) or drones, platforms which Airborne has already fully deployed throughout its fleet.
According to data released by NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has a 60% likelihood of higher than expected storm activity. So far in 2025, there have been six storms, including one hurricane named Erin, which reached Category 5 strength. This follows an intense 2024 Atlantic hurricane season which was extremely active and destructive, witnessing 11 hurricanes, and 5 intense, major storms including Helene and Milton which caused extensive damage across wide areas of Florida.
"Airborne's selection by these additional power utility customers expands its list of public, private, state, local and commercial enterprise customers throughout the state of Florida. Following the major storm strikes last year, we have confidence in Airborne's team and its flight crews who stand ready to support its power utility operators in providing their customers with access to safe and reliable power," said Dan Erdberg, chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group Inc.
Airborne Response is one of Florida's leading providers of drone-based critical infrastructure inspection and monitoring services. It serves customers including power utilities, telecommunications network operators and property insurance companies and is a trusted partner in local hurricane disaster response services. It also provides turn-key, drone-as-a-first responder (DFR) services for law enforcement and public safety, currently under a multiphase contract with a Florida municipal police department.
