Exhibit 99.1
Safe Pro Group Announces $8.0 Million Private Placement Including Strategic Investment from Drone Industry Leaders Ondas Holdings and Unusual Machines to Accelerate Artificial Intelligence Growth
Investment Broadens Opportunities in FY26 $30 Billion U.S. Defense Drone and AI Markets
AVENTURA, Fla., Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN — 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 it has entered into definitive agreements for a private placement with strategic investors including Ondas Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ONDS) and Unusual Machines Inc. (NYSE: UMAC), two leaders in the U.S. drone industry.

The private placement consists of the sale of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share and warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, for a potential investment package of up to $20 million. The investment is expected to provide the financial strength and strategic relationships to accelerate commercialization of Safe Pro’s patented AI technologies, including its Safe Pro Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) and newly developed Navigation Observation Detection Engine (NODE). The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about August 20, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Safe Pro’s patented platform has already been recognized by the U.S. Army and is positioned to capitalize on the Senate Appropriations Committee’s proposed $617 million increase in funding for small, unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS), as well as the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) which allocates up to $30 billion in new drone and AI spending.
The SPOTD NODE provides real-time AI analysis of drone video and imagery directly at the tactical edge. Designed alongside military end-users, the SPOTD NODE rapidly detects landmines and more than 150 types of unexploded ordnance (UXO) and creates high definition 2D/3D maps without requiring an internet connection. Built on over 1.7 million drone images and utilized in battlefield operations in Ukraine, Safe Pro’s AI image processing technology has already delivered over 31,000 detections and mapped over 7,800 hectares.
Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas Holdings, stated: “Ondas is proud to collaborate with Safe Pro to bring next-generation computer vision AI to the unmanned systems industry. This investment reflects our mission to support a broader ecosystem that can enhance our drone solutions serving both military and commercial markets worldwide.”
Dr. Allan Evans, Chairman and CEO of Unusual Machines, added: “Unusual Machines is committed to building out and strengthening America’s Blue UAS industrial drone ecosystem with technologies that deliver real-world advantages. By supporting Safe Pro’s NODE and AI capabilities, we are helping accelerate the removal of landmines from conflict zones around the world and ensuring America maintains leadership in the expanding global drone industry.”
Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group, commented: “This strategic investment and relationship with Ondas Holdings and Unusual Machines validates Safe Pro’s AI technology leadership and provides the additional resources we need to rapidly scale. Together, we are bringing to market a real-world hardened AI platform that transforms drone operations, protects U.S. soldiers, and advances American technological dominance in the global defense and humanitarian arena.”
Northland Capital Markets and Dawson James Securities, Inc. acted as financial advisors to the transaction.
