  "account": "The U.S. Army has awarded a $2.5 million contract to Safe Pro Group for threat-detection software designed to bolster drones that protect Abrams tanks. This software, called Ground Truth, can identify and map over 150 types of explosive threats from aerial imagery, including land mines, anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions, and first-person-view drones meant to ambush troops. The Army is adapting its armored forces for more dangerous battlefields where tanks face threats like mines, drones, and ground robots. Safe Pro's technology integrates with Anduril Industries' Ghost-X drone, giving tank crews better situational awareness to avoid hazards and support their missions.",
  "summary": "The Army is interested in putting AI software on Anduril's Ghost-X drone to help it detect mines, enemy drones, and other threats to Abrams tanks.",
