    Listen to the news
    • In late May 2026, Safe Pro Group Inc. announced progress in its AI-powered threat detection collaboration with Lantronix, integrating Safe Pro’s algorithms into Lantronix’s Open-Q System-on-Module platform for real-time edge processing across drones and autonomous systems.
    • This work, already tied to Qualcomm-based platforms and U.S. Army Short Range Reconnaissance drones under a Master Services Agreement, underscores Lantronix’s role in enabling NDAA-compliant, on-device AI for defense and advanced robotics.
    • Next, we’ll examine how this AI threat detection edge-computing milestone may influence Lantronix’s investment narrative around drones and defense.
