SPARC AI ADVANCES TOWARD COMMERCIALIZATION WITH LICENSING INTEGRATION
Sparc AI Inc. has integrated a software licensing solution into its product.
This advanced licensing solution is designed to efficiently handle the issuance and management of subscriptions and licences for resellers, distributors and customers. Furthermore, it is seamlessly being incorporated into Sparc AI's back-end billing engine for enhanced operational efficiency.

This system has now been enhanced, enabling operators to monitor drone movements in real time via both camera and map views when in autonomous flight mode.
Sparc AI has invested considerable effort into the product to make it robust and fit for purpose. The management team is now gearing up to launch the product, with additional updates planned for release to the market in due course.

SPARC AI INC
October 3, 2024 – TheNewswire - Toronto, Canada – SPARC AI INC. (CSE: SPAI) (OTCQB: SPAIF) (Frankfurt: 5OV0) (“SPAI” or the “Company”) is excited to announce the development of version 2.0 has been completed and the Company is now testing the solution.
Version 2.0 introduces enhanced capabilities tailored for identifying target locations in challenging terrains and environments. This upgraded technology is designed to address the most difficult target acquisition tasks, aiding sectors such as search and rescue, border security, defence, and situational awareness. With this new version, users can pinpoint the exact geo-location of hidden targets or areas of limited visibility , whether they are positioned on ridges, hillsides, or concealed within coastal cliffs and mountainous regions.
The company is intensifying its efforts to expand its presence in the Target Acquisition System market, which is valued at US$13.59 billion, according to Statview Research 1 . While many competitors depend on complex, costly, and heavy hardware solutions deployed on the ground, such as the Elbit Systems HATTORIX, SPARC AI has taken a different approach. It has developed an innovative software solution that integrates seamlessly with drones, enabling a cost effective and rapid deployment and efficient target acquisition across a broad area, including challenging and complex terrains.
The company has begun implementing a new billing platform to streamline the management of recurring payments for its software. This platform will handle billing cycles, licensing, and payments on a per-drone basis, while also providing a solution for managing billing and payments for resellers and channel partners.
The Company is looking forward to sharing test results of Version 2.0 over the coming weeks.

SPARC AI Revolutionizing Border Security
2024-08-30 15:01 ET - News Release
(via TheNewswire)
SPARC AI INC
August 30, 2024 – TheNewswire - Toronto, Canada – SPARC AI INC. (CSE: SPAI) (OTCQB: SPAIF) (Frankfurt: 5OV0) (“SPAI” or the “Company”) is excited to announce that it has successfully completed several tests on water.
The SPARC AI enabled drone was able to successfully record the location of a Navigation Marker in the ocean that was 477 meters away. The drone was flying at 35 meters above the ground with high winds of over 52km/hour.
Whether you need target acquisition to guard against illegal immigration, smuggling, terrorism demands, search and rescue or recording shark attacks, SPARC AI could be the ideal solution as it does not require GPS, radar, laser, lidar or image recognition software. Once a target has been identified the drone can autonomously fly to the target for further investigation and fly back to base using SPARC AI algorithms.

SPARC AI to Attend the Land Forces 2024 International Defence Exposition
2024-08-30 09:26 ET - News Release
(via TheNewswire)
SPARC AI INC
August 30, 2024 – TheNewswire - Toronto, Canada – SPARC AI INC. (CSE: SPAI) (OTCQB: SPAIF) (Frankfurt: 5OV0) (“SPAI” or the “Company”) is excited to announce that management will be attending the Land Forces 2024 International Defence Exposition on 11-13 September 2024. The last time this event was held in 2022, it attracted over 20,000 visitors including Defence, Government and Industry delegations from 30 nations. Over 800 companies exhibit at the event.
The event will provide a great opportunity for management to network at the event and explore business development opportunities.
The Company would also like to clarify the news release issued on the 28 th of August 2024 in relation to a private placement. Since new management took over about 12 months ago, the Company has been largely funded by directors of the Company and structured to minimize dilution for shareholders. The directors accepted the technical risk of re-coding the entire SPARC AI software platform, integrating it into mobile applications, microchips and a high-end drone.
The Company had also recently announced an unsecured loan agreement with two directors. Once again, the directors are taking the risk on further product development, working capital and commercialization activities. This level of commitment to the success of a public company is unprecedented.
The Company is also in the process of applying for an R&D refund which is expected to be around $45,000. The directors also have warrants that could be exercised to provide further funding. The Company is not in any rush to undertake a private placement and is focusing its effects on commercialization activities.

SPARC AI INC
August 16, 2024 – TheNewswire - Toronto, Canada – SPARC AI INC. (CSE: SPAI) (OTCQB: SPAIF) (Frankfurt: 5OV0) (“SPAI” or the “Company”), having successfully completed and tested the integration of SPARC AI on a high-end drone, the Company is progressing to commercialize the technology for the following use cases including situation awareness, search and rescue, security, and bushfire detection.
With the technical risks behind us, the Company can progress to productizing its technology including the development of marketing collateral, technical specification manuals, and start engaging with potential clients and distribution partners.
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has started working on designing and building a loitering munition drone. The new drone will be low cost and fully controlled and managed by SPARC AI algorithms that require no GPS or radio frequency connection to a controller. It will fly autonomously and self-navigate to the target enemy.
The objective is to make the low-cost loitering munition drone undetectable by counter-drone technologies and provide a high degree of target acquisition accuracy that is currently lacking by low-cost loitering munition drones 1 .
The directors Anoosh Manzoori and Justin Hanka have provided the Company with a $200,000 loan facility. The loan is unsecured and comes with no interest, fees or penalties. A total of 400,000 warrants will be issued in connection to the loan, expiring in 2 years with an exercise price of $0.26. Management has extensive experience in delivering highly scalable high-tech solutions within budget and in a timely manner. Management is confident that the development of the low-cost SPARC AI enabled loitering munition drone can be developed within budget.
Given the potential dangers of using this technology, the drone will only be sold via appropriate channels. The Company will seek legal advice before entering into any commercial contract.
About SPARC AI
SPARC AI has developed and patented the S patial P redictive A pproximation and R adial C onvolution. This includes proprietary algorithms that uses proven mathematics to calculate the location of distant objects without using Satellite, GPS or the Internet. SPARC AI is developing a range of geospatial products using its core IP and is also integrating these into a microchip to allow customers to activate SPARC AI on any of their camera device, including drones.
