In an era where the military utilization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has become essential for surveillance and operational operations, our study tackles the growing demand for real-time, accurate UAV recognition. The rise of UAVs presents numerous safety hazards, requiring systems that distinguish UAVs from non-threatening phenomena, such as birds. This research study conducts a comparative examination of advanced machine learning models, aiming to address the challenge of real-time aerial classification in diverse environmental conditions without model retraining. This research employs extensive datasets to train and validate models such as Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines, ensemble methods, and Gradient Boosting Machines. The fashions are evaluated based on accuracy, forgetfulness, and processing efficiency—criteria determining the viability of real-time operational scenarios. The findings indicate that Neural Networks exhibit enhanced performance, demonstrating exceptional accuracy in distinguishing UAVs from birds. This culminates in our primary assertion: Neural Networks possess vital operational security ramifications and can markedly enhance the allocation of defense resources. The findings significantly improve surveillance systems, highlighting the effectiveness of machine-learning methods in real-time UAV identification. Moreover, incorporating Neural Network systems into military defenses is recommended to enhance decision-making capabilities and security operations. Foresee forthcoming UAV developments and advocate for regular model updates to keep up with increasingly nimble and perhaps stealthier drone designs.
