The importance of accurate, real-time intelligence in modern warfare is crucial, especially in reconnaissance and surveillance operations. Currently, drones are widely used for reconnaissance, but generally rely only on the operator's ability to monitor operation targets. This research is aimed at developing an AI vision assistance system to enhance the ability to detect military vehicles and infantry. The method used is computer vision trained to recognize and differentiate several military objects. The YOLO model is used to detect and distinguish objects. To improve detection capabilities, the YOLO v8 model was retrained with an additional dataset sourced from battle recordings on the battlefield. The results show a detection accuracy rate of 95% in detecting vehicles and infantry under normal visual conditions. The model from this research can be used to enhance the capabilities of reconnaissance drones and the effectiveness of monitoring operations.
