>Using some level of object recognition as part of the sensor fusion and filtering process seems likely for future efforts?
That is called automatic target classification/recognition, and has been used for close to half a century, too. They compare real time data they're seeing against something called a threat library that is loaded with threat systems movements, speeds, EM emissions, IR emissions from a shitload of different angles so that the system can give the operator a threat classification with a percentage of confidence that it correctly ID'd that target. AI is a meme phrase for shit that's been standard in competent militaries since the Cold War. You should look into BATs and LOCAAS programs. Where they could load an ATACMs missile with loitering drones that could automatically search, classify, target, and destroy USSR armor with LiDAR, and acoustic sensors that would listen to the sounds of the armor to classify what it was. The US was gun shy about unleashing auto targeting micro UAVs in an actual war, so they really never fielded those systems.
