Again. Area of mostly solved problems. More modern infrared tracking can actively lock onto specific thermal signatures, rather than dumbly going after the biggest heat source like early models. Javelins built on late 80s and early 90s computer tech can do this for example. They mainly need a human operator to pick out which thermal blob on a cluttered ground environment is the target to lock on to.
The latter environment IS an area where newer image recognition software is useful. Its a reason fully autonamous FPVs are potentially gonna get real scarier in the future. But it's less dtamatic in a long range aircombat context. You don't need cutting edge machine learning to figure out that the one unidentified thermal signature in tens of kilometer of empty sky might be your bogey.
