Abstract
In this research paper we explores the transformative role of drones in military operations, highlighting the historical evolution and strategic impact of these unmanned systems. Tracing their development from early investigation tools to sophisticated battle instruments, the study highlights significant milestones in drone technology. We are giving special attention to the integration of deep learning techniques and the YOLOv7 object detection framework, to examining their contributions for enhancing drone capabilities. The paper investigates into the technical advancements brought by deep learning, including improved navigation, targeting accuracy, and real-time decision-making. YOLOv7’s innovations in object detection and tracking are analysed for their operational benefits in various military scenarios. Through a comprehensive historical and strategic analysis, the study evaluates the effectiveness of deep learning-enhanced drones compared to traditional systems. Additionally, the research addresses the ethical and legal implications of autonomous drone warfare, considering the broader impact on military strategy and global security. In these paper we identifies emerging trends and potential future advancements in drone technology, offering predictive insights into the next generation of military operations. We also examine the past, present, and future of military drones, this study underscores the critical role of AI and advanced algorithms in revolutionizing modern warfare.
