OK, consider this: Driving a car in San Francisco is harder than flying a drone. Google had built autonomous cars that can do that. Hence, there are autonomous drones. Finding your face among millions poorly made pictures taken from mobile cams is _much_ harder than determining whether somebody's silhouette in a video feed contains the profile of a gun. _I_ can take Python and write this kind of program (it will not be military-grade, but will work most of the time). Hence, military also tried and tested this. Especially given the telemetry and infrared data available. Image processing and recognition is now at least on par with humans. See clarifai.com demos for examples.
