I guess in time they will also recognize other elements of the target humans, like helmet shape, uniforms, rifle.

My backyard was so swarming with mosquitos that I sprayed the whole place down with that Ortho or whatever stuff you hook to a garden hose.
It’s now my 4th summer out here mosquito free...
I guess the stuff really works!

There are several types deployed. Israel has several.
Typically called “autonomous robot sniper systems”. Most are large and rather fortified, as they don’t move and are thus vulnerable to counterattack.
Now, they are going in drones and robot dogs, using much smaller weapons, to avoid this limitation.
(The 50cal was chosen to “reach out” beyond typical counter-sniper fire in part for this reason.)
These are deployed weapons, BTW. Not vaporware.

Sounds too good to be true.
Sounds like a great idea for something you turn on on your patio at night. Kill a few lightning bugs too, but eh, omelettes. If it is truly pet/human eye-safe.
Something you leave on / in your yard all day? It'll probably kill more beneficial bugs like bees and ladybugs then the amount of mosquito it takes out.
