Edit: Damn, I did not expect so many responses. Thank you, I’ve learned a fair amount about drone strikes in the last few hours.

So what makes a drone stay focused on a target then? Does the drone map an outline of what the shape of it is? And then the infra-red (or whatever) lasers just keep focused on it, as well as continuously scanning around it to make sure it stays locked on it?
I was wondering like what if a similarly-shaped object came into close proximity. Would the drone be able to differ between the two if they were very similar? Say a basketball was being tracked as it bounced/rolled down a hill, and a soccerball either hit the basketball, or rolled/bounced alongside it.
Or maybe even identical basketballs. Could the drone stay tracked on the one it was set for, even if they were both madly bouncing around in a small area?
