Thanks for this, highly relevant.

From my experience of war zones, emblems are very important and heavily
used, as well abused. It goes from writing "TV" with tape on cars to
covering whole vans with red-cross colors and symbols.
Detection can sometimes save civilian lives.

To have proper verification is very important, because certain militians
abuse them to go past guarded areas and because armies doubting authenticity
will shoot despite emblems are visible.

The technical challenge will not just be about verification, but both
detection and verification in areas where signals can be disturbed.
Visibility and audio are the only effective vectors and objects or people
carrying emblems may be moving at high speed and may need to be recognized
and verified from up in the sky.

ciao
