Improvements in aircraft detection are necessary to improve surveillance. This work investigates the exact detection and classification of airplanes using YOLOv8 in conjunction with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) photos. SAR imaging performs well in dimly lit and unfavorable environments. The objective is to use YOLOv8's object detection to identify aircraft kinds and categories in SAR pictures. A variety of SAR datasets are gathered, preprocessed, and trained on the model to allow for a thorough assessment of YOLOv8's performance in differentiating between different types of aircraft. Measures that assess model performance across aircraft classes include mean average precision (mAP), recall, and loss. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of YOLOv8 and show promising results in terms of speed and precision. This work drives progress in aerial surveillance by highlighting the robustness of SAR when combined with cutting edge deep learning for aircraft taxonomy. The achieved 98.5% mean average precision (mAP) attests to exceptional performance in aircraft detection and categorization from SAR images, reinforcing the utility of this integrated approach in bolstering security systems.
