Maybe not instantly, for eg. my unit should not move for 1-2 turns while looking in that direction or maybe add some kind of special ability...

How long would you need to stare at a properly camouflaged person from distance to reliably recognize him?

It's realistic that people who are in good hiding and not moving are hard to spot. Let's suppose that you have thermal vision - even then you'd have to spot the tiny area where this person is exposed at your direction. I remember one cold Finnish night, we were among the first batch of infantry that got hands into TI equipment. During the night I many times thought I'd seen some movement behind the trees and rocks, turning my night vision equipment over there just to see nothing at all.
My solution to your problem is to drop enough munitions to the area where I know or suspect the enemy troops to be. Rockets, especially CM, is good for that.
