Meet The Smart Bullet That Literally Steers To Hit Its Target
Smart bullets that steer to find their targets are coming soon – maybe not to a gun store shelf near you but at least to the military.
The guided bullets program began as a highly classified project seven years ago, but footage of their recent tests is now public.
The guided bullets were developed by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) firearms experts as a part of their EXACTO project. (DARPA is a military agency.) The smart bullets have been able to hit both moving and evading targets repeatedly during testing.
Self-steering bullets underwent live-fire testing by DARPA shooters in February. DARPA noted in a recent public release that the .50 caliber smart bullets have passed their most advanced live-fire tests to date.
