April 29, 201511 yr This could have been in the Controversial, Outdoors, Technology, Political or Break Room forums US Military's Self-Steering Bullets Can Hit Moving Targets FWIW...I'd love to work for DARPA!!! In what some might consider a terrifying development, the U.S. military has passed a key milestone in creating self-steering bullets. Using technology developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), experienced and novice shooters alike demonstrated that they could hit moving targets during a series of tests in February, agency officials announced yesterday (April 27). Military snipers are often faced with having to hit moving targets in difficult conditions, such as high winds or dusty terrain like that found in Afghanistan. DARPA's Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) program was designed to increase snipers' accuracy in these situations, by improving their range and reducing the time required to hit a target.
