The Americans showed a homing bullet in action.

The United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has published the results of its first successful test of 50-caliber guided bullets. The video demonstrates how a special bullet fired along the wrong path significantly corrects its path and hits the target. It is reported that the first successful trials took place in late April. It can be seen that the bullet changes its trajectory twice before hitting the target. The EXACTO program (EXtreme ACcuracy Tasked Ordnance, development of a high-precision safe sniper shooting system) was launched in November 2008. DARPA already presented the prototype of the “smart” bullet in 2012, however, a new video indicates that the agency has improved the technology, RIA Novosti points out. The EXACTO system is a large-caliber rifle controlled by a bullet and an optical guidance system that monitors the flight of the bullet and directs it toward the target. The system allows you to adjust the flight path of a bullet taking into account a variety of factors - for example, strong wind or sand storm. The developers claim that snipers with such self-guiding bullets can hit moving and complex targets under almost any conditions, without revealing their exact location. The British edition of The Register adds that the new system will also significantly increase the distance of defeat. Bullets from a .50 caliber rifle used by American snipers can fly up to 7 km, but for uncontrolled charges, aimed shooting at ranges over 2 km is incredibly difficult.

Thank Vytautas

Thank!

Interesting. But sooner or later it will appear in the police. And the terrorists are even faster. And away we go. It is a pity that a person is constantly developing devices that allow him to kill himself. Apparently we are not the first on earth. The predecessors most likely destroyed themselves with highly developed technology.

 

[Хагани]

thanks for the info ....

Thank! But for information to our colleagues, I inform you that such a weapon firing such bullets at the armament of the Alpha group of the KGB of the USSR has been composed since 1985. and he personally saw his action while detaining a particularly dangerous bandit in December 1988 in the city of Artashat of the Armenian SSR.
So, the Americans, only after 25 years were able to create such a weapon!)))))

Interesting. However, there is a problem! This is a weapon for special operations in 1-2 days. And then the batteries sat down and all hello good old AK-47)))
