Now you don’t have to be a good shooter to hit the mark.
The US military has successfully tested self-steering “smart” bullets that have a real-time guidance system to track targets and can change their course if needed.
In February, the “smart bullets” — .50-caliber projectiles equipped with
optical sensors — passed their most successful round of live-fire tests to date, according to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
In the tests, an experienced marksman “repeatedly hit moving and evading
targets,” a DARPA statement said.
“Additionally, a novice shooter using the system for the first time hit a moving target. In other words, now you do not even have to be a good shot to hit the mark,” the statement said.
