A DARPA a fazer das suas, desta vez balas que mudam a trajectória em vôo:
DARPA has released footage of a successful test of a new "smart bullet" that can change direction in midair.
Teledyne Scientific and Imaging's Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) program, which is being developed with funding from DARPA, has developed a self-steering bullet. Intended for long-distance shots, the EXACTO bullet is able to change course in order to strike moving targets.
“This live-fire demonstration from a standard rifle showed that EXACTO is able to hit moving and evading targets with extreme accuracy at sniper ranges unachievable with traditional rounds," wrote Jerome Dunn, a DARPA program manager. "Fitting EXACTO’s guidance capabilities into a small .50-caliber size is a major breakthrough and opens the door to what could be possible in future guided projectiles across all calibers.”
DARPA has released a video of the EXACTO program in action. The video shows seven shots by an experienced marksman, followed by a single shot from a first-time shooter.
