DARPA's 50-Cal Sniper Rounds Change Course Mid-Flight
We Are the Mighty
Yesterday at 10:52 AM
The Pentagon's research arm is engineering .50-cal sniper rounds that can change course in flight
DARPA’s EXACTO program successfully tested a .50 cal bullet that can change its course in mid-flight to hit a target.
The bullet can hit its intended target despite high winds, minimal visibility, or sniper experience. According to DARPA, the system works by combining a maneuverable bullet and a real-time guidance system to track and deliver the projectile to the target, allowing the bullet to change path during flight to compensate for any unexpected factors that may drive it off course.
