The Army is Getting Vehicle-Chasing Smart Bombs
And U.S. Special Forces couldn’t be happier.
by Michael Peck
Here's What You Need To Remember: The project seems to be tackling the issue of smart weapons whose full capabilities exceed what is offered by the sensors that guide them to their targets. For users like special operations forces, who may be tasked with missions like eliminating a terrorist leader, the ability to hit a target in a moving vehicle—rather than waiting for it to stop—would be useful.
Someday an enemy tank or a terrorist pickup truck will zoom down the road, with a smart bomb hot on its tail like a bloodhound.
It’s an almost comical thought. But the U.S. Army wants a guidance system that will allow laser-guided bombs to hit moving targets.
