ARE SMART BULLETS THE FUTURE OF PRECISION WARFARE?
Travis Pike | October 24, 2022
Smartphones, smartwatches, smart scopes, but what about smart bullets? If DARPA, aka the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, has its way, smart bullets will become a very real thing. DARPA manages and oversees several projects that aim to increase the efficiency of the United States military through technology. They work with universities and private companies to produce some truly high-tech projects.
Smart bullets have been on the menu since 2014. The idea behind guided munitions isn’t new. Guided munitions are game changers that made the military a much more effective and lethal fighting force. Even your average grunt has access to guided anti-armor assets via TOW and Javelin missiles. However, shrinking guided munitions down to bullet size presents quite a challenge. There isn’t much room to work, but that doesn’t mean the possibility isn’t apparent.
Before we dive into that, why would someone even want smart bullets to begin with?
