Camouflaged snipers are some of the most feared soldiers on any
battlefield. From great distances and behind unseen barriers, sniper
units can take their time targeting and picking off soldiers, delivering
not only death but also an enormous psychological toll on the
well-being of soldiers who can never be too careful on the ground.
Unfortunately, the job of advancing infantry just got worse. Thanks to
DARPA‘s
Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) program, snipers will soon
have the benefit of using self-guiding bullets, adding even greater
accuracy to their intended targets.
After a series of successful tests conducted this year, the EXACTO
program is finally releasing new footage of their self-guiding bullets
in action. These .50 cal. projectiles can change direction mid-flight
and function much like the
laser-guided bombs first developed by the United States during the Vietnam war.
