DARPA's Homing Bullets Can Now Hit Moving Targets
• http://motherboard.vice.com, Emiko JozukaNoting that they'd completed their most successful live-fire test to date in February 2015, the agency announced in a stateme?nt that "an experienced shooter using the technology demonstration system repeatedly hit moving and evading targets." Training doesn't look like a prerequisite to use this technology either: The statement continued, "Additionally, a novice shooter using the system for the first time hit a moving target."
In a video released yesterday, ammo from the agency's Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) program is shown zoning in on moving and accelerating targets with chilling accuracy. Just like last time, the mini missiles are also immune to external variables such as weather, wind, and target movement. You can see the homing missile arch into the air then veer sharply off course to the right as it hones in on the evading target.
