In the development of the Agency’s Defense Advanced Research Projects (DARPA) under the Ministry of Defense is a lot a truly interesting and exciting projects for the creation of weapons and defense systems of the future. Some of them have long since passed from the stage of a futuristic concept in the creation of the first stage of prototyping and testing. One such project is the development of “smart” munitions EXACTO (Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance). Recently, on YouTube-channel DARPA was published video holding the February tests homing bullets EXACTO, during which the arrow to rely on the possibility of the laser system adjustments bullet trajectory, repeatedly managed to hit both moving targets.

The first video demonstration system EXACTO appeared at the end of last year. Recall, then, for the shooting of “smart” bullets used anti-materiel rifle chambered for .50 (12,7h99 mm), equipped with complex electronics. It is expected that this technology will offset the impact of a number of factors that hinder the successful defeat of targets, including the inexperience of the arrow, weather conditions, wind speed, high maneuverability and other goals.

The above fresh video It shows the trajectory of bullets fired by a qualified shooter and beginners who first picked up a sniper rifle. In all cases, when firing with motion compensation target system showed 100% efficiency.



«This demonstration, in which shots were made from ordinary rifles, showed that the bullets EXACTO able to hit moving targets and avoid high precision at long range unattainable by firing conventional ammunition. Placing these capabilities within .50 caliber bullet is a major achievement and one day make it possible to issue “smart” weapons of any caliber, “- said the project manager EXACTO Jerome Dunn.

According to DARPA, the technology will significantly increase the effectiveness of enemy snipers in unfamiliar terrain like Afghanistan, where strong winds and dust storms, hamper the successful defeat of the goal. Although the use of “smart” bullets will be the prerogative solely of professional snipers, this technology seems advanced enough to correct the mistakes a novice who does not have the skills for handling weapons. Of course, the US Army, these homing bullets may appear more soon. Usually, since the first tests and experimental prototypes before the years pass.
