DARPA has released footage of a successful test of a new "smart bullet" that can change direction in midair.

Teledyne Scientific and Imaging's Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) program, which is being developed with funding from DARPA, has developed a self-steering bullet. Intended for long-distance shots, the EXACTO bullet is able to change course in order to strike moving targets.

“This live-fire demonstration from a standard rifle showed that EXACTO is able to hit moving and evading targets with extreme accuracy at sniper ranges unachievable with traditional rounds," wrote Jerome Dunn, a DARPA program manager. "Fitting EXACTO’s guidance capabilities into a small .50-caliber size is a major breakthrough and opens the door to what could be possible in future guided projectiles across all calibers.”

DARPA has released a video of the EXACTO program in action. The video shows seven shots by an experienced marksman, followed by a single shot from a first-time shooter.

The Department’s Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) is a .50 caliber bullet that maneuvers itself as it travels through the air. It’s far from clear how it works—“the system combines a maneuverable bullet and a real-time guidance system to track and deliver the projectile to the target,” says DARPA—but it’s now effective enough to swerve and dive to hit a moving target.

In a video released by DARPA, a trained sniper uses the system to reliably hit a target that starts moving once the shot is taken. But, unnervingly, it also manages to hit the spot when an untrained user of the sniper rifle takes a shot.

I guess these will be for "priority" targets given the cost of one bullet...

...i don't think it's heat seeking. Basically you're just fuked.

The world just got a little bit scarier

Y'all ain't seen my last-minute BBoy moves though, gonna confuse the bullet

Take the headshot in the vest and keep running

Seriously, I doubt it.
It's a lead blob that spins as it exits the barrel, what's going to make it turn? Whatever is making it turn probably won't fit in a .223 caliber or 9mm round.
And what's to say that the sniper shot ahead of the moving target so that it would hit on impact? You know, like throwing a football to a moving receiving.

a .50 caliber will probably blow half of your body away when it hits center mass.....no way you will want to survive that hitting any part of your body.

Damn. Gonna have to travel with decoys and hope the bullets are too expensive to hit everyone
