Technology is evolving at a surprising speed and, of course, this affects all sorts of different fields. Also to the arms industry, we have already seen smart phones, smart watches and smart TVs, now seem to be the turn of smart bullets, as they just released a system of self-directional bullets in which DARPA has been working during years.

Some time ago the test phase of these self-directed bullets faces its final stretch. Now, the experimental weapon produced from DARPA laboratories is about to become reality. Once it does, conventional warfare could change forever, especially in urban and assault operations.

The intelligent bullet has the ability to hit the target even when the shot is bad. In the different tests performed, the result is the same whether the shooter is an expert or a rookie. The projectile corrects its path to pursue the moving target, even if it moves at high speed.

### <center>The official name of this new invention of the United States Army is ***EXACTO*** (Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordenance)</center>

***
Statements by Jerome Dunn, one of the program's leaders at DARPA:

>“EXACTO has demonstrated what was once thought impossible: the continuous guidance of a small-caliber bullet to target,”

***
The main difference between EXACT bullets and those already on the market is that new ones do not have to be guided by lasers and do not require human intervention. In fact, the weapon could be automated so that it fires automatically.

Obviously, the technology behind this armament is unknown. Military secrets are well guarded in all countries, especially where they often experiment with the latest technology.
