DARPA has been working on making and testing self-guided bullets for some time, and recently they announced that their efforts are proving increasingly successful. 


The official name of the project is the Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance, or EXACTO for short. 


Its goal is to create a projectile that compensates for variables out of the shooters’ control, such as moving and evading targets.


The bullets work by utilizing built-in optical sensors that read wind speeds, weather, and changes in mark position.


They then adjust their trajectory accordingly.


Tests performed this past February showed the technology is coming along quite well.
