Video of it in use [1:00] (no audio): https://youtu.be/YoOaJclkSZg

The Department of Defense’s research agency, DARPA, releasedfootage on Monday showing the bullet, after completing a prototype in February, as part of DARPA’s Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) program. Footage posted to DARPA’s official YouTube channel shows live-fire tests by an expert sniper and a first-time sniper. In both cases, the bullet course corrects in midair, speeding toward a target even if it’s not centered in the crosshairs. An optical guidance system enables the bullet to compensate for weather, wind and other factors that might push it off course.

    The D in DARPA is Defense.

    Sometimes projects disappear for good reason.

    I’m speculating if it works as well as this video shows maybe that’s why it disappeared.
