American smart bullet technology

United States are being develop the bullet technology that could automatically chasing a moving target. First introduced in July 2014, through a program known as the EXtreme ACcuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) has now been showcased its capability to the public.
The bullets have a real-time guidance system to track target, and can change their course if needed. The video shows Exacto rounds manoeuvring in flight to hit targets that are moving and accelerating. (Picture from: http://dailym.ai/1DLIGA7)
In a video uploaded by the US defense research agency (DARPA) to YouTube on April 27, 2015, that showing off the ability of 50-caliber bullet fired by a sniper, and can automatically change direction to follow a moving target. This technology is similar to the missiles ability that were fired from fighter jets, submarines, frigates or another warships.
This graphic reveals how Exacto bullet-style tech can track target and change direction. The sniper additionally has to take into account wind, distance and the curvature of the Earth, before pulling the trigger. (Picture from: http://dailym.ai/1DLIGA7)

In order to change direction, the bullet was directed by an optical guidance system that works in real time. With those technology, the bullet could penetrate a target even bothered by the wind or other natural factors.

In the video shown, a professional shooter been able to shoot a moving target perfectly. Seen bullets change direction automatically follow the movement of the target and hit the moving target precisely. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAILYMAIL]
