Homing bullets, according to the transcript, rely on DARPA technology rather than fantasy. It explains that EXACTO is an Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance 50-caliber round using an optical guidance system to identify and track targets, plus onboard correction mechanisms for weather, wind, and target movement. The transcript claims these rounds could hit targets from hundreds of yards away, even for less-experienced shooters, and DARPA aims to shrink guidance and flight mechanisms to produce guided ammunition across calibers. It also mentions DARPA work on swarming drone technology and an unmanned vessel tracking enemy submarines. What other modern military technology should we cover next?
