The DARPA EXACTO (Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance) program successfully concluded its primary phase after demonstrating the first-ever in-flight guided .50-caliber bullets. Developed in partnership with Lockheed Martin and Teledyne Scientific & Imaging, the system uses maneuverable ammunition. Furthermore, it uses real-time optical guidance to continuously track and direct projectiles toward moving and evading targets.
The program, which developed a self-steering bullet to increase hit rates for difficult, long-distance shots, completed in February its most successful round of live-fire tests to date. An experienced shooter using the technology demonstration system repeatedly hit moving and evading targets.

This video shows EXACTO rounds maneuvering in flight to hit targets that are moving and accelerating. EXACTO’s specially designed ammunition and real-time optical guidance system help track and direct projectiles to their targets. They do this by compensating for weather, wind, target movement, and other factors that can impede successful hits.
