Self-guided bullet could hit laser-marked targets from a mile away

Jan Belezina, Gizmag:

"A group of researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have built a prototype of a small-caliber bullet capable of steering itself towards a laser-marked target located approximately 2,000 meters (1.2 miles) away. The dart-like design has passed the initial testing stage, which included computer simulations as well as field-testing prototypes built from commercially available parts." (Hi-tech)
