New .50-caliber bullets that can change direction after they have been fired could soon make U.S. military snipers more deadly. The EXACTO program â or Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance â is being developed by Californiaâs Teledyne Scientific & Imaging, LLC at the behest of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, according to a DARPA video posted on YouTube. âThe objective of the EXACTO program is to revolutionize rifle accuracy and range by developing the first ever guided small-caliber bullet,â DARPA officials said in a July statement accompanying the video. âThe EXACTO .50-caliber round and optical sighting technology expects to greatly extend the day and nighttime range over current state-of-the-art sniper systems.â stripes/news/us/dod-wants-bullet-that-can-change-direction-after-being-fired-1.319419
