It's a bullet that's able to change its trajectory mid-flight and hit the target even if it moves

Washington: New smart bullets have recently been developed that can adjust and self-steer its path in mid-air to hit a moving target.
DARPA stated that the Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) system seeks to improve sniper's efficiency and improve troop safety by allowing greater shooter standoff range and reduction in target engagement timelines, the Verge reported.
The tech would help snipers quickly identify targets in hostile and remote locations, where high winds and dusty terrain would otherwise send rounds off course.
If that wasn't scary enough, a new video from the government agency shows another test, conducted in February, in which a person who has never used a sniper rifle easily hits a moving target.
