Homing Bullets Hit the Mark Every Time

Sandia National Laboratories have developed a bullet that can adjust its own flight-path after it has been fired, in order to home in on the intended target. The prototype has been successfully tested at ranges of up to 2,000 meters - more than a mile. Flying at more than twice the speed of sound, the bullet makes navigational adjustments up to 30 times per second.
