- Uses a laser to navigate to its target
- Can correct the path using programming
- uses fins to travel
- Has all the aspects of a normal bullet
- Took much more programing to turn
- Much more expensive to make than normal bullets
- 4 inches long
- reaches up to 2400 ft. per second
- created to have multiple parts like a missile
- does not have grooves like traditional bullet
- Flies and is projected like a dart
- self corrects at 30 times a second
- 8 inches of correction
And the progression will go on for the development of the smart bullet.

The next major innovation:
Rifle Bullet
This bullet was invented by Major Rubin. The rifle bullet not only is an elongated bullet, but also has a lead core and a copper coating. The copper coating allows the bullet to bare high temperatures from being fired at high velocities. This carved the way to powerful guns and machine guns.
The next improvement...
Grooves on the Bullet
1820-1855
Bullets before
1854-1857
Next break through in improving the bullet is using grooves to create a spin before projecting to its target. This idea was adopted to to all future models of bullets. The innovator, Sir Joseph Whitworth also experimented with many other ways to improve the bullet such as smaller bore and elongating the bullet.
Throughout these couple of decades, there has been many innovations on the bullet. The Greener bullet was the first to have a pointed base and a hollow base to engage the barrel Also it had an aerodynamic shape made this ammo extremely effective. The bullets created after this time like Minié ball, were modeled after the Greener bullet.
The Developer
Sandia National Laboratories are located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They were the inventors of the Smart Bullet. Though at the moment, it is under development for the U.S. military by Alliant Tech systems.
The Smart Bullet
Sandia National Laboratories have created a bullet that can seek out targets even as far as a mile away from where the shooter is located. This new innovation of the modern bullet is still a work in progress and is under development for the U.S but this powerful bullet has changed the face of snipers and future warfare already.
The Smart Bullet
From smart phones to cleaning robots, the world is getting more and more self-functional. There is even a self-guided bullet.
