Re: Пишут, что...
Добрый день!
The bullet prototype is a recent invention by the Lockheed Martin-owned Sandia National Laboratory, but the people behind the project have been working on it for years as part of DARPA's Exacto program launched in 2008.

The Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) system will improve sniper effectiveness and enhance troop safety by allowing greater shooter standoff range and reduction in target engagement timelines. Acquiring moving targets in unfavorable conditions, such as high winds commonly found in Afghanistan, is extremely challenging with current technology. The objective of the EXACTO program is to revolutionize rifle accuracy and range by developing the first ever guided small caliber bullet. The EXACTO 50- caliber round and optical sighting technology will greatly extend the day and nighttime range over current state-of-the-art sniper systems. The system combines a maneuverable bullet and a real-time guidance system to both track and deliver the projectile to the target. Technology development includes the design and integration of aero-actuation controls, power sources, optical guidance systems, and sensors.

Т.е. есть программа EXACTO, которую финансирует ДАРПА. А теперь один из разработчиков, Sandia National Laboratory ("Локхид Мартин"), получивший на это дело от ДАРПы 12.3 млн. длр., ищет партнера, частную фирму, для окончания и внедрения разработки.
