Awesome video. I liked how it showed us the projectile its self and had a little explaination on how it worked....
You'll probably find that information is classified and I think it'll be a fair while before they show the projectile or explain how it works.Quote:

How the ammunition is designed to change direction in mid-air is classified.

Imagine the bullet is a gyroscope. As you change the distribution of weight, you change the direction of the axis about which the bullet rotates - hence you change the direction in which the bullet travels. This is just speculation, I have no idea how this actually works. But it makes sense to me.
What is really impressive is that they fit all the sensors into such a small space, along with the ability to transmit and receive data from a weapon.
This is far from the "fire and forget" technology found in things like Javelin AT missiles. But I think they're constrained in terms of space in the projectile.
centripetal, pfft who didnt know that :ORLY:
Big word. Like "Wheelbarrow".Quote:
