Since WW1 countries have spent more money trying to find the technology to kill better and rougher…….in history we went from swords and spears to guns to artillery to tanks to planes to missile and finally the ultimate weapon…the nuke!

Governments have shown good sense in their efforts to prevent the use of nukes ever again…..and now we have the drones, those remotely operated planes that are  used for everything from spying to assassination…..and with all that the world’s military-industrial complex is still NOT satisfied….they are working on another remote killer…..

This reminds me of a bad Tom Selleck movie set in the future where robots do a lot of the police work….and the bad guy was trying to obtain the new bullet that could be sterred to the person it was intended to kill……a little far fetched huh?  Maybe not necessarily so…….

I found this on the Wired website…….

The U.S. military has been after self-guided bullets for years. Now, government researchers have finally made it happen: A bullet that can navigate itself a full mile before successfully nailing its target.

The breakthrough comes courtesy of engineers at Sandia National Laboratory, owned by Lockheed Martin. They’ve successfully tested a prototype of the bullet at distances up to 2,000 meters — more than a mile. The photo above is an actual image taken during one of those tests. A light-emitting diode was attached to the bullet, showing the amazing pathway that the munition made through the night sky.

Of course, Lockheed’s been a longtime partner in the military’s quest for the ultimate, self-guided munition. In 2008, they scored a $14.5 million contract as part of Darpa’s “Exacto” program, which sought to develop sniper rifles with guided bullets. They’ve also been involved in the agency’s “One Shot” initiative, which is trying to develop scope-mounted lasers that can help snipers compensate for weather conditions.

Always….a better way to kill!  Surely, this perfect specimen of God’s creation could find a better way to waste their time…….
