I will apologize out front for any chance (quite high) that this has been posted to earlier. Hopefully if done, it was NOT the same Link! I believe for something of this nature, being posted several times is better than NOT posting it directly and quickly.

I had heard previously of research regarding this quest and then today came across a brief on Yahoo. I pasted a Link to it on the GD Forum, but figured that for many that might have an interest in it, they may or may not go down the road to GD, so here goes here as well!

    I didn't read the links, but heard this topic on the radio this morning in truck. They said 30 rounds/sec and could direct the bullet after impact and was about 3-4" long.

    Pretty much sums up what parts I caught.

    Very interesting. Wonder how much a round will cost? Any bets how long until the second generation is a heat seaker?

    Just like the 'bullet boxes' that, thankfully, went away. Too much money on too little REAL capability. I would surely be pleased if the U.S. Military would spend just 1/50th of this money on a real sniper round instead of wasting it on this BS![:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!]

    No, I'm not bitter watching stupid 'Pet Rock' projects like this get funded when a simple upgrade would equip us a lot better in the meantime.[}:)][}:)]

    Seem to have more in common with guided missiles than with our traditional bullets. [:0]

    Eyes in front, fins, correctable flight, tracking, etc. - like mini-missiles! ( Shades of Me and Mini-Me! ) [;)]

    I have attempted, so far unsuccessfully to find more technical information regarding this item. Each story found is a rehash of the same info and photos, so far. [V]
