Precision-guided firearm

[7] Precision-guided small arms prototypes have been developed which use a laser designator to guide an electronically actuated bullet to a target.

[8] Another system in development uses a laser range finder to trigger an explosive small arms shell in proximity to a target.

[10] In 2012 Sandia National Laboratories announced a self-guided bullet prototype that could track a target illuminated with a laser designator.

[11] In mid-2016, Russia revealed it was developing a similar "smart bullet" weapon designed to hit targets at a distance of up to 10 kilometres (6.2 mi).

[17] In 2024, the British armed forces signed a £4.6 million contract to purchase Israeli SMASH Smart Shooter rifle attachments, also known as a counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS).
