DARPA, the military’s secret nerd consortium, recently awarded a $7 million dollar contract to Lockheed Martin to deliver 15 field-testable prototypes of the agency’s automated “One-Shot” rifles by next October.
The One-Shot project is able to calculate atmospheric conditions to tell a gunman exactly where to fire to hit a target from a range of up to 3,600 feet. The program began in 2007 when Lockheed developed a down-range sniper system that calculates ballistics based on average crosswind, range, temperature, pressure, humidity, and a range of other conditions.
