BBC News - Self-steering bullet researched by US weapons experts

A self-guiding bullet that can steer itself towards its target is being developed for use by the US military.
The bullet uses tiny fins to correct the course of its flight allowing it to hit laser-illuminated targets.
It is designed to be capable of hitting objects at distances of about 2km (1.24 miles). Work on a prototype suggests that accuracy is best at longer ranges !

The smart bullet has been in development for more than 10 years. It was one of the most challenging projects that I ever worked on. It is just now getting close to being a fieldable tool for our forces. The cost to produce them will be small, but the amount of money and engineering hours that went intothe development is huge.
