"If there’s an overarching theme for weapons research at the U.S. Department of Defense research agency DARPA it’s this: You can run, but you can’t hide.

DARPA researchers have recently tested homing bullets that maneuver themselves in-flight to hit moving targets from long distance. Researchers first tested the Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) earlier this year, and expert, as well as novice, marksmen consistently hit a target from hundreds of yards away. "

2. DARPA, turning science fiction into reality

I know the idea was part of the movie Runaway: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaway_(1984_film)

and I am fairly certain the concept has been in science fiction books as well.
