DARPA SECTR developing cost-effective seekers for PGMs that will identify and engage moving targets in a contested environment

Precision Guided Munitions (PGMs), and other so-called “smart” weapons, have established themselves as a key military technology against targets whose destruction requires a high degree of precision.

PGMs may include Bomb or missile that can be aimed and directed against a single/multi targets, relying on external guidance or its own guidance system. They can be launched from aircraft, ships, submarines, and land vehicles, or even by individual soldiers on the ground. They have high probability of hitting a target depending on timely and accurate intelligence.
