You take your fundamental 500 pound bomb and reconfigure it so that it can cook off in precision patterns so that you hit only what you want to hit, where you want to hit it, with as much as is needed to do the job.

Something like that.

Next, smart bullets ~ they only hit the target you want to hit.

No, they have handguns and every type of weapon you can think of.

Like in who framed Roger Rabbit? He had little indians for bullets that, when they came to a corner would decide which way to go. Cool technology.

They already have a design for smart auto-cannon shells. The are laser guided (someone, possibly the firing aircraft) had to paint the target. They round uses piezoelectric quartz rods to steer the nose.

The US has something like that already. 50# smart bomb. I think they're small enough so
that 8 can be configured in place of a 2000 pounder.

And, iirc, the B2 can carry 80 of them.
