Smart weapons are missiles that use computerized guidance systems to locate their targets. Whereas in normal missiles, they have to be aimed and shot, msart weapons can still be controlled after they are shot by a person who watches its path on a sreen and uses controls to direct it to the desired target. This allows for more accuracy when hitting a target, but it also lowers the amount fo time to make the life and death decisions. This can make errors go up, becasu epeople have less time toi think out whehter using the weapon is necessary or not.
