Somebody tell DARPA I want my tax dollars back!! First the Tracking Point scope, ok maybe, but a guided bullet? What will ONE of these beauties cost? Don't we have missiles that do this already...

But then, how does it know what the target is?

[WarPig1976]

It's laser guided.
Until they come up with a phaser that can be set to "stun" or "make the dude disappear in a blinding fireball of GET SOME!!!".... I'm not impressed.

I call fake.
A fin stablized projectile can be guided by the fins or jets due to the low to no rotation . This has no fins so has to spin at high RPM to be stable. Any corrective measure taken ( a jet or pop out fin ) would be on the other side so fast that the effect would be cancled at best and more likely result in tumbles .

Nope, not fake. None of the stories I've read so far explained exactly how it works but it is guided to the target via laser.
