    It is public and (relatively) common knowledge that an Abrams tank can fire accurately at speed over rough terrain by postponing the firing of a shell by just a fraction of a second until the gyroscopes and computers determine that tank is “floating” at the apex of a bump.

    That tech has existed since the 1980’s.

    The implementation shown in this gif may be noncredible, but the concept most certainly belongs in the other place.
