JShirley,
Yeah, I know that smart munitions like the ones I'm talking about won't steer themselves, but they WILL detonate in near proximity of enemy powered armor (PA). Say defending infantry with XM-generation weapons get assaulted by powered armor, they can fire at enemy with 25mm munitions set to defeat PA. These will then detonate within 5 meters of enemy PA unit and hopefully defeat them.
Scout units and predator-style drones can also seek and 'lase' these units for effective fire control.
Since infantry usually operates in squad level and larger, artillery and air-delivered munitions can be keyed-in to detonate on proper signature. Arty salvo will take out PA, air munitions like cluster bombs can do the same.
Anything with a heat signature is a danger out in the modern battlefield.
