The STRIX is in use and is AFAIK the only IR-guided mortar bomb out there. I know that both Israel, Russian and the US have been experimenting with GPS as well as laserguided munitions for mortars, but I dont know how succesfull they have been.
I belive the STRIX costs around 40.000 USD per bomb which makes it quite cost efficent when aimed at tanks."The secret of war lies in the communications" - Napoleon Bonaparte

Quantum mechanics describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And yet it fully agrees with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as She is - absurd! - Richard Feynman
