Artemis, named for the Greek goddess of the chase and death, was an early air-to-air missile project carried out by the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) beginning in late 1943. The missile was intended for radar-equipped night fighters like the Bristol Beaufighter, which would track the target on their AI Mk. IV radar and then fire at a set range, with the missile homing on the signal of the AI radar being reflected off the target.

| - Artemis, named for the Greek goddess of the chase and death, was an early air-to-air missile project carried out by the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) beginning in late 1943. The missile was intended for radar-equipped night fighters like the Bristol Beaufighter, which would track the target on their AI Mk. IV radar and then fire at a set range, with the missile homing on the signal of the AI radar being reflected off the target. The concept for Artemis led from an earlier project, Spaniel, a surface-to-air missile based on the RP-3 rocket motor. During development, a variation known as Air Spaniel was considered which would use radio control for guidance. It was clear from early in the project that the six-second flight time would make such a system extremely difficult for the operator to correctly aim the missile in time, and the RAE decided that any such weapon had to be automatically guided. Artemis replaced the radio control system with a radio receiver to produce a simple form of semi-active radar homing that would guide it on a curving path to its target. The project was cancelled when it was seen that the RP-3 based rocket had too short a range to keep the fighter outside the bomber aircraft's defensive guns, especially during the period when the Luftwaffe was upgrading its aircraft with more powerful 20mm cannon. A larger design, Little Ben, took over development. There was a brief reprieve during the early stages of the V-1 flying bomb attacks in June 1944 as Artemis would allow slower aircraft to attack these weapons, but this was abandoned when radar-guided anti-aircraft guns and high-performance fighters proved effective.
