Deployed from the ground or from a Wildcat helicopter against flying or floating drones, it achieved a high hit rate. Martlet is one of two new missile systems - the second is the Sea Venom for corvette-sized sea targets. Incidentally, Martlet is an English mythical creature, similar to a swallow, only without feet, which is why it has to fly constantly.
