ARTEMIS (formally known as the Aerial Reconnaissance Tactical Engagement Missile) won this year’s AIAA Missile Systems Technical Committee Missile Design Competition. Seven students and three advisers made up the winning Missile Design Team, which is based in Georgia Tech’s Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory.

The goal of this year's competition was to develop a small munition concept that could be launched from one or more classes of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with emphasis on low cost, long range, and light weight.

After the ARTEMIS creators won the contest, their final report about it was sent to the U. S. Naval Air Warfare Center, which may eventually use it in development of a UAV-launched weapon concept.

Dr. Dimitri Mavris, an aerospace engineering professor, served as the team’s faculty adviser, and a representative from The Boeing Company was also involved. The Georgia Tech Missile Design team has participated in 16 annual missile competitions.
